Monday.
Question for Monday. I'll be checking back in the early evening.
This is an adult activity, using mostly wood and steel devices. The most famous makers in support of same were based in England, later France, and then Belgium --- but other countries have their own masters. You can find highly skilled but occasionally socially ostracized makers today for the devices. They use all sorts of common and exotic materials but wood can and is used. Both sexes used these items which often feature wood as a part of 'participation'. In Europe, in private, women found it convenient to strip to the waist when doing this. One event featuring less private United States women was in Colorado in the 1800's and ended in a surprising finish. George Washington gave orders for men not to participate. The British respected the private lifestyles in these affairs. Surprisingly this was once an Olympic sport but dropped owing to social standards of the time. The teams (in the loosest sense) were two to five, with one person supported by others. This activity is very, very old but 'standards' were acceptably refined in the late 1700's in the 'civilized' world, but practically every nation worldwide has developed rules governing the occurrence--the military being particularly particular about participation. What's the activity.
