This story has its roots in an article I read years ago which described how in Puritan North America there were public beatings for wrongdoers. It said that if an attractive young woman was ever fastened in the stocks then the men would happily line up to punish her. The inevitable result was a lot of highly aroused men hurrying home to fuck their wives.
I've no idea what evidence there is to support this piece of sexual history, but it did seem to make an ideal starting point for a fantasy.

Massachusetts 1779
Joseph grips Matthew's arm.
"Have you heard? The elders have convicted Amy Portlow of theft. She will be placed in the stocks on Wednesday."
"Yes, Adam told me. He said that she is an unfortunate young woman and we must be prepared to administer our share of the punishment."
A cool smile appears on Joseph's lips.
"That was exactly my thought. When she is bent over with her backside presented for chastisement she will regret her wrongdoing."

Martha returns her cup and saucer to the table. She glances across at Abigail and Elizabeth.
"I assume you have heard that the Portlow girl is to be punished on Wednesday."
"Yes, that information has reached me."
"Well it is quite right that she should be punished and of course the men will have to administer it. But I think we must be aware of the consequences -- we do not want a repetition of the events of 1775."
Abigail nods her agreement. 1775 was the last time a young woman had been punished and it resulted in an alarming outbreak of sexual activity where the men seemed to be intent on grabbing anything that moved. Martha continues.
"I understand that Joseph, Adam and Matthew will be attending and of course that is their right. I suggested to Joseph that it was not completely necessary, but he said they have their positions in the community to consider and he felt they were obliged to attend. I pointed out that they had not attended the recent punishments of Matthew Dawkins or Abraham Losey, but he said it was exactly because they missed them, that they must attend on this occasion."
Martha pauses, her lips forming a thin line.
"If they must attend then I suggest that as their wives we should all stay here for tea and companionship until well after nightfall."
She looks away and blushes slightly.
"That way we may escape the worst consequences of any after effects from our husbands exertions on behalf of the community."
Elizabeth and Abigail nod their agreement. Martha was obviously desperate to avoid a repeat of the events of 1775. The punishment had been at midday and Joseph had returned at one o'clock. Passers-by hearing her alarmed cries had been witness to Martha spread across the kitchen table while Joseph thrust excitedly between her legs.
Abigail looks at Martha, who is a handsome buxom woman in her early thirties. She and Elizabeth are happy to help as Martha has been a good friend to them. Abigail was twenty seven, medium height and an attractive brunette. Elizabeth was a year younger and with the sort of blonde good looks that made man look twice.
Elizabeth's husband Matthew was probably the least assertive of the three, so Abigail makes a suggestion.
"Perhaps we should meet at Elizabeth's house on that day. It might prove most acceptable to our husbands."
"That will be fine by me. I will mention it to Matthew."
"It's probably best not to bother him with details like that, he will not be interested," says Martha smoothly. "Once the men have left home I suggest that Abigail and I call round to see you."

Wednesday at forty-five minutes past midday. Joseph, Adam and Matthew head down the main street. Joseph is the oldest and the leader of the trio, he has a natural air of authority which the others respect.
"There is no need to be there at midday. Last time I had to queue behind eight other men. Hopefully the queue will have dispersed."
"Amy is a handsome young woman, I hope we can correct her ways," says Adam.
"Indeed," observes Joseph. "Her future husband will thank us for today's work. She has a fine body, it would be sad to see her fall into wickedness. Let us hope we can redeem her."
Joseph thought of Amy walking down the street. She moved with an easy gait, her breasts swaying with each step. All morning he had felt a pleasurable tingling in his loins at the thought of that young woman. A vivid image kept flashing into his brain -- Amy bent over, naked from the waist downwards, her pussy pouting wetly. If only that could be the case! She would in fact be fully clothed, but he would get to chastise her and then return home and satisfy his lust on Martha.
He glances at Matthew. He is the youngest of them and not a strong character, but Joseph has to admit that he has an attractive wife. Elizabeth's small breasts do not compare well with Martha's ample chest, but her blonde good looks and neat figure often led Joseph to daydream about the pale bush and tight pussy hidden beneath her dress.
Adam was lost in his own thoughts. He had sensed some disapproval from his wife Abigail over his participation in the punishment, but like Matthew he had missed the events of 1775, so he was determined not to miss out this time. He remembered a drunken campfire conversation when some of the men had talked with vulgar wistfulness about the events of 1775.
They reached the top of the main street, continued west past the church and Amy soon comes into view. She is bent over with the stocks fastened around her neck and wrists. No one else is about.
