Everyone knows Victorians were a bunch of pervs behind closed doors. Does anyone know of any online resources about the kind of stuff they were into?
 
There are plenty of Victorian Novels out there which would suffice. Try The Pearl" or "The Naughty Victorian" to mention a couple.

HDS Household D/s and DD Domestic Discipline
House of Tanos

"Household D/s" (HDS) is a style of D/s centered on the idea of the household, in the Victorian or Edwardian sense, as a social hierarchy within the home. It is influenced by Victorian and Edwardian structures and manners, but also includes attitudes to servants and slaves from Roman and Eastern models, in which sexual service and companionship between master and servant was more socially accepted.

The central figure in Household D/s is the master of the house (for convenience I am writing in terms of male heads of household, but everything here applies equally well to women who use patriarchal styles of dominance.) He holds ultimate authority, and he determines the other members and visitors that participate in the household. With that authority comes an equivalent level of responsibility, and like the captain of a ship, all decisions ultimately rest on his shoulders. Consequently, a strong sense of responsibility is a master's most important character trait, and his trustworthiness and stability are what inspires confidence and obedience from other members.

Guests also bear a responsibility, whether they are submissives or not, and follow the traditions of hospitality in respecting the norms of the household. Submissives and slaves owned by guests should adhere to their owner's rules, unless that would lead to an act which conflicts with a rule of the house.

Supplicants - that is, visiting submissives who seek to join the household - may also spend time there whilst not being a full member. Their status is less ambiguous if the household maintains clear etiquette for guests and rules for its own submissives: supplicants begin as guests and then simply follow whichever submissives' rules they have so far submitted to, and some basic level of submission is likely to be a requirement for their presence to continue.

Submissives and slaves in service to the master of the household may occupy one or more role at different times. These roles provide the pieces with which to build up a hierarchy for the household.

The role of companion is a fusion of the Victorian concept of a lady's companion, the Edwardian courtesan and Eastern concubines, singing girls and geisha. An ideal companion provides her master with social entertainment and company; accompanies him to public and private events where her wit, grace and style reflects on his household; and acts as his social secretary, dealing with invitations and arrangements.

The housekeeper or chatalaine role provides day to day management of the household, keeping accounts and preparing bills and payments for the master's signature. She is also an advisor and confidante when difficult decisions must be made, both for the master and for the other submissives in the household. She also sets the tone and provides an example for other submissives, and may be involved in teaching them the master's preferences for service.

There is a cluster of roles who serve the master's pleasure, by providing objects for his sexual, SM or bondage desires. These roles of concubine, odalisque, plaything or pet serve no practical purpose, but are of great importance to D/s dynamic of the household and the master's reasons for providing it. Submissives in these roles will need to spend time and effort in training, both by discovering the master's preferences and practicing techniques to serve him better, and by training themselves in endurance, or in ways of controlling or freeing their emotions to accept the experiences their master enjoys to inflict.

Submissives should also expect to spend time serving in traditional menial and servant roles, to keep the household functioning, whether they eroticise housework or not. As servants, submissives may also be required to wait upon the master, and silent service at the dinner table can be a powerful reinforcement of the order of the household.

Finally, submissives should all spend time in the role of student, either in formal education or in learning about the interests of the master, or skills useful to their service. The imaginative nature of D/s tends to attract intelligent submissives, and intelligence is a requirement for being a capable master. As such, it is common for households to include a range of talents, which should be discovered and encouraged, as it enriches the master's cultural wealth.

In summary, Household D/s views submissives and slaves as valuable assets, and stresses the need for responsibility and trustworthiness in the master. Roles provide a structure for managing the entry of submissives into a household, for dealing with guests and their submissives, and assigning tasks to household submissives to serve the master's wishes.


Sites such as Taken in Hand also come to mind.

The Victorians were kinky fuckers. The was nothing they were not into. Sexual repression creates perversions we could not imagine as well as the common ones.
