He wrote in his description of the Dera'a beating that "a delicious warmth, probably sexual, was swelling through me," and he also included a detailed description of the guards' whip in a style typical of masochists' writing. [228] In later life, Lawrence arranged to pay a military colleague to administer beatings to him, [229] and to be subjected to severe formal tests of fitness and stamina. [212] John Bruce first wrote on this topic, including some other statements that were not credible, but Lawrence's biographers regard the beatings as established fact.
