Levicorpus

This-- is actually a more brilliant comment than I first gave you credit for, Hwyla.

I wrote a fiction {"LIberacorpus," on my lj
http://terri-testing.livejournal.com/7569.html) in which an abusive!James used Levicorpus to train Lily in submissivenss, including by displaying her semi-nude before his mates.

And in it I had Lily snicker at the poetic justice of Sev being publicly humiliated by the spell he insisted couldn't really hurt anyone, when she'd argued it was hurtful to the victim.

And you're right, of course, by age 15/16 the issue of public exposure is going to look different if a boy does it to a girl.

If done to a victim whom one expects to expose, it is an overt sexual assault. (If I'm in jeans and a t-shirt, the reversal does nothing; if I'm in jeans and a loose smock, my bra will be exposed; if I'm in a dress or robes, all my underwear; if I'm commando, my genitals. So how bad it is to use it depends in part on the expectations of what the other person is wearing.)

If done by a boy against a girl, it's much more obviously an assualt--at least, as you so justly point out, among other girls.
