When Arwen was young 10-15

The orphan boy named Aragorn was being raised in Rivendell, but had never met Elrond's daughter before. He happened to go hunting just when Arwen, back from her stay in Lothlorien, decided to defy her father's wishes and dance naked in the woods again.

Both Arwen and the teenage Aragorn were stunned by seeing each other. Arwen had never seen a human boy before, and completely forgot how little she was wearing. Aragorn was literally paralyzed by her beauty, as his ancestor Beren had been by Luthien - although the poem 'Lay of Leithian' didn't say whether Luthien was wearing anything or not.

(Yes, I know Arwen was really centuries old before Aragorn saw her, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story. This is a tabloid Elvish chronicle.)

Elrond knew everything that happened in his realm, and soon came to collect Arwen, leaving young Aragorn still paralyzed by the beauty of his naked daughter. Arwen knew she was in for another spanking.

 (Translation from the Elvish)
Elrond: My dear daughter, you have disobeyed again, despite your earlier punishments. It makes me very sorrowful, but I must be more strict with you.
Arwen: Not mallorn saplings, please Father, it hurts too much!
Elrond: You should have considered such, before dancing without clothes against my command, and letting the human boy see you.
(What follows is called 'nirnaeth arnoediad' by the Elves - 'unnumbered tears').

Elrond released young Aragorn from the paralyzing spell brought on by seeing Arwen dance naked. To show him that what had happened was wrong, and to shame his errant daughter, he let the boy see her red and punished Elven bottom. Of course, he then had to break the spell again.

Young Aragorn sought out Arwen later, and found her still weeping from the birching she had suffered. "Here" he said, "let me put some of this athelas on your sore... ummm... skin. I've found that for me alone, it heals almost anything." The weed (known to some as kingsfoil) indeed soothed her pain and healed the marks of the cruel twigs instantly. Arwen stopped crying. Aragorn managed to apply the salve without seeing enough of her naked beauty to put him into a paralyzing spell again. Arwen enjoyed the sensation of his soothing hands very much, and was overcome with gratitude and affection. Aragorn in turn felt a protective love that would last a lifetime.

Decades later, as King and Queen of Gondor, Aragorn and Arwen occasionally sought to recapture that first moment of their love, when he soothed her behind with athelas. But of course, he had to make it sore first. Then would come the soothing weed, then the making of human/elf hybrids.

Time had made Aragorn able to see Arwen nude without being gripped by the paralyzing spell she cast. But any servants who peeked at her in the bath or changing would be frozen to the spot, so they always got caught. To make the punishment fit the crime, they would be stripped and put in the public pillory for a day. :)
