ORIGINAL: mystickoolaid I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this thread or not... but anyhow... I was talking to a potential sub and he told me he was 'sunstrapped'. I had never heard of this before, so I asked what it was. This is the response I got: that is where i was made to lay out in sun till i was sunburned...then my owner took a thin leather belt and whpped my back FULL FORCE over the sunburned back, about 100 lashes usually...it was for SEVERE punishments ...i hated it, but i admit it has humbled me more What do you guys think? Reasonable punishment or abuse? To me, whether or not it's reasonable would depend upon the infraction which garnered the punishment. Is the punishment going to be so memorable that the actual crime is forgotten? In the dynamic I share with Himself, punishment is used solely to teach lessons so that behavior is modified to fit the path he chooses for us. The wording for this particular punishment was 'usually' 100 lashes after the sunburning which leads me to believe that such a punishment is not rare and I would be skeptical to believe that such a punishment would be valuable when geared towards a wide variety of 'crimes'. Ultimately, I would probably say it's 'not' reasonable by the terms of my own relationship because that punishment, used arbitrarily, would not teach me a damn thing except to avoid the punishment rather than modify improper behavior. For a play scene, as opposed to punishment, I would not find it unreasonable though certainly it's edgy.
