Punishments when when real, and administered from a place of anger, where the Dominant is serving punishment as a release to vent his frustrations, is in my eyes violence. For any reason that a sub has 'done something wrong', 'misbehaved' there are other ways to deal with this. Talking about it, for one, mediation, or at least the Dom should take some time to be clear about his thoughts, emotions, and RESPONSE, rather than reaction. Master does react with playful hits when i am bratty, i am not sure if this is something that will lead further into the forms of punishment as time goes on. i should hope not. He also uses ignore/withdrawal, or should i say this is how he reacts also, as i do not always think it is a thought and planned response. This is also an issue for me, as i believe communication is the key to any good relationship, and understanding for oneself and another. Yet, no one is perfect, i like to build Master up, due to my adoration for him, but i also realize he is human, and man, and with that i could have the typical woman's complains or relationship bitches, but i reserve them for He is Master. As a submissive we can also use the same psychology, i serve, i serve him well, very well, selflessly, and above all that makes this full service as far as i am concerned is that i compromise, this is a gift. i am sure Master would notice if i did not feel like serving him as well as i do. But as far as the 'punishments' or pain administration goes, it is play, in the bedroom (or the forest, or the lounge room, well wherever we are playing...) Pain is administered in the forms of whip, slap, scratching, flicking, pinching, hair pulling, biting, gagging, clamping...etc, etc... If Master were to get angry with me, and think that he could treat me as the quoted post goes, my level of respect for him would plummet. i have been punished with violence and humiliation before, through an act of anger and revenge, once with a Dom (not my Dom, one who had no concern for me), the act of which, i still have great issues with. It was a source of a deep violation upon my human rights, and deeply scarred my psyche, lucky Master has been patient with me as i work through this. Another was not in a D/s relationship, rather in a very long term so called vanilla relationship, which was really domestic violence. The impact that the level of control this person had upon my whole world, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually had left me future relationship retarded. Not only for emotional and romantic relationships but it also challenges my abilities to trust in the flow of life and people on a general level. As well as given me self esteem issues, and a deep seeded belief that i do not deserve to be loved, this is what lead me to D/s, a belief that I am bad and need to be treated that way. Anyone inviting that willing into their life needs a check up as far as i am concerned. BDSM has been a journey of healing (as well as the pleasures) as i am a self reflective person, therefore the compatibility of being with another self reflective person is necessary. Just because one chooses to be in a relationship that entails an understood power structure, and a variety of kinks that involve pain, discipline, and punishment, does not mean that one can be abused. Every person has their own understanding, sources of pleasure, and issues to work through, and it is reiterated in the forums that finding a compatible playmate or partner is necessary. Maybe i am being judgmental by quoting the following, but for my level of understanding, i would not at all be comfortable with this, let alone enjoy it. But then Daddysprop247, may not enjoy her flesh scratched to shreds and the stimulation of being whipped all over... this is where it comes each to their own i guess. quote:
ORIGINAL: daddysprop247 most punishments in this household are physical...this is very effective for me because i strongly dislike pain and have a pretty low pain threshold. it also works for my Master because it allows him a means to vent any frustration or anger brought about by my mistake or misbehavior. physical punishments vary, from something mild like a firm spanking to something more severe like an out and out beating with fists, belt and feet. then there are many times when i might make a small mistake and he will physically discipline me...a firm slap across the face would be an example of this. this is different from punishment. there are non-physical punishments, usually reserved for the most severe of offenses...temporary abandonment/isolation being the most severe, and thankfully that is a punishment i have only received once. but even if the greater part of the punishment is non-physical, there is almost always some physical pain thrown in, for his own release if nothing else.
