Relax, Hermione. Ever been to basic training? I myself have had days like that, where I was too sore (and damaged) to move. I've also had them after a really intense camping/high adventure trip. I healed, and I got a LOT stronger for it, externally and internally. And the drill seargants look after you--in their way--when that happens. I wouldn't be a drill sergeant, I'd be a lot more intimate than that, but that's where I'm coming from, you grok? I can see how, with a willing slave who needs to feel that intense high, this is a strategy that works. And afterwards, if she knows--has a memory she can point to--that when the chips are down and she's knocked out, she will be taken care of, then she will (if she's the type to make this connection) value the day-to-day routine a lot more. If she *wants* to serve, but temporarily cannot, then when she's back in action she'll get back into it with a vengeance. A moment like that to provide hightlight to the daily routine, in my personal experience, is a tie that binds. And yeah, sadism is scary. So is masochism. But the moment of truth, when I'm two inches from her face and pushing her to go a little bit further... and she looks at me, and does it... begging, pleading to stop, but she does it... Yeah. better than drugs. And it has the upside of being an ego boost for both to prove that we can go there, and if done right it makes her stronger.
