ORIGINAL: dreamerdreaming OP, good luck with that. Feel your way. Have FUN! ... If YOU want to.... To me, all the fun is in making my own way. I am the owner of my slave, after all. Why would I want to go by someone else's rules? Why would you? The basic difficulty of a contract for online is its enforceability, or lack thereof. You will in effect be taxing your slave's honesty, if you truly punish (not "funish") his disobedience. Such an arrangement will tend to promote his dishonesty; a trait which presumably you do not want to develop or promote in him at all. In other words a D/s online slave contract may tend to produce the exact opposite of the desired result, so that you may defeat your own purpose by employing it. Why not just trust him to be obedient? Make your expectations clear, but don't expect to be able to enforce your standards of discipline from afar. I think you are absolutely right about this. A contract will only work if he is honest and there is no way to know that. If you are going to do this (and it could be fun), I would suggest allowing him to admit to defaulting on the contract without fear of reprisal. If he thinks he is going to get a real punishment he may hide his bad behavior from you and over time that will foster a lot of distrust that wouldn't have been there otherwise, and if you make the punishments fun then he will claim to have broken the rules just to get rewarded which is just as dishonest. I would make things you can't check on optional and instead of punishments just tell him how disappointed you are. The things you can check on the other hand I would punish very severely for violating, and nothing makes a harsher punishment for long distance than extended periods of silence. An example of how this might work is given below. "You must call every night and tell me what you had to eat so I can monitor your diet." If he breaks his diet, tell him how disappointed you are that he doesn't have the motivation to fulfill his promises. If he fails to call on the other hand, then punish him by not speaking to him for three days.
