Soooooo, I am guessing that this means someone has screwed up royally and there needs to be corrective action, right? If it is a masochist you are dealing with, I wouldn't bother with physical stuff. That or you would have to be adept enough to make it a very different (in a bad way) experience than what is normally experienced. Emotional masochists, look out! Now you have a tough nut to crack. One of the keys to a successful punishment to me is that it can't be fun for anyone. If you are getting kicks and jollies out of enacting the punishment in any way, you may confuse the submissive. If you are clearly having no fun whatsoever and not at all pleased with having to do it, then you've communicated much more clearly. I have to agree with the face to face confession or the essay. Frankly, it is not that it would necessarily be so hard for me, but that it opens communication. The submissive must be honest with him/herself first of all. Then, if you know the submissive well, holding back when revealing this to you will be fruitless. Further, it serves as a reference point for you to express why what was done was wrong, how to do better next time, and what you see that you can do to insure future success. I not only want a punishment to be a deterrent, but one that will heal and strengthen the relationship as a whole. lovingpet
