What is an attitude adjuster? - 4/23/2010 11:01:48 AM

OK apologies up front if this is something that I could have googled but I've tried and had a hotpot of answers. Apparently, despite my very best efforts last night I fell short in areas that are to be explained to me in depth on Sunday afternoon with the assistance of the first of eight (there is also a ninth and ultimate that I am unlkely to see for at least a year) attitude adjustor. This is only my second month in scene and not really sure what to expect - except of course, the worst! Seriously, is there a list somewhere? Thank you, Bradley

I wouldn't want to displease another dominant by short cutting her method of punishment of you, if I could figure out what she meant. I have to wonder if you have discussed limitations you might have or many other things. You may have jumped in to things and now you may see why that isn't always a good thing. Part of the reason we might not explain something in detail or keep just one thing back, is that we want you to squirm. (In fact, if you were mine and came here to ask this, I would be upset with you.)

So if you are new and don't understand and have quickly given her the right to punish you and you are afraid, I would suggest you start talking now. You have committed to someone very quickly having been in the scene for two months and she plans a year long punishment. All I can say is 'wow'.

We can't know what her plan is. An attitude adjuster is just that. Anything that works to change your attitude. When my dad said it he meant a two by four upon someone's head. Personally I've never used the term because punishment isn't a dynamic I use a lot. I simply state that I want to see an attitude change and expect it.

"Attitude adjuster" describes the effect of the method, not the method itself. Hell, for all we know, she could be taking you out for ice cream (although I doubt it).

Two months and eight punishments? Wow.

The only one that has a list darling is the one on the other side of your kneel... or at least the only list that matters for you.

Are you actually doing "funishment"?

*and to Steven - ohhhh ice cream. I had some the other day, took my pills and everything. Two days later I was *still* sick and having tummy aches. But ohhhh it was sooooooo worth it.

Not quite sure how you could be falling short in areas that have yet to be explained. My stipulations are clear up front. If you fail in something I have failed to mention then there is certainly a discussion later, but I can't punish someone for something that I, as a Domme, failed to explain would be expected. Perhaps only your Domme can explain this to you as I work a different way. Good luck though.

I certainly hope that your attitude was adjusted and that you learned your lesson, young lady.

I assume "attitude adjuster" is just their nickname for toys, like some people refer to a paddle as the "board of education" or whatever. I agree with LadyNslave that actually punishing you for something without clearly explaining their expectations up front is unreasonable. If it's just a funishment scene, where they pretend that you messed up as an excuse to thwack you, fine.

Many thanks for the replies. I had the whole thing explained to me yesterday and despite putting a reasonable set of mitigating circumstances forward for my previously poor performance there was no doubt that I had not really carried out a task as well as I should have. The first attitude adjustor used was a punishment device, it was explained that this wasn't judicial but merely to give pleasure to a sadist. It seems I did more than OK and received a very complimentary SMS this morning!!!!
