i am a big fan of "funishment"-- i love being a cheeky and playful kitten and getting "funished" for it (oh, a spanking!). i know it's not for everyone, but for me it's a fun part of the "game" element of D/s. (lets face it, life is just one big very very fun game after all!) However there is the "real" element-- deep down, i hate to disappoint Him, and simply knowing that i have hurt or upset or disappointed Him for real simply tears me to pieces. It just takes a look from Him. And that is worse than anything that could ever come from any whip. My ex-Dom was very into strict obedience, and towards the end he would punish me for doing the wrong thing when i didn't entirely understand how to do it right, and the feeling of despair and hopelessness i felt was the beginning of the end. He chose to punish me, rather than stop and instruct and explain properly, and offer me opportunity to practice. It wasn't that i didn't want to fulfill the given task correctly, it was just that i didn't know how to do it and i needed practice in order to do it right. Be sure you understand the distinctions between cheeky funishment, genuine inability, and deliberate disobedience. Be sure that your sub truly understands why she is being punished, and that it is for something that she could have helped. Don't punish for genuine inability. Please. On the flipside, make sure you praise when she DOES do something right. A great deal of the joy and satisfaction (for me, anyway) that comes from D/s is knowing that He pays such close attention to me and He notices when i do something right, or even just appreciates me for being me. Praise her and make her feel good for doing the right thing by you, and the submissive need to please aside, she will naturally want to continue pleasing you because it also makes her feel great.
