Dunamis2009 -> Punishment feels fake? (7/9/2012 12:42:52 AM)
Hello all, I'm relatively new to the BDSM world. My SO confided in me her tendency as a sub relatively early in our relationship, and as I learned more about what BDSM was, what she wanted in a dom, and which aspects stay in the bedroom vs. which apply ubiquitously in our relationship, well- let's just say I've started to enjoy playtime just as much, if not more, than she does. However, one aspect of our relationship still confuses me. It's pretty obvious that she enjoys punishments I give her, but punishments are supposed to be a deterrent to future behaviour, right? So, whenever she does something wrong that needs correcting, it feels "fake" to me to punish her for it through spankings and the like, because I feel that she enjoys the punishment and might continue the unwanted behaviours in order to receive more punishment. In fact, I feel like I can remember at least one time in which this was indeed the case. Not to mention, I don't want her to miss out on some of her favourite sensations (She really loves wax) simply because they are labeled as "punishments only". So, experienced ones, how do you separate out pleasurable punishment from deterrent? Do you ignore the fact that your sub enjoys the punishments he or she receives? Or do you think of something that your sub genuinely dislikes? Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for punishments for a dom rather new at the craft? Thanks in advance!

Make the punishment something she doesn't like, rather than things you do for fun.

For us, it's the mindset but Master is a sadist and I'm not a masochist so for us that's rather easy...most things he does hurt the hell out of me lol. In your case I would do something to her she does not like or take something away. It doesn't have to be sexual unless this is just bedroom play. If it's just bedroom play then I don't see what she could possibly be punished for. You're just role playing.

Oh come on! If she likes it, it's not a punishment. If she doesn't like it, it is. There's nothing wrong with "funishment" - Play punishment that you both enjoy. But if you actually want to punish, then I'm sure you could figure out something that she wouldn't enjoy.

Dunamis2009 -> RE: Punishment feels fake? (7/9/2012 1:12:45 AM)
Well, that was quick, haha. Thanks for the responses! Yeah, I actually got a lot from your post, littlewonder- I was blurring the lines of bedroom play and the real world. It may not help that it's 4 in the morning, either. I guess not the greatest post to start off my career at CM, but hey; I'm learning already!

Hey, we all started somewhere. Good luck... and enjoy the journey.

Sounds like you have had your question answered already, but what the heck. Don't use spankings/wax/any of her other favourite things as punishment if you really want her to change her behaviour. In my case, a spanking is yummy, and something to be used for fun. Sometimes it might be a 'play punishment' such as 'oh you're so cheeky bend over my lap this instant' - he's not really cross, the 'cheekiness' is just playfulness and the spanking is for fun. If he dislikes something I do or I disobey or whatever, the punishment is not something I enjoy. I hate hate hate the riding crop and as such it is a pretty effective deterrent. Another useful punishment is 'go away until you can behave yourself'. No chance of me playing up for that.

Punishing a Maso... Tie her up with an assortment of floggers and stuff in plain view, then leave her and go watch TV? Just remember to untie her at bed time heh. -ARIES

Disapproval is always sufficient punishment for me.

Punishment = Make her go without playtime, make her do nasty chores. Fun-ishment = the spankings and tying ect. Deterrant means it has to be something she dislikes greatly, and it also means making sure she understands you are upset/unhappy with her behavior. If it's something you genuinely can't tolerate as opposed to some manufactured brattiness, make sure you sit her down and tell her as an adult... this has no place in your relationship, and it needs to end, before the dynamic does.

He doesn't need harshness to correct my behavior, that I did not please him is quite enough. Now my sub, yes I have punished him. He's a maso, so believe me, it's never physical. Once he had to write an essay, which he would not have been able to complete w/o having to spend some time THINKING about his behavior. You know, he can be a bit of a brat, and sometimes he just goes too far with that and needs to be strongly reminded of who's in charge. I think male subs in general need a stronger tug on the leash at times. But punishing a maso by spanking her? That ain't gonna work unless you want to get seriously brutal, beyond, and I mean well beyond, what she wants to take. And with a maso, shesh, you just never know where that line is. Really, the absolute best way to punish a maso is to not spank them or engage them psychically. Now funishment I love and I think most of us do. I talk to my boy once a day generally, and the conversation is often spiced with the spread sheet I am keeping on all his many transgressions and how he's gonna "get it" when I see him. That's just fun stuff, am I right?

Rewards are better than punishment Withholding rewards then becomes the punishment Change the dynamic and the problem is solved

You deserve a spanking". If that's not working, turn those activities into rewards rather than "punishment" and leave the stuff she doesn't like for actual correcting.

He's such a bad, bratty sub I have to use a spreadsheet to keep track of how bad he is. Pure fun, and sick sense of humor. I once had a "Big Book of Consequences" where we logged ever transgression (and every consequence) she had ever had. That was fun. Man, oh man, she hated that book. She saw it as a tome of her failures-it's mere presence in our house was like a needle in her eye...which, of course, I loved. Being the nice cat I am, I would do things like "accidentally" leave it on the kitchen table so it was the first thing she saw in the AM. Good times

GAWD, you are an evil man, Kana!!

Kana -> RE: Punishment feels fake? (7/9/2012 9:23:51 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: GreedyTop GAWD, you are an evil man, Kana!! No. The wost part was that I made her enter her transgressions by hand, then every Tuesday she would have to crawl and get the book, bring it back to me, and then kneel while I recited her list of misdeeds and doled out consequences. :-) That was awesome. She would be shaking like a leaf when I called out, "It's time. Get the book slut and let's clear the slate." Boy, that was fun. I may have to re-enact those days.

GreedyTop -> RE: Punishment feels fake? (7/9/2012 9:31:53 AM)
Evil fucker :) I enjoy hearing about it, but I can because I am not HER....
