Truly Abbi, no one can answer this but you and your partner. We have a punishment dynamic, many people here do not. It is a bit of a hot topic as opinions are greatly divided on whether it should be used and how. So some questions: -You 'deserve' punishment. Are we talking you being defiant, making honest mistakes, playing up for attention, or is this a game where you find offenses to use in a punishment scene? I know this is boring, but if you're constantly misbehaving (beyond something you both agree is fun and hot) it perhaps means things aren't working right. And I say that in a non-judgmental way - heck, I just admitted in another thread what a nightmare I was when I first started out. So first things first: lots of talking about why you disobey. Are you doing too much too soon? Is he asking things you're not comfortable with? Do you feel he's inconsistent and you need to push for boundaries? - What do you want the punishment to achieve? If you want a deterrent, he needs to choose something you don't like. Doesn't have to push your limits, it could just be something tedious or unpleasant, like watching Highlander 2. If you want it to actually solve the problem, then it needs to work towards that - if you're always late, for example, you might have to work together on your time keeping skills. I'm sure you know this already, but if you decide to use punishment, it needs to be in addition to adult communication and not a substitute. We do use physical punishment, but I'm not a masochist - he does things that don't feel good. That doesn't work for everyone and takes a lot of trust. For me the pain, especially when it's more than I can easily take, is cathartic. May not be that way for you. You can google 'punishment ideas' and come up with thousands, but ultimately you need to a) address the reasons for misbehavior and b)figure out what the aim of the punishment is.
