ORIGINAL: cutew I have been told by Master that punishing me by use of physical would never work (I may not behave ever), because I enjoy the pain. Mental I do to myself, worse that he could ever do! I have actually at one point had Master state that I didn't mess up as bad as I believed I did, and to stop beating myself up over it, because there was no problem in his mind! That said, I have had it told to me that there are physical things that could be done with me that would be torture to me...sigh, but again they would all come back to mental in the end. I would know I displeased him, and the reason I was over there an missing out on such things that I enjoy was because I messed up. Although I have never had any punishment truly...I have been told there is no need to punish me, I know when I mess up, and that I punish myself much more than he ever could. I think he meant I simply do a better job. I don't repeat the same mistakes again though...or it is rare that I do! Im probably in the minority when I say that I dont think punishment needs to be so common in wiitwd. I think the goal in any good relationship is for each person to meet the others' needs. Therefore, its sort of a no-brainer that most sub/slaves would already be doing their best to be pleasing to their Dom/Master. I understand feeling like crap when we may have disappointed, but I dont see how anything more than communication is needed when those times occur. I have experienced both the feeling of knowing I fell short of pleasing and also having been punished for it physically and emotionally. For me, just knowing that Ive disappointed is basically enough to make me want to "right" the wrong, as soon as I can, in whatever way I can. However, Im not going to say thats a worse punishment than a physical one. Its not....Not for me anyway. I think sometimes when I hear slave/subs say that there is no worse punishment than knowing they've disappointed, it crosses my mind that they just havent been hit hard enough. But then if someone enjoys pain, I suppose an emotional/mental punishment would obviously be worse. Depends on the person. Im just not crazy about the whole punishment thing in a Ds relationship. Im probably going to get jumped for this, but frankly, I think its mostly kink for alot of people and they just dont want to admit it. I can understand some type of exercise in order to "teach" a sub/slave; but for alot of people, I think "punishment" is mostly an effort to create a mindset for a scene. It sort of throws out a more passionate and emotion-evoking twist, as opposed to just bending over and taking a whipping because sub and master want it. I think alot of people get off on it, but they're in denial about it.
