ORIGINAL: Celeste43 Doesn't seem to address why she forgot. Is work extremely stressful, is the drive home very tricky? Seems to me that if it's the drive itself then you are telling her she has to focus on the exercise and not on driving. Hardly a safe thing to do. I kegel in the car, but while he drives, not while I do. I can't deal with focusing on the kegel routine, 5 second slow build, hold for 5, release over 5 and also pay full attention to the road. So for me, if I were punished for trying to get home safe, I'd be resentful and distrustful which would not bode well for the future of the relationship. Now if it's that her boss spends the day cursing at her and she's damn near in tears by the time she gets in the car, that is a different problem and also one that would effect driving home safely. However if it's just that she's very busy, I think you would do better to help her organize herself so she could remember. A sheet of paper saying kegel placed on the seat so she sits on it and remembers, and then puts it back on the seat when she gets out. Positive solutions that also address the underlying problem. Thank you for the comments. Your comments on situations is exactly why each situation is different. What has happened, how has this been dealt with in the past, what is the purpose of this exercise, why is it important, etc. All those things enter into the equation, and at the end of the day, the direct approach was appropriate and needed. The punishment given was one that followed several reminders, a note in the car with "50" on it, and my understanding of why she forgot. Simply put, it's a change in behavior for her, to rememeber details of when to do so, and why. One interesting note is that sometimes the corporal method works best on some, and not on others. A submissive that I had a wonderful relationship with worked well with simple writings. Some work with good conversation. My girl now works best with direct physical punishment. Call it her need for atonement, her need for the pain - these work well with her. She has commented to me that punishments allow her to "let go" of the stress - almost a cleansing. Regards, EO
