ORIGINAL: angaothsi I honestly dont think LA was being anything but serious. The whole point of a punishment is to well...punish. Punishment isn't fun and often times it isn't sexy either. A very effective way to get a submissive or slaves attetion is to give them little or no attetion. I.E. you DON'T do this.....you DON'T get that We all have our moments and when I have mine He knows, his anger I can withstand, physical punishment I enjoy, but His dissipointment and Him ignoring me will snap my ass back in line quicker then you can blink. As for cooking naked.....sorry but ewwww, no naked asses in the kitchen please. I think if everyone in bdsm were required to take a remedial course in traditional psychological behavioral conditioning, we'd all be the better for it. The purpose of training/discipline/punishment/rewards is to CHANGE BEHAVIOR. Sometimes you can try and change thought processes but that's a far more cognitive processing issue and the dynamics of behavioral conditioning don't apply nearly as well. The terms to use are: positive- to GIVE something to someone negative- to take AWAY something from someone punishment- an action taken to DECREASE the likelihood of a particular behavior being repeated reward- an action taken to INCREASE the likelihood of a particular behavior being repeated You can have positive punishment- giving someone a flogging, you can have negative rewards- taking away their chores for a week. It's all really about "What behavior are they expressing?" "what behavior do I want them to express?" "How do I directly mold their current behavior into future behavior?" It can all get a lot more complicated than this, you got reinforcement schedules, you got many other types of behavioral conditioning, not to mention simply dealing with humans and all their crap. But if people even stuck to these essential basics, I think they'd be a lot more effective in their training and it would be a far smaller part of the relationship, rather than a rather significant part that so many people put into it. I have to say this is is probably some of the most realistic advice on punishment I have yet to see on Collarme.com. The problem is that 80% of people, especially subs, seem to think its some kind of elaborate game. Like, for example, one the rules I set down with a girl was punctuality. On one of her visists to spend the weekend with me, she arrived 30 minutes late. After kneeling and apologizing profusely, she looked up at me and said "Are you going to make me sit in the corner?" First...you break my rule...and then you tell me how to punish you?! How is it a punishment if its something you clearly want to do? I've been reading this thread and I would never put this much though into planning punishments and making my punishment into a kinky and elaborate thing. My punishments are meant to be something the submissive does not like in the least and to correct behavior. The main thing submissive's want from their dominant is attention and praise. Ignoring them and showing disapointment in a controlled way often gets the job done. If that doesnt work and the problem continues to happen, then its time to back up the disapointment with a little something else to say "Hey, look, I'm not fucking around with this. I want it done." I am puzzled as to the point of sending a submissive to collect all the most "extreme" punishments they can find. So they can say "Now here...look...this is what I am gonna do if your not good..I mean it!" or perhaps so the submissive can choose the punishments she likes the best. My idea of an extreme punishment : Get rid of them If the behavior of a submissive is so bad that I have to put the time and energy into doing something catastrophically sadistic on such a regular basis, that I need a list of extreme ideas.to implement...then I am better off finding someone else. Personally, I dont want to do something really sadistic and erotic as a punishment because I like doing those things for my own fun. Now as far as actual realistc punishments.... If they wont do what I want them to do, ignore them. If that still isnt getting the point across, then lock them in a car or in a garage during the middle of winter dressed very scantily. Most people dont particularly like the cold. Now I am ignoring them, they are freezing, and have plenty of time to think about what they havent done for me. I like to pick out clothes for my submissive. Since I am a guy however and have no fashion sense, I have them make 3 outfits for me to choose. If they cant make a decision on what 3 outfits to pick out in ample time before the event (a problem that seems to be very common with women when it comes to picking out something to wear), then make them wear the most ugly mismatched outfit you can put together. If its a play party, make them go naked. The submissive forgets to use honorifics or talks too much. Enforce a period of silence. If they cant manage to stay silent, use a gag. These three examples were direct, straight to the point, and tailored to fit the crime. There was a bad behavior and the punishment was used to correct that particular behavior. I doubt many submissives will reply to this post and say "Wow...your punishments are absolutely perfect for me and just what I need." They arent supposed to be something you want to endure. They are supposed to be things you dont like and dont want to do to correct behavior I find unpleasing and inappropriate and to encourage behavior that I want. The point isnt "You do something bad and then I do something sadistic and erotic to you". The point is "You do something bad, I make you do something that is completely unenjoyable and then we do the sadistic and erotic things for fun when your good."
