I think about 95% of what L.A says absolutely rocks. She does an amazing job of giving fair and tempered opinions. The other 5% is just stuff I disagree with from my own personal views and philosophies. As far as the O.P.... Punishment is a pretty big deal for me and not something I use off the drop of a hat. The idea of punishing a consenting adult has never sat well with me. I prefer the concepts of "correction" and "discipline" where for example if they fail to fold clothing in a proper way, then I make them refold it multiple times. Personally, I have yet to be in a situation where I have had to "punish" a sub, but none the less, I have made quite a few mistakes (more than a few actually) Like everyone else who has posted here (more or less), I apologize and admit my mistake, but the part I think is more important is learning from it and not making the same mistake again. Apologies mean very little if they are given 2, 3 or 4 times for the same mistake. Making mistakes was one of my fears in my beginning of this, because of the whole "Dominants are gods" bullshit. The fear of fucking up was in fact keeping me from moving forward. It took quite a lot of standing in front of the mirror and going "Your human and you are sooooo going to fuck this up at one point or another so get over it." We're all human. Its going to happen. Personally...I think a large part of dominance is about taking responsibility so making a mistake doesnt make one less dominant but rather not owning up to it.
