Punishment IS manipulation, and emotional manipulation, like hitting, isn't itself bad or wrong. But you already understand how that works, and you don't want those suggestions, so: punishment options. If it's a task done badly, redoing the task is good, too, because it doesn't require much additional attention from me. If you really need proper "punishment" tasks, try handwritten lines, cutting off communication, depriving her of things she enjoys (the latest episode of her favorite tv show? the book she's currently reading?). Embarrassment may work, too. Productive punishment is nice--chores, perhaps. Maybe physical exercise, although I worry about developing a punishment-association with going to the gym. For the same reason, I don't like the idea of an essay as punishment. Writing a good essay is an art and a skill, and by all means, foster it in your submissive if you have the ability! Assign essays, and punish errors in essay writing if you like, but treating writing as a punishment would discourage good written expression. Cutting is great, degradation is super, but encouraging poor written expression--or worse, encouraging loathing of writing--is a kink that is not, in my estimation, okay. No favorite websites, but check out your local jewelers for collar options. Secondhand and vintage stores that sell jewelry are great! I have some beautiful vintage chokers that BDSM people mistake for collars so often that I don't wear them at scene events. I agree with LA: Leather by Danny is the place to find your restraints, especially as you want interesting colors. His purple is lovely. Monica
