Based on what you've given it seems out of line to me. Unless he's also giving you rewards of equal value (whatever a box of Godiva truffles is to you or possibly shiny things), I personally wouldn't accept it when I'd been rebuffing the advances. Tell me, if he punishes you for saying no exactly what does he want you to do when people hit on you?

Personally, I do struggle to always remember that even if Valyraen isn't right, he's never wrong. However, he does admit when he's wrong and when he says he's wrong he doesn't continue to say that whatever punishment he gave me was justified. He simply kisses my forehead, says he was wrong, says sorry and we both move on.

200 for pleasure is a lot different from 200 for punishment.       mind set is different.         

Perhaps for some.  My body responds to the pain  regardless of the mindset.  I get wet.
Punish me with 200 lashes for an email and I might look for another email to send......
I think its pretty hokey actually that he's punishing for an email, but then I'm sure we don't really know the rest of the story.  I don't tend to get punished with pain, for obvious reasons, unless there is absolutely no other punishment suitable.  To each their own and all that.

It was a long term friend,   no BDSM connections. Master has admitted He was wrong.       but still says He was justified.    and even if not, He can do as He pleases.            
              


Id like to know how he can be wrong and justefied at the same time??

Honestly I think that this sorta thing is wrong.... You where talking to a friand as you are aloud to do, you declined a meeting which is what you where suposed to do yet he punished you... There is something really wrong there (I dont want to use the word abusive but its on the tip of my fingers) It seems to me the Dom was menipulateing the facts to fit his wish to give you 200 lashes.. which even if you had broken a rule here would in my eyes be a bit extreme for the infraction. Punishment should fit the crime and if this was worth 200 lashes I really hope you tread carefully because you are on thin ice I hate to see what he would do if you skiped a chore or something more savear... And honestly if he didnt like that e-mail I dont see him beeing to thrilled you made this thread!!! He leaves no room to back off and only room to get more savear with punishments by setting the bar so high for such a small infraction.... This is all just my opinion but I would be conserned..


People are saying he could do that to you for anything someone said he could do that to you just because he was bored and this is true but that is WAY different... beating a slave because you want to because you own them is one thing but it is another to beat them as PUNISHMENT for no reason.. that is more exteme in the sence of emotion if not anything els and to me I would feel it was sorry to use the word but abusive... but thats just to me you may be different everyone is and some wont agree but punishment is something not to be taken lightly.

I was punished for an email someone sent me. i answered politely. he answered wanting to meet.   Even though i said no to meet,( im collared, owned).      My choices were. 200 lashes with a flogger, 100 lashes and sleep chained on the floor for a week, or go home. 
i took the 200.      
Was He justified in doing this??


Wow, this whole thing made my head hurt trying to figure it out. Your profile states that you are owned. Got that. It also states that you are 'actively seeking dominant males'. Don't get that. Later in the thread you state that your email correspondance is with a long term friend but here it seems as if you were just answering someone with a polite 'no' to wanting to meet.

Whether the punishment was justified or not doesn't seem to be the important issue to me. Whether or not it was effective would seem to be the important issue and as you are here questioning it, it doesn't seem as though you learned anything from it so it doesn't seem as though that punishment was an effective way to deal with the issue.

I'm not even sure where I'm going with this because, frankly, I'm still confused but reading your profile..

mnottertail -> RE: justified punishment (2/18/2007 4:30:31 AM)

Exactly, punishment to fit the crime.


Here is a warning, don't throw out my favorite raggedy underwear in the trash without permission, it ain't gonna be your best day.

michaels4evr -> RE: justified punishment (2/18/2007 6:36:40 AM)

I'm not going to get into the relationship issues..and there does appear to be quite a few..LA and others have adequately addressed those.. BUT

no one here can tell you if 200 lashes is justified, or even harsh..its all relative..what type of flogger used, how hard he hit you, whether you are a masochist, whether the psychological effects of the lashing play into it.. punishment is really an individual thing..physical punishment would do absolutely nothing for me but possibly reinforce the undesired behavior, especially since S/M activities are few and far between these days..however, for others just the thought of being whipped is horrifying.

instead of focusing on whether He was justified, a better use of energy might be to focus on the obvious miscommunication that lead you to this point.

Interesting....

First, janet, would seem you had a choice, unlike many, you did in deed have a choice. You choose the whip. Was he wrong? Obvisously he thought you did something and hence he gave you a couple of choices. Why he would say he was wrong and then say he was justifed ... havent the clue on that one. You could of just up and left, choosen the lesser of the lashes, but you did not.

There is really only one actual conclusion since _you agreed_ to take the whip 200 times. He was totally justified. Further, he was not wrong either. He gave you a choice, and be thankful for that, you took one of the options, live with it.

amuzingtoyou -> RE: justified punishment (2/18/2007 9:48:06 AM)

Im still confused on what you did wrong? And why you were being punished? It seems from the information given that your dominant was merely looking for a reason to punish you. So you say you want to stay in this dynamic. Well if it works for you thats great..however you wouldn't be comming here if you didn't have questions or concerns. When i read this a big red flag went up for me. You say you are new to the lifesyle, well in my opinion this type of punishment is not acceptable for the crime. It sounds like a nice formula for abuse. Yes even though you agreed to it, you were given three choices. None of them appealed to you very much. But again..what was the crime? Basically what he was saying is you take my physical punishment or you can leave. Sounds like emotional manipulation to me.

I don't wish to make Aquatic feel singled out, but her comments represented the one of the common trends in this thread that I disagree with.

In the context of an M/s relationship, the dominant may choose to punish their slave in any way s/he sees fit.  M/s isn't the only way to live, though; a non-TPE relationship is just fine and dandy as well.  A wise dominant, to me, would explain why the sub/slave is being punished so as to prevent this from reoccurring, as it saves time and effort.  I wish I could tell my cats they're being sprayed with water for trying to eat my sandwich, but all they know is every time they're near my plate, they get wet.  This is not a 'wrong' way to teach, for cats or humans, it just takes a lot more time and effort on the discipliner's part (and a lot more frustration on the receiver's part.)

As suggested before, if you feel the situation was unfair, you do have options available; leaving may seem like an overly harsh alternative, but if the lesson he was teaching was "I can punish you, anytime, anywhere, for any reason" than it's a lesson worth learning.  If he is inexperienced or overly callous, those are traits you will have to choose to accept or reject, yourself.

Good luck,

Stephan

Not everyone in a master/slave dynamic chooses a true and total power exchange. As you said, it's not for everyone.
 
My opinion is that sure, you can punish your slave anytime you want. Does that make it a good idea? No. Does that mean I have to agree with it? No. Does that mean when another submissive/slave asks me "Do you think I deserved this?" I'm always going to say "Yes!"? No.
 
Then again, my opinion is also: Hit your dog enough without giving it some love and it's going to run away.




sharainks -> RE: justified punishment (2/18/2007 11:19:35 AM)

First off like many on here I have to wonder about your relationship.  Had you talked about punishment at all?  Had he set clear cut guidelines of what would and would not be acceptable to him?  Were you in trouble for getting the email or for answering it? 

Then there is the flogging itself.  Was the flogging over the top?  To the point you felt traumatized?  Then with a novice person it may not have been appropriate.  It was inappropriate that you both didn't have a clear understanding of his expectations of you and what your consequences would be if you did not meet those.  If those things had been clear in your mind before this happened you would not need to ask the question you are asking.

You say you are a slave.  In your own mind what is it about the relationship that makes you a slave?  My suggestion would be (for both of you) that you refrain from further punishments until both have a clear idea of the expectations of this relationship.
