WiseCracknSadist -> Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 6:26:35 PM)

I was curious about rule enforcement in relationships. The general concensous seems to be that when a sub or slave misbehaves they are punished.

So am I to assume that good behavior is expected and anything less than what is expected is punished? Or do some couple or families also use a reward system for continued good behavior?

I realize that everyone is different just looking to be enlightened.

Good behaviour is expected from me and not rewarded as such. Bad behaviour is punished there and then. We have very few rules as my behaviour has in the main been acceptable to him without them.



LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 6:47:01 PM)

Rewards tend to be far more effective in behavior modification than punishments.  Also, a little tends to go a long way for both so I don't need to throw a party every time he remembers something he should remember.

For me, punishment is extremely serious and extremely rare- I really don't get relationships in which punishment is a weekly or nearly daily event and so casually tossed out like cookies.

hisannabelle -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 6:53:22 PM)

greetings wisecracknsadist,

good behavior is expected, and i consider the positive attention i get from Him to be a reward for that. "bad behavior," as such, is dealt with accordingly...99% of the time it's not a willful disobedience issue, but either way, we discuss it, i endeavor to change it, and move on. occasionally if i overstep a restriction (such as accidentally saying "please" in the heat of the moment, even though begging is not allowed), i'll be physically punished in seriousness (by a faceslap, or whatever), but usually corporal punishment is reserved for "play" punishment in our relationship.

respectfully,
annabelle.



ExSteelAgain -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 7:06:59 PM)

My reward for good behavior is a growing attention I show her. That's just human nature. My punishment is the opposite. Even though there was a great thread on how to punish a masochist physically, I'm not sure about it. I have come to the conclusion I won't use it again because I would have to alter the safe way I use pain in scenes. I'm not comfortable with doing that.

I wouldn't assume anything.  You'll find a little of everything.  There are those who use reward only and exclude punishment.  You'll find some who do the reverse and use punishment, but not reward.  You'll find every conceivable mix of the two.  And you'll also get arguments and discussions about punishment vs discipline vs correction and whether or not they're the same thing or not.

Me personally, I use punishment / discipline (in my book they are the same thing) to correct undesirable behaviors, while using reward / reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors.  I find the combination of the two works quite well.  I also use a process of extinction to eliminate undesired behaviors and shaping to create desired behaviors not already present... but now we're getting into the deep end of the behavioral psychology pool.

spanklette -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 7:17:19 PM)

I can't remember the last time I was punished. It's not really that my Daddy doesn't believe in it, but why would you be with someone that you're having to punish all of the time in order to expect compliance?
 
He motivates me to succeed, but not all successes are rewarded. Sometimes just the success can be the only reward. Then there are the times when I wake up to find surprises clipped to my coffee pot so it's the first thing I see in the morning. Maybe I didn't do anything exceptional to deserve a "reward" per se, but He is showing me that all around I have pleased Him.
 
I guess, we don't live in the world of reward and punishment. We live in the world of disappointment and success.

Edited for spelling....Ack!

spanklette, thats the same way I feel. I couldn't have said it better. There is a reason why I'm with him, and not someone else.



LadyPact -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:03:40 PM)

I agree with the general here.  I punish when I deem necessary and reward when I see fit.  It is dependant upon Me as I wish.  I have always been rather adament about preferring well behaved subs.  It is just My style.  However, in the right mood, I can find the slightest things to punish over.  The same thing goes for rewards.  It really is up to Me, in the end, and how I want a particular scene to be orchastrated.



spanklette -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:13:24 PM)

Thank you. It's not everyone's way, just ours. But, living this 24/7 just doesn't leave the time nor the inclination to be punishing and rewarding every single behavior...at least, for us. I do think, though, that it has made us more mentally and spiritually connected as a couple. A simple "thank you" is all that happens sometimes, but so much more is communicated.



mbes -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:16:13 PM)

He tells me when I get it right, and he reminds me when I forget something. Since it's my goal to please, not doing so is punishment enough, and doing so is reward enough. Anything else is gravy. :)
I do like gravy. [:D]



lonlyrossInNeed -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:18:05 PM)

to me i always like to behave and Obey i dont exspect a reward becouse i know i am saposed to and that is why i dont behave just to get rewarded like some will



stella40 -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:29:21 PM)

You know... I think one day when politicians start passing legislation on BDSM practices and ethics a lot of people are going to be much happier. Hey, why not have a BDSM American Constitution?

First Amendment - The right to place a submissive under consideration.

Second Amendment - The right to collar a submissive.

Third Amendment - The rights of a submissive to impose limits and use safe words...

...and so on, etc, ad nauseum.

Why do people have to always have a 'one size fits all theory'?

Why do people always have to let a general consensus dictate to them what their relationships should be like?

Why can't people actually get to know the person they're with, communicate with them, learn to trust them and trust that they are making their own successful relationship?

Are we really so lacking in imagination?




spanklette -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:36:05 PM)

I'm fairly sure it's not lack of imagination...it's lack of confidence. People want to be part of the norm, even when in a lifestyle that is considered outside of the norm. They want to be accepted and they want someone to tell them how it should be done. There's no real "how it should be done" answer, only experience nad guidance.
 
Once their self-confidence is gained imagination is sure to follow.

spanklette, thanks for this. it's an awesome post :)



spanklette -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 8:45:21 PM)

Why, thank you![:)]



arayofsunshine55 -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 9:02:59 PM)

We don't have a punishment dynamic at all.  We don't do "good" behavior or "bad" behavior.  It's just not how things work here.   He is cruel and lvoing and wonderful and does have a penchant for rewards but that is because he is Pavlov and I'm his bitch.

Master does not enforce rules with me; I simply do what is expected and that is that. He knows that if something is broken, it is because of a serious issue that needs to be discussed immediatly.
 
Now, in regards to misbehaving though, Master does not tolerate disobedience of any kind. I do not like pain, and since disobedience means extreme pain; I avoid it when I can [:)] To date, he has never had to take a whip to me because of disobedience.
 
As for good behavior. Master does not reward for what is expected.
 
I wish you well
 
melissa



MagiksSlave -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/5/2007 10:13:57 PM)

I had a small problem when all Master ever seemed to do was punish me for doing wrong without ever any possative reinforsments for the time I did well (most the time) made me feel like I never did any good and was only a screw up. we had a talk about it and man I love that man because since then he has gone above and beyond to fix it.. its made a huge difference in how I feel about myself as a slave given me such a great amount of confadence that I have become a better slave for it. I dont foult Master for not knowing befor hand for I am his first slave and the fact that he didnt do possative reinforsment for good behavior cant really be seen as a foult within him however the fact the as soon as it was brought to his attention that he did such a full turn around does attest to how wonderfull he is. Some time he rewords me for doing something good by reduseing a punishment if I have one comeing (that is just one example) he also praises me a lot for good work Im not so good at takeing compliments and it makes me blush but also makes me feel really good and has helped a lot with my confedance.
Yes good behavior is expected but I dont think it should be taken for granted and sometimes a slave needs to hear that they are doing good.

yenlui -> RE: Punishment and rewards (4/6/2007 5:17:44 AM)

The biggest "reward" that can be given, is when He tells me He's proud if me. But He does reward me in other ways too, and I really like that. Even if it's expected, it's good to be reminded on how I please Him.
