ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross . . .What's with the rash of doms lately telling their slaves to go find good punishment ideas? Lack of imagination? Giving the slaves busy work? Not understanding how to build a good relationship so they hand out punishments like candy? That's not fair - - unless I missed it, no where did she say in her message, that her Dom sent her to find punishments. She said she was looking for ideas to bring to him. This could have been her own initiative. I agree though that "punishment" is much different from training or play. Punishment, in our relationship, is corrective action. It's not fun nor exciting and I certainly don't enjoy it in the least bit, other than the gratefulness I feel that my Master loves me enough to want to discipline me and shape me into His perfect servant (a journey, not a destination). Some have voiced opinions that my current punishment is too harsh and extreme. I think at times that I am getting off easy because the alternative would have been dismissal from His service. However, I have to say in terms of cruelty, my worst punishment would probably make some of you laugh. I once served a Dom whose house I loved to clean. It was my joy to see him come home from work and smile at the atmosphere I'd created. One day when I stepped out of line, he placed my cleaning supplies in the middle of the room and tied me up so that they were just out of reach. He let me stare at them for an hour, unable to reach them to clean. After about an hour, he took out the supplies and began cleaning. He knew it was KILLING me to see him do my work . . . all because I'd misbehaved. I'm sure some would laugh and relax at the break, but it was devastating to me. He then sent me home for the rest of the day. But, as LA mentioned, many would say that being ignored is the worst. I know that being sent home was no fun but hadn't thought about that in quite some time. Until last night when my Master told me that the impending punishment for something I have been struggling with would be that I would not hear his voice for the remainder of the night, should I not comply with his directions. Even the thought of that weighs heavily upon my heart and I find myself desperately trying to figure out a way to comply to avoid such a response. But figure out what you hate most. The thing that you want to avoid at all costs is likely going to be the motivator for you to stay on the straight and narrow. petal............. search her posts..... for learninggirl this is a habit... LA is right on this time !!
