| Punishment / Dicipline |
 |
| Punishment and discipline are, like everything, an important component to a D/s relationship. They allow for both learning and growth from one's mistakes. I feel they also renew the reality of each person's role in the relationship. Believe it or not, there is a difference between punishment and discipline. |
| Punishment is where the submissive or slave plainly gets punished for doing wrong. Like being whipped, she gets no further knowledge from the whipping, but it does place a reminder in her head for the next time she gets out of line or forgets a given task. It leaves a mark (physical or mental ...lol) for the submissive or slave to remember. |
| Dicipline, on the other hand (like my pun) is a learning punishment, somthing that teaches while at the same time leaves the same effect or reminder as punishment. It allows for growth in knowledge. For example: writing an essay on somthing related to the "violation", in a set time frame and length - thus implanting the objective or that mental mark, as well as opening the doors for further knowledge. |
| Indeed, dicipline would seem the best thing to do, however, it is not necessary, appropriate or always needed for the "violation". Perhaps it is a repeated disobedience or "violation". |
| I know violation isn't the best word, but it's all I could come up with for what I am trying to say : ) |

| Never punish out of anger, for no reason, or out of personal frustrations from an uncontrolable situation. Always calm down before administering punishment |
