Pain, Pain or Pain?

What are the differences between correction, discipline and punishment? Severity. Correction is a nudge to remind the submissive of a small error made or a first time error – not knowing what he didn’t know. Training consists of lots of these. They may come in the form of pleasure denial (orgasm denial – certainly a form of pain for the submissive) or denial of some previously granted privilege (no touching of Mistress for a period of time). The lesson is learned.

Discipline is yet another level. The submissive was given clear instructions and a) didn’t listen, b) didn’t understand, c) ignored the request. In each of these actions there are varying levels of pain given … a slap, a spank, a kick, a whip … a behavior corrected.

Punishment … now that is something this Mistress hopes She never has to administer … because that *really* hurts. This is a level of pain that is NOT pleasurable to ensure that the behavior never happens again. Refusal of Mistress’ request? Oh, boy. you don’t want to go there. Out come the canes … damn.

The worst of all, however, is disrespect. Because once that happens, the submissive is dismissed – forever. Probably the worst pain of all for everyone.
