Hello Horny Readers!
Some would argue that the world has become a much harder place than in generations past, that “those were simpler times”. Obviously women, people of color, folks on the LGBT spectrum, and others who are either now or were then considered “outside of the norm” would likely disagree, and I include myself among that number. In at least one way, however, it’s true: general ideas about physical discipline have definitely softened.
These days, you’d be less likely to find someone who was broken of a nail biting habit through the application of hot sauce to their ragged nail beds, or who paid for an uttered curse with a mouthful of soap, but it was very common in generations past, and considered reasonable and effective, not abuse. What about the old practice of wearing several rubber bands around ones’ wrist, to be snapped whenever an errant thought or craving to be suppressed became intrusive? Certainly spanking is a less common means of punishment in today’s society than during my parents’ upbringing.
I’m not going to posit an opinion about physical discipline in terms of the rearing of offspring, since this is not the appropriate venue for such a conversation. But I’m a firm believer in physical discipline as a useful tool for training the impressionable charges over whom I take control in the world of Femdom D/s play.
Of course, many in our community are familiar with the acronym BDSM, commonly expanded to Bondage, Discipline (or Domination), Sadism (or submission), and Masochism. This can refer to a particular lifestyle which includes the commonly conjured images of a dungeon presided over by a leather-clad Mistress with a whip, chains and different tools of the trade all around, and a naked, collared submissive on his knees, but it doesn’t necessarily have to include all or even any of those things. The longer I have been a Femdom Mistress, both in my personal sex life and on the phone, the more I’ve learned that elements of one fetish can almost always be made useful in the facilitation of another, and this is especially true with the sadomasochism aspect of BDSM. Though most of us know that the infliction of psychological pain through verbal humiliation could easily be included in this equation, I intend to restrict myself in this series to the exploration of physical pain and discomfort as a training tool in my play.
I hope you’ll join me!
