SRR – Differentiating Between Punishment and Discipline 19 comments

The following post is for the spanking round table discussion, and is written to help people differentiate between discipline and punishment in a power exchange relationship. Those who are new to BDSM or those who have engaged in kink but wish to move into a power exchange or domestic discipline relationship may often get hung up on when they are trying to figure out rules, routines, punishment, and fun BDSM play. I’m going to start with a basic definition for discipline, punishment and funishment. The three are different in many ways. but they are the same as well, because **All three things must be agreed on and must be based on consent by BOTH partners without coercion.** Discipline is the way in which my home is run and the structure that is at the base of my relationships within my BDSM kink family. The rules and routines vary quite a bit […]


G is for Domestic Discipline Guide #SpankA2Z 4 comments

G is for Domestic Discipline Guide #SpankA2Z Today the G for Guide is referring to my book Taken in Hand: A Guide to Domestic Discipline, Power Exchange, and Related BDSM Topics. It is a guide to help those seeking to establish a domestic discipline relationship that includes spanking and the various D/s relationships that are part of BDSM.

Jolynn Raymond has written a book that shares the details of her own long […]

Creating Balance and Love in Your Domestic Discipline Relationship 7 comments

The people who are involved in domestic discipline and power exchange relationships will often tell those who question their lifestyle choice that the addition of structure and discipline has brought them much closer. While there will always be naysayers and those who remain skeptical, those of us who live in these types of relationships will undoubtedly insist that it’s true. The act of giving guidance, creating structure, holding someone accountable, seeing to their every need including the need for discipline, creates a special bond. There are no long periods of resentment, unresolved anger, or holding on to things that fester and gnaw at a relationship. Issues arise, they are handled in a way that both people find not only acceptable, but desirable, and the problem is laid to rest. Do DD couples argue? Actually no, my wife and I don’t. I give her a stern talking to in conjunction with any […]
