As a chastiser, how do you act towards the punished?

As a chastiser, how do you act towards the punished during her/his punishment?

Do you remain silent all the time? Do you mock her/his tears and pleas for mercy? Do you exhort the punished to accept the deserved sufferings, consequence of her/his bad behavior? Do you claim to be very sorry, but you're forced to inflict that punishment only for her/his own good? Or how else do you act?

It depends on their personality and behavior. I could go either way.

For some I am vocal and emotional, for others I am impersonal and objective.

Well Susie, would you give some examples?

Please forgive my intrusion since I'm coming at as the chastised. It all depends on who one is as punisher. A slaves treatment will be somewhat different than a "child". I respond best to firm lecture while receiving. One thing that I feel is important in and healthy Dom/sub setting is for sub to realize they are being punished and the Dom is in full control, if you wanted to avoid chastisement you should have had different behaviour. Even though I come at this from parent child setting I can see how belittling may be very warranted by a very cocky attitude and for slaves may well be expected. Communication as always is so important. In general I feel ideally be consistent, be firm, make sure the punished gets everything that is coming to them and if they try to get out of it increase the punishment a Dom should be in charge, and the sub needs to accept that and receive the chastisement as best they can. Take this as you will, but it's one sub boys view.
