This is a copy of a note I wrote to a spanker who I have trying to get to really punish me.

I found a good discussion about the difference in discipline and punishment. Discipline is what you do every time I see you, the regular spankings. Punishment is what is given for breaking a rule. Punishment is usually harder than discipline and is a bad thing and totally separate from discipline which is a good thing.
I desire both The punishment is not intended to be pleasurable like the discipline. I need both, that is why I like to have rules that I can be specifically be punished for breaking and be disciplined as a matter of course just to keep me on the right track.
The following was written by a fem dom. but can be applied to our situation.
"Contrary, the submissive husband is regularly disciplined, whether he has violated any rules or not. He is discipline because he is being trained by his Dominant Wife. A D&S activity like a whipping or a spanking can be either a discipline or a punishment. But the purpose and the severity will vary depending if it is for training or for rebuke. A punishment would be more severe than a discipline. '
She further writes:
''Punishment is a bad thing and is not intended to be submissively fulfilling. It is intended to punish wrong doings in a manner so that the wrong doings do not happen again. A punishment is also an act of love but its purpose is to rebuke and reprimand. The terms discipline and punishment are easily intermingled and sometimes we refer to a punishment as discipline and vice versa. However, the terminology is not as important as the purpose of the correction. If it is to train, guide and alter a male's behavior and attitude, then it is Discipline. If it is to reprove, penalize and chastise a male for disobedience, then it is Punishment.''
The above was written by Mistress Else but applies very well to our situation.
I always thought of punishment as what you gave after I ha lost any sexual desire and discipline as what I received before, but I think now you can apply either at either time.
You now have wanting to make the trip.
Thank You Very Much for Putting So Much Thought into This:
