Discipline is not the same as, nor has the same attitude when implementing as that of a "play session", though some elements may be common to both.

Oh, i wish i'd been active on the boards when this thread initially was posted.
One of the things i've been struggling with lately is what are my needs? Maybe i'll start a new thread about that in a day or two. But in terms of needing punishment--i haven't been "punished" corporally or with any kind of increased restrictions, etc. in a couple years. The most i've gotten have been "looks", "I'm displeased," and a decrease in some of the ways the dynamic functions in terms of His expectations of me. These are all punishment enough, and they are much more *real* to me than a spanking because they are not about what *i* need in order to learn to change but about the way He wants to deal with my behavior. And there have certainly been times when i thought i needed punishment to help keep me motivated or to demonstrate my repentance of errors. While i wouldn't call it a fetish, it did have something to do with my psychological make-up and the way i handle guilt/shame. Bottom line, it felt like something i needed, and so i would punish myself and make myself miserable long after He wanted the issue to be settled.
At this point, however, i can more clearly see that it is not that i need punishment but that i need forgiveness, and the punishment was the way i thought i could earn forgiveness.
Also, i do like that feeling when the physical play really firmly reinforces the dynamic, but i've found that although BDSM is good for that, really any interaction can give that charge if there's enough intensity in it.

Punishments
What kind of place is there in your TPE/IE relationship for punishments such as corporal punishments?
I'm wondering, because so many people seem to need punishments or say you can't do without in a relationship like this. What do you think?
As for us, we started our relationship having – amongst other things- something we call a ' punishment fetisch'. The whole idea about punishing and being punished worked in our relationship to feel the power, to feel under his control. Not only a ' play' or ' fun' thing, but very serious, very real. Still- imho- a fetish.
Nothing wrong with that, by the way. I guess many people in D/s or M/s relationship share this ' fetish'. Although i haven't seen many people calling it a fetish like we do.
Over time, this punishments disappeared. i changed as a slave, things got more internal, in my head. i wanted to obey, more than before (not only in theory, but i felt it more and more). Frank on the other hand grew as an Owner. He says that punishments can give a slave control. Some slaves or subs kind of ' demand' it from their Owners.
Still, i'm far from perfect, i'm not doing everything right. But corporal punishments almost never take place. It just doesn't work like this anymore. For Frank and therefore for me. When i do something wrong, we talk about it, trying to find out what went wrong, what stood in the way. Even if he chooses to cane me after that (which sometimes, he does, ad random i suppose), it's not the kind of thing it used to be, it feels different. At first this confused me a great deal, like i wanted to get back to the start, the way things were first. Which is impossible, besides Frank does not desire this, nor would it work.
my point is: punishments are not the only way to control someone or to feel controlled (because that need is still there). In fact, sometimes punishments do not work at all in an IE/TPE situation. At least, that's our experience.
- i realize you could say that every human interaction is full of praise and punishment in a behavioristic kind of way, but i'm talking the more explicit bdsm-kind-of punishments here-
i'm very interested in the experiences and views of other couples.
