The essay, one of my favorite punishments. So is having someone sit still and be quiet.Originally Posted by nikita
Taking away privileges, for a set period of time, also works well.
A punishment isn't fun nor exciting, and it yet, it shouldn't be abusive either.
For example, having a sub who's afraid of the dark, sit alone in the dark, can be considered a cruel mind fuck. It can trigger responses that neither dom or sub wanted.
Withholding food or water, keeping someone from and/or going to the bathroom -- all of those can be considered over the line punishments.
If any dom or domme feels they must actually punish their submissive, I would ask that they not do so in anger and consider what it is they hope to achieve.
