Punish when upset

[Talia]

Ah, but isn't ignoring your submissive, or showing how upset you are because you're so mad, just as "dangerous" emotionally to your submissve?

In fact, I think many submissives would far prefer physical punishment to emotional punishment. I think emotional punishment is actually the cruelest cut of all.

So if I'm mad, I'll galdly count to ten and apply my hand or paddle to her bottom so we can set the infraction aside and move on.

Ozzy, I'm glad you addressed this form of punishment. "Ignoring" is probably the worst and really likely to serve the opposite of the intended out come. Dom of mine tried that once....worked differently than he intended. This proceeded to anger me rather punish me. Frankly, I feel, this isn't punishment at all but rather abusive on the emotional part.

So imagine if it occurs in a fit of pique.
