I just wanted to make a small comment about using your absence to punish a slave. This I cannot really understand. Surely you have a slave because you enjoy being with them, you enjoy how they make you feel, simply enjoy their presence. Why would you want to absent yourself from those feelings. Surely you are simply punishing yourself. And if you do not feel that way about your slave then why the hell are you with her.

I had a sub once who would be in tears after only a few minutes in the corner, facing the wall but not touching it, even if I was in the room with her. Half an hour was plenty and I was still there to enjoy her.

It's just something I don't understand anyone wanting to do on or offline for that matter.
