What should a subs training be like?

[_ID_]

i have received more punishment than i would would have liked.

This part of your post jumped out at me. I had to punish it for doing so, and it behaved later.

Seriously though, you must also remember that a Dominant may want to "punish" you for no reason at all. Finding a reason just makes it that much more fun.

I want to also underscore what Oz and lucy said. Your training is individual to you. What one person may find difficult, another might find very easy. So trust in your Dominant to know where you are, and how you are doing. That is a sign that he's paying attention to how you are handling his torment (not all Doms are so attentive). Trust in his guidance, and let your submission flow from you to him.
