I love pain, so Master knows that punishing me with pain isn't going to work. If I get a little bratty with Him then He knows that I want/need attention and then He'll flog me or give me some kind of pain, because that's the way He is. But if He truly feels that I need to be punished then He'll give me a chore that I absolutely hate or refuse to let me speak, etc. Then it truly is a punishment.
