Take whatever Oz said and "ditto" it for me.

There are, of course, light and playful "punishments" for being spirited or sassy, and that is up t each couple to decide. Preferences and to each his own so on and yadda yadda. Just as far as I'm concerned, my least favorite punishment is to be ignored or denied - even being spanked is having attention paid to me so not much of a deterrant there.

As for Hard Limits? Absolute NO as far as crossing those boundaries. They're Hard Limits for a reason, and to violate them takes a punishment over the abuse border, IMO.
