As sirtacit already said, I see that there are some different points of view from different people, so it is a really usefull topic to discuss
I also see that the way punishment is experienced differs for different subs and Doms so it is important to understand eachother well.

So I think that if there is a need to punish a sub in a way that he or she doesn't enjoy, obviously the sub did something to upset his/her Dom(me) and there may have been some miscommunication when discussing what both of you want out of your play.

I am not saying a child should enjoy their punishment when bad, but the first reason for doing bdsm is because you enjoy it, so I prefer punishment to be used in the sense of roleplay, being secretely enjoyed by the sub.

I don't have experience with punishing someone else myself, but I think this answers the question how I would use punishment or how I prefer to be punished.

Anyway it is interesting to see all your thoughts about punishments
