    Punishment and discipline

    What is the difference between Discipline and Punishment?

    "Men had either been afraid of her, or had thought her so strong that she didn't need their consideration. He hadn't been afraid, and had given her the feeling of constancy she needed. While he, the orphan, found in her many women in one: mother sister lover sibyl friend. When he thought himself crazy she was the one who believed in his visions." - Salman Rushdie, the Satanic Verses

    Discipline is about dictating, monitoring and correcting behavior.

    Punishment is about correcting misbehavior.

    My 2 cents...

    Brilliantly concise and to the point.

    Wow. Two cents can sure be a small fortune at times.

    Excellent question, d, and it's a difference all Doms should know!

    One good definition of punishment I read on here is that it should be something given reluctantly that neither partner relishes, so it's genuinely given to change unacceptable behaviour. If the sub enjoys it and behaves so she gets it, if the Dom relishes giving it - it's lots of things but that's not actually punishment.

    I am currently renegotiating this very concept with my Master as I've realised it's not helpful to me to think of what he does to me as 'punishment' when it's actually a means for me to submit profoundly to him - a behaviour he definitely does not want to punish out of me!

    According to Merriam-Webster, discipline is punishment. Big help there! *lol*

    Soaul hit the nail on the head. Discipline is training. Punishment is a means employed to facilitate training when other methods have failed to achieve the desired result.
    Once you put your hand in the flame,
    You can never be the same.
    There's a certain satisfaction
    In a little bit of pain.
    I can see you understand.
    I can tell that you're the same.
    If you're afraid, well, rise above.
    I only hurt the ones I love.

    Adding my two cents, discipline is for teaching the behavior you want to see performed, ie holding bottom out correctly for spanks or licking properly one's pussy (I'm a Domme). Punishment is for behavior that is not tolerable, ie pouting or swearing.
    Playing is all other times

    My opinion......

    Discipline comes from within. It is you developing control and other things you and your Master seek for you. Discipline feels good and satisfying.

    Punishment comes from another when your own self discipline fails. It feels bad, physically and/ or emotionally.

    i know they aren't the dictionary defenitions, but it's the way i view the words.
