Reward & Punishment || Assignment 1
Name: Ryan Sterling Rose: Red Teacher: dommegracelynnamaro
It is important to reward a submissive in order to encourage positive behavioral traits and reinforce learning. By rewarding a submissive a Dominant is showing that they are pleased that the submissive has completed a specific behavior or action. The reward the submissive is given shows them that they have done something right, and more importantly is something that is earned by them. This is vital as it gives the submissive a feeling of satisfaction and gratification not only for accomplishing what they needed to in order to earn the reward but also for pleasing their Dominant. It also presents the submissive with something they enjoy, giving them positive feelings to correlate with the behavior or action that the reward is for. This thus shows acknowledgement by the Dominant of what the submissive has done, and enforces it with positive feelings to promote the behavior to continue.
Examples of rewards I have given include the following:
Cuddling and allowing them to touch me. I'm very strict about being touched without permission, it's a privilege that needs to be earned with me.
Being allowed to sleep in my bed, otherwise I'll have them sleep on the couch or the floor given how well they do.
Allowing the submissive to orgasm or give them extra orgasms during a period or orgasm denial or control.
Allowing them to play video games or watch movies with me at the end of the day.
Going for a run together or working out for the fitness enthusiast.
Giving the submissive food they enjoy, such as strawberries.
This rarely happens, though once I allowed the submissive to pick their own reward.
2. Tell me in no less than 5 sentences the importance of punishing your submissive and give me at least 4 examples of punishments that you have given.
Punishing a submissive is just as important as rewarding them. The first reason for this being that it aptly discourages bad behavior by providing something negative that the submissive will not enjoy. It also shows consistency and firmness on the Dominant’s part, as they are able to identify when a submissive has presented with bad behavior and follow through with appropriate correction. Lack of consistency and punishment, otherwise, being too “soft” can confuse a submissive and in turn result in them acting out in order to gain attention and force a firmer hand. In this case, it is necessary to act accordingly and punish the submissive as necessary so that they understand in no uncertain terms where they went wrong and why the behavior is unacceptable. In this way, like a reward, the punishment also serves as a learning tool by associating bad behaviors with negative feelings, thus discouraging the submissive from performing those behaviors again.
Examples of punishments I have given include the following:
Impact by spanking or paddling for a variety for reasons, most often for moving when instructed not to.
Application of a zipper line made of clothespins connected by a line and weighted by a book that the submissive needed to hold up with their nose. Done for a switch-wide punishment.
Cut with knife during an exam as a punishment for moving when instructed not to.
Kneeling against a wall without making any noise or movement, done as a maintenance punishment.
Overstimulation in public via vibrating anal plug as punishment for touching me without permission.
