What is BDSM punishment?
BDSM punishment is a sanction against a specific behavior that is considered inappropriate by an authority figure or institution. The term punishment exists in the field of jurisprudence and theology, and especially in educational sciences.
And of course in BDSM, punishment is a key element here, and are used by one or more players to punish down-players for misconduct, underperformance, or simply for fun. Above all, however, they serve to enforce the power imbalance .
What types of BDSM punishment are there?
When it comes to punishment, there are no limits to the imagination. There are physical, degrading , psychological punishments as well as classic punishments in the form of writing sentences or other tasks that the punished person has to do. We have listed some classic examples for you here.
Spanking
whether crop , paddle , flogger or whip – with the right equipment and intensity, the pleasurable strokes quickly become punishment.
Bastinade
The bastinade involves hitting the bare sole of the foot with a stick . This technique was already used for punishment and torture 3000 years ago, as the nerves in the soles of the feet are extremely sensitive. Depending on the intensity, the punished person gets something out of it with every step, even days after the bastinado.
Tickle torture
Tickle torture was used as a tool in interrogation as early as the Middle Ages. What sounds nice and harmless can be very intense. Being pushed to the brink of exhaustion, including tears and a lack of oxygen , when you are completely unable to move is very exhausting and anything but pleasant in the long run.
Figging
In figging, a ginger root is peeled, carved into shape and then inserted into a body opening, usually anally. This form of punishment originated in the Far East and was used there more than a century ago. The essential oils of the ginger cause painful burning but are not dangerous for the organism and therefore one of the safest types of so – called tunnel games . A special ginger spray is a bit gentler, but no less intenseapplied to the mucous membranes vaginally, anally or orally and provides the desired burning effect there.
Electrostimulation
Today’s BDSMers use toys with e-stimulation to punish them in a more modern way. Harmless but variable intensity electrical impulses race through the nerve tracts, skillfully processed in plugs , dildos or nipple clamps.
Anal plugs and love balls
Wearing an anal plug for a fixed period of time is also suitable as a punitive element – and also trains the bottom for anal games. This punishment can be used particularly meanly for activities that are carried out while sitting, such as in the office or when visiting a restaurant. Love balls , on the other hand, are more suitable for people with a vagina to use for mobile activities, such as going for walks. Optionally, such toys are now also often available with a radio-controlled remote control.
Rimming
Rimming is originally a medieval punishment in which the punished person must stimulate and penetrate the anus of the dominant person with his or her tongue as a sign of his or her submission.
Ignore
Also popular, but to be used with caution is to ignore the sub for a while, corner them, or have them stay in an awkward pose if they misbehave. Sounds harmless, but even twenty minutes can be quite long. Ignorance as a punishment is often used to bring Brats back to their senses.
Forniphilia
Immobilization is often a component of punishments. The Forniphilia is a somewhat special type of fixation. Here Sub is degraded to an object and has to remain in an uncomfortable position as a piece of furniture, for example. Footstools, tables, candle holders and clothes stands are possible. The associated ignorance towards the or sub increases the intensity of the punishment. Or when was the last time you talked to your coffee table?
In addition, there are countless little mean things, such as ice cube treatment, orgasm bans, having to do housework naked or in lingerie, the ban on underwear in everyday life, or, or, or…
What do I have to consider when punishing in BDSM?
Is the BDSM Panishment safe?
As always in BDSM: Safety first! Establish a safe word where the dom doesn’t proceed and extricates the sub from the situation. Talk beforehand about your borders, limits and what you can imagine. Have safety tools, such as scissors, available if the punishment involves bondage . Because even with penalties, work may only be done within the framework of consensus .
Is everything okay with you?
BDSM punishments should only take place when everything is fine on a personal level. If, for example, there is an unresolved conflict between the players, you run the risk of being too much guided by negative emotions when punishing yourself. But that has nothing to do with BDSM or a sense of responsibility. In return, the person receiving the punishment should also be in a good frame of mind. If for some reason the nerves are already thin or the psyche is battered, humiliating punishment is certainly not a good idea.
Want a change?
Anyone who knows exactly what is in store for him or her subconsciously calculates penalties in order to get the longed-for spanking session. If BDSM punishment is varied and has a surprising character, this is less likely to be the case. So vary your punishments, change them up a bit and avoid always having the same punishment ready.
