More About Discipline
Although punishment often goes hand in hand with discipline, it is not the only aspect of it. For example, when a submissive does something in such a way that it does not please a dominant, the submissive will usually need to be disciplined. This usually involves the dominant explaining what they disliked as well as teaching the submissive how to do it properly. In some cases, a punishment may also be used to help a submissive learn a particular lesson better. However, the punishment should always be related to the infraction. For example, a proper punishment for speaking out of turn may be forbidding speaking or enforcing silence with a gag for a certain amount of time.
