Colin and I went to the store the other day and got a journal/notebook thing that we decided would be beneficial for DD/Ds and for getting us back on track.
We sat down together and wrote a list of rules, a list of consequences, a list of rewards, and a list of chores. He had to leave for a bit, and told me when he was gone he wanted me to write a detailed chore calendar as well as ranking the punishments we listed earlier, in a list from most to least effective.
Doing that stuff instantly put me in such a submissive mind set, and even though it's something pretty little, I thought it was a great step in the right direction.
I wrote up both things he asked, and was really anxious to show him when he got home. Before I showed him, he said he was going to rank the punishments as well, so that we could see if we were on the same page when it came to effectiveness of punishments.
We were both pretty shocked when we read our lists to each other, because they weren't as similar as we thought they would be.
I thought I'd share our lists here, just because I thought it was so interesting.
*Now keep in mind, just because a punishment is at the bottom of the list (least effective) it doesn't mean I don't find it effective. I still think the ones at the bottom work very well, just not as well as the ones towards the top.*
Kenzie's List:
1.) Lecturing
2.) Spanking
3.) Essay/Apology letter
4.) Sent to bedroom
5.) Loss of privileges
6.) Early bedtime
7.) Corner time
8.) Kneeling
9.) Capcaisin cream
10.) Butt plug
11.) Soap/hot sauce
12.) Nipple clamps

We started off on the same page, but then didn't have many similarities. I don't know why exactly, but I just found it really interesting. We haven't done any submissive exercises in a while, and I think this was perfect for us. I have to say, I recommend it to anyone looking for these sorts of exercises. We were able to learn some new things about each other, have some very good conversations about the outcome, and just get some really good insight into what each of us thinks about the effectiveness of our list of punishments and consequences.
If anyone has any other submissive type exercises like this one, we'd love to hear about them. It really helped us both to feel better in our roles and I'm so happy he came up with the idea for us to do this - so I'd love to hear any other ideas you guys have! :)
I know he's got me. ;) And I love him like crazy for it! |
Love the pix. Nothing to offer on the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunny Girl, glad you liked the pictures. :)
DeleteI may have to try this with Steve. I'm curious to see what his answers would be. I'll have to think about what mine would be.
ReplyDeleteIf you two try it, let me know how it turns out! It was a fun exercise for us. :)
DeleteGreat post , it's always interesting to see how close the minds are :) ... I love when we are on the same page , it looks like your on the same page as well. I have a journal I keep and write in daily I don't keep anything but my thoughts in it ,D reads it nightly. We have quiet time every night before going to bed , it's our time to refocus and regroup from the day. It's now my favorite time of day , kneeling naked before him , he reads my journal we talk , we shut the world out only focus on us . :) ~ s
ReplyDeleteAw sounds like a great way to end the night! Just the two of you, focusing on each other. I love it. :)
DeleteHey Kenzie...I think that is a wonderful exercise to let your HoH see what is more effective...I can't think of anything to add.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the lovely pic!
Blessings...

Thanks so much Cat! It was pretty helpful for us, so I'm glad we did it. :)
DeleteI really like writing exercises in DD! I have to say, your list of punishments is intimidating. I have no idea what capcaisin cream is and I dread to think what is involved with the "soap/hot sauce" punishment. Perhaps my husband should expand his horizons...I won't show him your list, though ;)
ReplyDeleteAutumn, do yourself a favor and do NOT look up cap cream.. especially if there's a chance he'll find out about it, lol. It's like a spanking but without the actual act of spanking. It's a muscle cream and when put on the butt, it does not feel good! Soap is for cursing.. in the mouth. Same with hot sauce. Not ones we use often, thankfully!

Hi Kenzie, sorry I am late to the party. What a great exercise to do togethet ad well as a good way to reinforce your roles. It's interesting getting your partners perspective and seeing how close you are.
