This is the major difference between our life now and pre-DD/Taken In Hand. This is what truly changes my behavior. The spankings serve to remind me that he is really serious about certain rules, so they aid a bit. And I am not too fond of the level of pain that those punishment spankings get to, though we do some purely connective and purely erotic spanking as well. The punitive ones are of a different caliber and they are a deterrent for me. I like the stinging bottom, I would just rather get it from a less severe spanking, LOL.
