Domspeak Forums Discussions Lobby Restrained during discipline?

Thinking about best positions for CP got me thinking about this. Do you prefer to be restrained during discipline or is holding the position and suffering to please a Mistress part and parcel of your submission?

I am 100% the former. I guess perhaps I am more of a bondage bottom/sensation player and not truly submissive in the usual way. The idea of being helpless and being "forced" to endure whatever the Mistress chooses is central to BDSM play for me.
To me it's all about the power exchange and being under the control of the Mistress. Punishments or being forced to perform degrading acts while I am securely restrained and helpless serve as a demonstration of that control. Bondage itself (the more elaborate, strict and layered the better) acts as constant reminder of the power dynamic.

You often read about subs wanted to serve a Domme and suffer for her. I'm wondering how usual my different desires are?

Hi Furfan, I confess I like it both ways. I won’t reiterate what you said about restraints and discipline because you hit it on the head. But I’ve also come to really love over the lap spanking that goes on for an hour, with my hard erection clamped between her thighs. Talk about a position that feels so right, in more ways than one.

I do prefer to be retrained during discipline. Where I differ from you is that I am not into elaborate bondage. Simple basic restraint that firmly keeps me in place is all that is needed. When I was younger I would sometimes preface that with a hard OTK hairbrush spanking but I have gotten away from that.

It is the same for me. Heavy restraints and intense corporal go hand in hand. It allows my mind to surrender and do nothing but soak up the sensations.

I can go either way. I can be restrained and spanked, or I can be told to just stay in a position and spanked.

Probably being restrained is easier.
