*asking permission to give a sub's point of view*

Whenever Sir deems that I need a stern punishment (as one that he refers to as a "pain slut"), he gives me the silent treatment. Which means that he does not acknowledge my presence whatsoever for a set amount of time he has determined to fit the infraction. For me, personally, this is the absolute most difficult punishment to endure.

If your sub thrives on attention, this punishment will definately stay in the back of their mind for a very long time.

So not a Domme here either, but what pixie said- it has to be the absolute worst punishment I could imagine! The threat of that would deter me each and every time, no matter what!

~shudders~ Even the thought...just awful!

Another subs 2 cents worth if I may:

I agree with pixie and tessa. That is the absolute worst, and in the beginning of my training Master was forced to use it a time or two. We first met in a chatroom and hung out there often, so he would come in and politely greet me and then totally ignore me until it was my bedtime when he would say goodnight. I cried myself to sleep many the nights. The problem with this discipline (and another if you are RL, which is to chain the sub to the foot of the bed and make her sleep on the floor) is that as far as my Master is concerned, he was being punished as well because he was being deprived of my company which he actually does enjoy. Still it was very effective!
Another that I truly learned to dispise is a writing task. I don't mean having to write "I was a bad sub and disappointed Master" a gazillion times. He would give me actually research assignments complete with bibliography and footnotes. Gargh! Awful. Hope this helps. "Peace" ~blizz~

OK... adding my 2 cents as well...

This type of punishment has been discussed in another thread here previously. (I just can't find the thread! grrrrr) This is also a punishment that TDS and i have discussed as being effective on me, since i too am a pain slut.

I will add though, that depending on the person, this type of punishment could have a negative effect and not the positive that is being sought. i know that if that type of punishment ever happened, how it was shared, how it happened, what caused it, how long it lasted, etc. would all come into play on my reaction to it... If not done correctly it would trigger an anger response in me that would ultimately destroy the relationship.

So... while that may be effective for some... i personally feel it needs to be used with EXTREME caution!

Also, while searching for the above mentioned thread i ran across a few another which addresses this issue that i thought might be helpful. Here is the link:
