30 Days of Submission- Days 8 & 9
Note- I decided to address both these prompts in one post as they are a bit repetitive of Day 7, which asked about discipline.
Prompt 8: Is spanking or corporal punishment a part of your submission? Why or why not?
Absolutely! My husband has become a firm believer in administering spankings when I displease him or disobey him, as he sees how quickly both my behavior and attitude improve. While it has taken awhile to get to this point, he very rarely finds it necessary to discipline me anymore as I have made a lot of changes. However, he does make use of a weekly maintenance spanking to ensure good behavior throughout the week.
Prompt 9: Do you accept and/or expect structure, rules and limits as a part of your submission? How do you feel about them?
Yes, I do expect (and readily accept) structure, rules, and limits as part of my submission. I NEED this….I crave it, I desire it from my husband. As many of you know, I suffered a tough year in terms of losses…I lost my mother, my younger brother, and my 14-year-old fur baby all in an eight-month period. Prior to these losses, I was a hugely motivated individual. I was an early riser who loved getting stuff done. Got a project? I was on it! However; trapped in the clutches of depression and grief, trying to find my way back out of the dark hole I was drowning in took a lot out of me. It changed me. Now, I find it difficult to structure out my own time and complete tasks without any motivation….and, upon finding Domestic Discipline…my husband is the one who gives me that motivation now.
One of the ways he helps to structure my day is that the night before he will ask me what needs to be done that week…cleaning projects, yard work, errands, etc. Then, he makes use of the mobile app Wunderlist to assign me tasks each day, which I must have completed and checked off the list prior to his return from work that evening. I find that having a list, and being able to check off those tasks when completed, is very motivating and rewarding. And, if I have been a really good girl…completed all of my tasks as well as maintained a submissive attitude toward Daddy all day, I am learning that Daddy much prefers to give out rewards, instead of punishments. These “rewards” are typically sexual in nature…he sure speaks my love language!
As always, thank you for stopping by!
Happy writing 🙂

I noticed in the top picture, the woman is holding a camera shutter release bulb in her right hand.
That’s the key to successful D/s: the NEED on both sides for rules, structure, discipline and rewards. The Dom can’t half-ass the effort and expect the sub to be motivated.

Sorry to hear of your losses, but heartened by the fact you are finding recovery through the application of your new D/s life. I too like the rules and fixed points of reference to help make sense of habits and behaviours – otherwise it can feel like playing tennis without a net.

The way you are using D/s to structure your weekly tasks sounds wonderful. Speaking as someone who wants to do everything, all the time, and can find that I run around getting nothing done if I’m not careful, I absolutely love the notion of some kind of weekly tick list. I need that feeling of my activities being accountable to someone other than me—and I rather like the sound of rewards for my hard work. Hmm, food for thought.

Love the Wunderlist tip. Thanks! I lost my dad this year, and grief has been pretty all-consuming. Since I’m a procrastinator by nature, which annoys my husband to no end, the app might be of help!
