Alternative forms of discipline- any thoughts?

Hello, my kinky friends,

I was reading a blog recently that discussed alternative discipline methods to spanking, especially when noise had to be considered.  The author mentioned a few implements that are relatively quiet- the cane, the loopy, the tawse, the switch…though in these instances, the recipient of such discipline may not be able to keep from crying out loudly (personally, I cry very loudly when the cane is applied to my bare bottom).  But a few other ideas for quiet discipline were floated out there… corner time, lines, loss of privileges, and capsaicin cream.  This piqued my interest!

Sir and I have tried IcyHot for this purpose.  IcyHot uses menthol to relieve aches and pains.  While other have recommended IcyHot as a quiet form of discipline, I’ve found that all IcyHot does (for me) is leaves my bottom tingling a bit and later, it goes a little numb.  The IcyHot product definitely makes me very aware of my bottom after applied.  However, there is no real stinging sensation, or any type of pain associated with IcyHot (at least, not for me).

But I’ve read capsaicin cream can be a whole other story.

If you aren’t familiar with capsaicin, it is the active component in chili peppers.  My understanding is that capsaicin is responsible for the burning sensation felt in your mouth when you consume a hot pepper.  Imagine having that same burning sensation on your bottom and backs of your thighs without an actual spanking?  I know the head of every spanko in the room just turned…

I must be a glutton for punishment because upon reading about capsaicin cream, I immediately began seeking a suitable product.  While having quiet discipline isn’t really a concern between Sir and I, we are long-distance…being able to apply a cream as discipline at his command is something I thought he might find appealing.  Upon finding something suitable on Amazon and reading the reviews, I emailed Sir and filled him in on my naughty research.  Sir is responsible for my discipline and in charge of making these types of decisions.  I am allowed to float ideas past him, but he makes the ultimate decision.  In this case, he wrote back and said yes… please order the capsaicin cream.

While checking the mail this afternoon, my heart began to pound.  There it was, sitting so innocent like in my mailbox.  My tummy filled with butterflies.  Once in the house, I opened the product.  I read the label closely.  Don’t touch this product with your hands and then touch your face (note to self…use disposable gloves).  And then…like the obedient submissive that I sometimes am… I put the tube of cream away in my bathroom drawer.  I emailed Sir and let him know that the product had arrived.  I requested his permission to experiment with it but was denied.  Sir directed me to wait for him.  He would be in control of when this cream was applied to my bottom. 

Sighs. It’s hard to be a good girl!

I am curious to hear about your experiences with capsaicin cream, or any other alternative forms of discipline.  I am a spanko at heart but am always curious about other forms of discipline too.  Please share your thoughts!  I am particularly interested in loss of privileges.  This sounds hard and I think might serve as a real deterrent, depending on which privilege is taken away for naughty behavior…

I remember Daddy grounding me from my blog for 24 hours once… it was TERRIBLE! Not that a discipline spanking is any easier… XOXO

Keeping it kinky,
