Play Punishment
Core Dynamics & Roles Psychological
The "consequence" in a BDSM scene, especially in Brat or Discipline dynamics. This is a negotiated, consensual act (like spanking or writing lines) that *both* partners enjoy. It is *not* real-world abuse.
In practice
- Short version
- A consensual, "fun" punishment for a submissive's "bratty" behavior.
- Good to know
- This is a core consent concept. **Must** include a guide: Clearly distinguish "Play Punishment" (a fun, consented-to part of a scene) from real-world abuse. A safeword must *always* stop a play punishment.
