Punishments are used to teach a submissive or bottom about behaviours that are displeasing to their dominant or infractions they do. This way one rules are broken the submissive knows their will always be a consequence and hence their behaviour should change to reflect their dominant. All punishments should be negotiated when forming a dynamic and renegotiated as it strengthens and grows
All punishments should reflect the infraction the submissive or bottom has made as some will be by accident and others on purpose
