In: Punishment, Rules

By late yesterday afternoon, I was questioning our new punishment procedures. We never really worked out a safe way to do a public spanking. When Lion interrupted me while we were heading to the store, he wanted on the spot punishment. It didn’t seem to matter that I was uncomfortable administering that punishment in a grocery store bathroom. He said it would be more effective for him if he received punishment immediately. I know the most immediate way to stop me from punishing him immediately is to make me feel uncomfortable. Make me hate an idea and it will be the last thing I want to do. I was already not much of a fan of public punishment. Now I am even less of a fan.

Another area I see as borderline ridiculous is Lion’s standing when I enter a room or stand. I know it was my idea. I know it’s good manners. It’s just not necessarily blue collar manners. You know the dating website for farmers that says something like “city folk just don’t get it”? Well, this country folk don’t get it when it comes to those kind of manners. I don’t know which fork to use. I say please and thank you, but I don’t keep my elbows off the table and I don’t know what to do with silverware after a meal to tell the waiter I’m done. I don’t mind when a waiter says, “How are you guys tonight?” It drives Lion crazy. We’re not guys. One of us is a guy. One is a lady/gal/woman. “Folks” doesn’t seem to bother him. Standing for me seems very artificial. Boarding school Lion was taught those kind of manners from a young age. His father was a professional. Mine was not. His father drank martinis. Mine drank beer. We are from different sides of the tracks.

For now, we’ll continue the standing rule. The truth is, all rules seem somewhat ridiculous to me when they start. I have to convince myself that it’s OK to punish Lion for what seems like a made up thing. Of course, all rules are made up. Some are ridiculous. Who cares if I bring a rabbit to church? (I made that up but it seems like it’s probably one of those weird laws you hear about.) So I guess it’s not all that strange that I think our rules are ridiculous.

I’m not sure about the public punishment. If we can come up with a way that makes both of us comfortable we’ll do it. I know Lion’s butt won’t be comfortable, but you know what I mean.

kitchen spanking paddle
This is the small paddle we have had hanging from a refrigerator magnet for years. It’s been gathering dust until the other day. Now it has administered three spankings just this weekend. Lion says that this paddle hurts more than our others. It hurts when he sits down.

My new rules seem to be tripping Lion up. My kitchen paddle was dusty from disuse. No more. In the past two days alone, Lion has been whomped at least three times in the kitchen. He’s also been whomped in the bedroom. All because he can’t remember to thank me for swats or forgets to stand when I stand. Last night he raced back down the hall because he had forgotten to thank me. Whew! That was a close one. But this morning, after he failed to stand when I stood, he did forget to thank me for the swats. I added a penny to his bank.

While I have been punishing more frequently on the spot, it is sometimes necessary to punish him after the fact. I don’t even remember what he did last night, but we were out and although I had my away-paddle with me, there was no place safe to use it. Luckily (Lion would use a different adverb) I had two pennies with me. Throughout the night I reminded Lion of the two pennies. We don’t have a set number of swats for the pennies. They just serve to remind me of an infraction. I even told him the pennies might translate to the tiny dollhouse clothespins on the head of his cock or some menthol rub on his balls. The pennies are not necessarily just for swats. I could even use them for diaper wear; anything I want.

This morning, after I whomped him for not standing when I did, Lion asked if he could go to his office to check on his website. That got me thinking (Lion just had a mini heart attack – not another rule!), maybe he should ask to be excused when he gets up from the table or wants to leave the room. Since we seem to be working on manners, doesn’t that follow suit? [Lion — I have to agree it does.]  However, since he can’t seem to follow the other new rules, maybe I should wait to add to his misery. Perhaps I’ll issue a release date for the new rule. You know, like a law that goes into effect on such and such a date. That would be very legislative of me. So this new rule, Lion must ask for permission to leave the room or get up from the table, will take effect on May 1. He’ll have plenty of time to adjust. Of course, he can start obeying the law earlier so he gets used to it, but I won’t punish him for not obeying until after May 1. [Lion — This would work in public too, since just saying “Excuse me.” won’t raise any eyebrows.]

Lion wanted rules, 2.0 is happy to oblige. Be careful what you wish for, my pet.

chastity device key necklace
This is my new necklace with the “key” to Lion’s chastity device.

About a week ago my new key arrived. Lion had an additional key made that had been polished so I can wear it on a necklace. Mature Metal needed my permission, of course. There’s no telling how many caged males try to get an extra key. (Not many, I assume.) I bought a leather cord and last night we got a smaller ring than the one that came with the key to connect it. I thought the leather cord was very fitting given Lion’s years in the leather community. Today I’m wearing the “pendant of power”. That’s what I’ve decided I’ll tell people if they ask what it is. It does, after all, represent the power I have over Lion’s weenie.

Last night I also decided on the second rule of my tax day resolutions. Lion has to thank me after I punish him. If I zap him with the shock collar because he’s done something wrong, he has to thank me. If I zap him for the heck of it, he doesn’t. Whenever he receives punishment swats, he must thank me. And now I’m thinking he should even thank me when I point out an infraction if I don’t punish him at that time. I am going out of my way to punish him for doing something wrong. If he does nothing wrong then I don’t have to punish him and he doesn’t have to thank me. Sometimes he does thank me, but it’s never been a rule. And now it is.

Lion is so horny now that he can’t tell how many times I’ve edged him. Last night I even gave him a little bit more time between and he still said everything was a blur. We played the clothespin game again, where every close call was followed by the removal of one or more clothespins. And then, of course, I kept going even after the clothespins were all gone. He’s well past his scheduled date. He made another comment last night about having only two orgasms for April. We’ll see, Lion. 2.0 operates on her own schedule.

I have one more day to figure out my tax day resolutions. True, it’s self-imposed and I can go past the date with no repercussions, but I’d like to at least have some sort of rules in place. I did come up with one rule yesterday. I have to hammer out the details though. The general idea is that Lion should stand when I enter the room. We’re thinking it’s just good manners. I can’t expect him to follow it until I give him specifics. But I’m hung up on coming up with another rule by my deadline.

I was reviewing the rules that Lion has to follow at this point. I think he has more rules than he realizes:

Each work morning he has to email me before noon. I don’t think he’s ever missed, although he has come close a few times. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. If he’s stuck in a meeting or there is another type of emergency, he’s off the hook.

He has to remind me when it’s punishment day. He has forgotten that one a few times.

He has to be naked around the house except when people are coming over or he needs clothing for safety reasons. He’s been pretty good about this one. I think he only missed once in recent memory. In fact, sometimes he’s too good about it. He is allowed to wear a T shirt when he’s cold but he sometimes sees this as cheating.

If he drops food on himself he gets swats. This is to combat a messy Lion. He jokes that restaurants have to put newspaper on the floor when he comes in. And for a while we seemed to have the only table without a table cloth in a restaurant, as if they knew he’d just mess it up.

Lion is notorious for interrupting me so I instituted this rule to help break him of this habit. I let him get away with it too often still.

Just recently, I added the collar back into the dress code. He has forgotten a few times, but I have not been on the ball with this rule. He remembers before I do and self-reports.

And now the standing when I enter the room rule. When I get that hashed out it will become a real rule.

I’m not much of a stickler for good manners. I try to have good manners, but when among friends it’s easy to let things go. I was just thinking Lion should have to open doors for me, but I think that would annoy me more than anything. I can open my own damn door. So I am still on the hunt for that last rule before my deadline. [Lion — I open doors for her now, when she lets me. I went to boarding school so my manners are generally good. I did get out of the habit of standing when she comes in or when she gets up at the table. So, that rule makes sense to me.]
