Maintenance discipline

He asks above a drawing of a cat-o'-nine-tails.

"Good" for the sadistic one's ego and satisfaction, perhaps...

I firmly believe in discipline but so-called "maintenance discipline" doesn't make sense at all. Familiarity breeds contempt in my opinion.

Sometimes it's an intimate and helpful thing to be spanked for small infractions. Like when you say you're sorry for an angry outburst, or something minor like that. The feeling of surrender is a wonderful experience, and to surrender for a small thing brings out the love between you both.

So....it may seem like a maintenance spanking, but there always those little things that you need to pay for, also. I always think that the absolute most intimate way, is for it to be two way. When you both can surrender to each other, it really purifies your relationship.

No - I strongly believe in firm and consistent discipline but not in maintenance discipline.

Discipline has to be maintained otherwise it loses its effectiveness

interesting to read so clear opinions

[b]NO![/b] So-called "maintenance spankings" are good for no-one except the bully giving them. They are either just sadism (in its true sense) masquerading as "discipline"; or show resentment, even hatred, of the children.

I like consensual, adults-only spanking but that sort of behaviour is disgusting. It is cruelty, and there is no excuse for cruelty.

Just wrong

YES..
