Anna never put her thoughts on paper, but if she had, I think she would have said that some men simply need regular beatings to remain focused on relationship goals, and be communicative. Men are solitary and non-communicative by nature; traits that served them well in primitive (male as hunter, female as gatherer) times, but to be true partners in successful, modern relationships of any sort (personal and professional), they need to transcend these instinctive communication barriers. In our case, a beating intended not to punish (those didn't wait for Friday evenings...) but instead merely to assert authority was what I needed.

Thanks for your website and the forum for discussion it provides.

Elise’s Response:

Carl, thank you for sharing those lovely and profound thoughts. Discipline is rarely enjoyable for the submissive顺从 — willing to obey while it is taking place (although if it induces subspace, it can be erotic and mentally and spiritually fulfilling). The cane and the paddle hurt and discipline can be uncomfortable. But afterwards, it yields the peaceful fruit of love and surrender.
