Real Life Stories - June/July 2018

Screen 19 of 22

We have a "Special Room" in our house called the "Thinking Room". It is really no more than a cupboard under one of the sets of stairs leading into our basement. Normally it has a wall panel across it that moves away very easily and behind it is a lockable door. This is so that anybody entering the basement will not be aware of a room there. The room has a sloping ceiling as it is under the stairs and in it there is a high-backed captains chair. There are Velcro strips on the arms, legs and top of the back of the chair used for restraints. When I punish my husband, I strap him in this chair and lock him in the "Thinking Room" until I feel he has had enough time to think about his transgressions against me.

I also use the chair from the Thinking Room in the basement shower. If I am not satisfied with any gardening (or other) work done by my husband he has to do it all over again and, when completed to my satisfaction, he has to put the chair in the shower stool and I strap him into it and he has to sit in a cold shower until I am satisfied that he has learned his lesson. This is usually for around ten minutes.
