Real Stories - Predominant 2011, Issue 3

Screen 19 of 21

Although the fractures have healed and she is undergoing therapy, it is evident to both of us that she will no longer be able to punish me as she has been accustomed to doing. No matter how fully she recovers, she won’t have the arm strength she previously had, and her left hand has never been powerful enough to serve the purpose.

Once she was well enough to focus on the issue, Nora’s immediate instinct was to say she would ask her best girl friend to administer my punishments in her place. That idea did not appeal to me in the least. It’s not just that no one knows about her D/s relationship. (Nora may ask me – i.e., order me – to do something when we’re out, but the most she’ll ever say if she’s dissatisfied is “we’ll talk about this later.” We both know what that means, of course.) I like Nora’s girlfriend Alma but she is the biggest gossip east of the Mississippi. Once she knows, everybody will know. And I won’t be able to look any of our friends in the eye.

I suggested instead that I find someone on the Internet who could be my disciplinarian. I scouted around, and it turned out that no one was available for less than $150-200 an hour. No way we can afford that, even if I stop eating lunch and saved every cent of my weekly allowance.
