Types of Punishment Spanking

As I see it, there are three types of Punishment spanking:

• Respect Spanking - D. can be extremely disrespectful at times; and when his behavior turns disrespectful, I do not hesitate to get the paddle or the strap. The spanking is intended to create or improve respect within the relationship, and the punishment is always severe enough to effectively produce the desired respect.
• Restoration Spanking - D. gets this type of spanking when his behavior has caused a disconnection in the relationship. Sometimes I pile on a Restoration Spanking after a Respect Spanking because of the disconnection from the disrespect. The dual punishment always brings tears to his eyes, but it has always helped us to move through this process together.
• Repentance Spanking - When his behavior demands true repentance, D. earns this type of spanking. This is the most intense of all the spankings and always generates an emotional release (typically in the form of tears) and opens the door to emotional reconnection. When I confront D. with the strap, he knows he's about to get a Repentance Spanking.
