Hi,

I hope I am not too late to enter this discussion, but I am a newbie here and missed out on the original stuff.

This is a subject close to my heart as my owner lives and works in london, and my job means I am in Oxford most of the time, although we always get together at weekends, and at other times too. So the way he disciplines and punishes me 'at long distance' is something that is important to us.

Obviously he has plumbed into my dislikes and uses his intimate knowledge of them to ensure that I stay in line even if he isn't there. For instance, I hate kneeling for long, so I have to spend time kneeling, gagged and hooded, in the corner of the room as a routine reminder of my status and how I am HIS possession. I have a kitchen timer that I set just before adopting that pose and I can't shift until it rings to tell me that I have 'done my time'.

My owner trusts me not to try to evade or shorten these periods, and other disciplinary 'exercises', and I am glad to say that I don't. In the same way, I must confess any failings on my part and I equally accept punishment, even if he is not there to witness it. We have a variety of ways of doing this, which are mainly physical, although some are psychological (not touching my body between neck and knees except in the shower or bathing and then only minimally as necessary for hygiene. Locking myself into my chastity belt when at work. Etc Etc.)

Obviously the major physical punishments (whippings etc.) are held over until we meet, and that makes them even worse - waiting a week for punishment is NOT a pleasant experience. So we seem to have a workable balance here, and it certainly helps me stay on the beam while we are apart.

If it sounds that my day-to-day existence is fully of punishments, I should add that serious punishments happen rarely thankfully, although 'disciplinary exercises' like the kneeling one, are regular aspects of my existence.

Hope this helps.
Love, Jane.
