My wife has disciplined and punished me since before we were married – and that was nearly twenty years ago.
To clarify, in our house the difference between discipline and punishment is that one is applied prior to an ejaculation, when the pain is at least partially mitigated by my horniness and the latter is applied immediately following my ejaculation, the better to render my pain more acute.
Peggy has taught me to follow three rules. I am to be respectful and obedient at all times and I am to submit without hesitation to her imposition of severe corporal punishment.
If I violate one of these rules, I am caused to dearly regret it.
Early in my training, my spankings were always administered in private.
Nobody saw me being spanked, naked and tears running down my face, my buttocks throbbing and stinging from Peggy's thin, wooden paddle (her favorite implement for my spankings).
For that matter, nobody even knew of Peggy's spankings.
Now and then, Peggy would threaten me by suggesting she might like to have one of her friends witness my punishment.
She said that she thought that it would do them good to learn how to tame a man and keep him constantly in his place.
When I imagined such a sight, I was mortified, my nude body restrained,ready for her hellish oaken paddle.
I imagined Peggy and her friend fully dressed, making my own nudity even more humiliating.
When I play this internal video in my imagination, I see Peggy paddling me to tears, causing me to cry like a little girl, as she likes to describe it.
I hear her talking to her friend, explaining that she always spanks me to tears and then gets even more severe.
As she explains it, when she has me genuinely howling and screaming, begging her for mercy that I know will not be granted, she doubles the speed and, most often, achieves an orgasm from the experience.
Not just the spanking of me but for all of the individual components adding up, as Peggy explains, to the proverbial total being greater than the sum of its parts.
She described the joy, the liberation she called it, of owning the man that she loved.
The ego-rush and the sheer satisfaction of knowing that her lover had offered his submission to her and that she had accepted it, along with a proviso that she employ regular, severe corporal punishment.
As I imagined such things, I got hard. But, I knew, with very little effort Peggy could cause my erection to disappear with a few stinging swats of her paddle.
I guess that I would have to describe myself as a masochist. A 'mental masochist' if you will allow.
I found the thought of a spanking to be erotic, the more severe the spanking, the better.
I imagined being paddled, caned, switched, strapped, birched, and tawsed, all by the lady that I loved – then and now, Peggy.
I learned that the other half of being a mental masochist was my ability to savor the experience after it was over.
The feeling of the thrashing still fresh on my spanked flesh.
My buttocks still ablaze with the stinging and burning caused by the paddle.
If the cane has been used, I will feel the sensitive welts that remain long after the cane has stopped its excruciating message of pain.
Years ago, I'd confessed my, until then, secret obsession to Peggy, the love of my life, and now my wife,
As serendipity would have it, Peggy's fantasies were exactly compatible and she's had no problem providing me with much stricter corporal punishment than I could have ever imagined.
In those early days I had to learn to take increasingly severe spankings without the benefit of restraints.
I'd learned to 'stay in position' for the most part but Peggy was displeased by the fact that I could slow the spanking by rolling from side to side when she had me in her favorite position, nude, on my belly, two pillows elevating my hips and presenting my buttocks to her satisfaction.
She also complained that she would like to get much more severe in my spankings and was unable to impose a stricter regimen without restraining me.
She said that this would always be consensual.
The catch being, as she explained it to me, my consent would be to the submission to the restraints.
With full knowledge that I would be thrashed severely, I would submit to the restraints.
After that, she'd say with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she would own me.
She got wet, she said, when she imagined having me helpless to her corporal punishment.
After much discussion, we went to the internet and ordered a 'punishment bench', spending several hundred dollars, based only on a photograph of the wood and leather piece of furniture, for want of a better term, and a brief description.
Within a few weeks, the bench arrived in two separate boxes, both quite large.
Peggy sent me to the basement with the boxes, along with instructions to have the bench assembled and ready for use the coming weekend.
"I know that we've said that we've tested your sincerity from the beginning with quite severe corporal punishment.
"We both know this; but, I want to truly test your sincerity, to test your submission.
"I want to thrash you harder and longer than I've ever spanked you. I want the satisfaction of beating you a lot more than you want me to.
"I want the satisfaction of your submission to regular thrashings secured to our new punishment bench, having experienced the pain of previous times on the bench and knowing what you are in for."
The bench wasn't very difficult to assemble. It resembled a sawhorse on steroids, with removable shelves, one each for the two legs and the two forearms.
There were leather straps for each wrist, each forearm, each thigh, each ankle, and a wide strap to press my waist against the leather-cushioned crown.
I was able to have the bench ready a day ahead of time and informed Peggy on Thursday, proud of myself to have beaten her deadline by so much. I was embarrassed, though, to hear her derisive response.
"Oh, my. Look who's anxious to try out our new punishment bench. I love you so, Bill, and I'm going to love hearing your sobbing when I have you in the basement this weekend.
"I don't want to give away all of the surprises, but one treat that you can look forward to is one that you've asked for.
"I've bought a strap-on dildo to use on you this weekend. With you immobile on the bench, I'll be able to fuck you silly after I've given you a severe thrashing.
"Think of me fucking you this weekend, Bill. Think of your severe paddling. Not only a paddling, though. I'm going to use my favorite oak paddle of course.
"In addition, though, I intend to use a rattan cane, a spanking strap, a birch switch and a bundle of switches, a tawse, and a new surprise, a single-tail whip.
"Think about what is to happen to your round butt-cheeks as I bring you to tears and beyond.
"Think about how I will first make you cry like a girl, and then fuck you like a girl while you are still crying.
"I'll make you cum while I'm fucking you and catch your semen in my hand. I'll let you lick my hand clean of your cum and thank me for your thrashing and fuck."
Friday night came and we had the entire weekend to ourselves, or so I thought.
