Hoping to Avoid a Primary Night Backslide.

After the dust settled on Saturday afternoon, with slave suitably chastened, we went back to a more normal routine. There was dinner with the Dowager Domme for her birthday on Saturday night, and a Sunday that featured a bike ride and some lolling about with the New York Times before Mistress indulged her slave with some mid-morning wake up sex. 

We did get a thoughtful comment yesterday from our anonymous local commenter, who has become such a student of the blog, I’m thinking he may be using it as a subject for a Masters’ degree. Here is what he had to say, in case you missed it:

The best thing about corrective action by one's Mistress or Master is that once it is done, the issue or cause for the corrective action is also done, at least until the infraction is repeated. This means that all transgressions are dealt with in the timely manner and are then considered closed action items. They are not brought up again and again, allowing the past to stay where it belongs promoting a sense of living for the moment and looking forward in a positive manner to the future. This promotes a healthy relationship as all contentious issues are put to rest in a timely manner.

Mick has now paid for his failure to serve Molly properly on the last two Tuesday election primaries. However, I must point out that there are several primaries to come, not to mention the Party Conventions this summer. Does anyone think that Mick will be able to control his appetite for following and participating in politics? I am sorry to say that I have some serious doubts. My money is on the probability that Mick will have a several sore bottom days between now and the General election in November resulting from getting lost in the election cycle moment and failing to serve Molly properly.

Anon, your observation is correct. A good, punitive physical correction – while painful at the time – is the best way to put to bed an incident (or multiple incidents) of misconduct.  Before Mistress learned this technique she could sulk for a while if Slave messed up, withholding her normally sunny personality as a form of punishment.  Now she seems to have learned that a good cropping can show me the error of my ways while allowing her to purge her own hurt feelings or discontent with me.  A “win win”, so to speak.

And tonight will be a test to see if her “correction” had the desired impact, as votes come in from the Indiana primary.  I'll be closely monitoring whether Ted "The Creepy Canadian" Cruz can reboot his fading campaign in Indiana. 

Let’s hope I don’t have a backslide. If so, it will be my backside that pays the price.
