I use domestic discipline as a means of defining a relationship, and taking care of problems before they develop ino major issues or argumennts. Discipine isnt about being upset or angry, and it isnt about getting back at your partner - it is a quick and effective way of clearing the air.

Conversely, discipline allows the one at fault to show that they acknowledge their partner's feelings and accept that they could have been more considerate. Accepting discipline graciously demonstrates a healthy relationship - you are honest with yourself and your partner, admit that you were wrong, accept the consequences and move on.

Finally, or course, its very sexy! Isn't that why we do the things we do?
