I was just thinking about my most memorable experience and would like to share it with you. My wife had teasingly suggested that since she earned nearly twice as much income as myself (she is a highly paid administrative assistant for a well-known Chicago Loop Firm--I am unemployed and working two part-time jobs), that she be the "disciplinarian" in our household. That was back some 11 years ago when we were first married.
Today, she is saying this in "earnest"--expressing dissatisfaction with a number of my behaviors. I love her dearly, and was mixed with both fear and desire as she called me to task, and led me into our den where she sat in the middle of the sofa. Her instructions were explicit: "Go upstairs to the bathroom and get my hairbrush...when you return you will finally get what you really have deserved for some time..."
Nervously but with some anticipation, I returned, where she ordered me to stand in front of her. She unbuckled my belt, pulled down my trousers to slightly below my knees, and lowered my briefs to the same point. Neither of us said a word, although my heart was racing and my breathing was harder than normal. Then she spoke: "Bend over my knees..." (It was hot last week, and she was wearing her white shorts--revealing nearly all of her creamy white thighs, knees, and legs...this is what first attracted me to her 12 years ago--and she still had it!).
Fantasy quickly changed to reality, however, as the hairbrush was brought down with a force I never thought she was capable of. Boy did it ever hurt. I was crying like a baby and promising to change, promising to obey, promising to "do *whatever* she asked, if only she would stop. Finally, she did stop. The "air was cleared" as I begin to realize.
She grabbed my nearly completely naked body (I lost my pants and briefs in all the kicking and motion) in her arms and began to kiss my tear-stained face with a passion I had not experienced in months.
She mentions a behavior of mine, now, that needs correction, and generally after one or two sessions there are signs of real improvement.
