Being Bad

Does the sub sometimes get away with bad behaviour?

She may get one past her dom. It is entirely possible. After all, he is not watching her for every minute of the day, and when he asks her a question, he is expecting that her response is honest. So, there is room for her to get away with bad behaviour.

The real question is, 'Does she want to get away with the bad behaviour herself?'

In the short term, she may. She may know, full well, that her behaviour is below par, and she may also know that her dom would take a dim view of the situation, if he knew. So, in the short term, she may be looking to get away with 'it'.

But, looking now beyond the short term, I suspect that the sub has no interest whatsoever in getting away with bad behaviour.

Why should I think that?

Simple. It feels awful.

Now, a few doms I happen to know, think I was a little cheeky a few days ago, in writing a scene about a girl who had thoughts of getting away with 'it'.

Maybe it is news, maybe it is not, but the fact is that girls do have these thoughts. It takes real 'guts' to advise one's dom that one has broken an important rule. The doms I know are not of the inclination to say, "That's all right, dear. I like the fact that you were honest. So, I'm not going to punish you."

No. No. No! The doms I know believe that it is their responsibility to punish the girl and teach her a lesson.

And, rightly so. For such is the mind of the sub, that to get away with the breaking of a rule is nothing less than confusing and even disappointing.

There are a number of reasons for breaking a rule, but one that comes to mind, is that the sub is not happy about the amount of attention she is receiving. He is not paying attention, and if he is not going to pay attention, then she may as well do as she pleases. I suppose you might equate it to the mice who play when the cat goes away.

But, she does not really want to break the rule. She just wants her dom to pay attention to her. Now, in this frame of mind, any old attention will do - good or bad.

Naturally enough, this sort of mind set is simply a slippery slope that will lead her down the garden path to select a switch with which to improve her thinking.

Does she want that? I suggest she does not. It hurts like hell. However, once she has been corrected, her mind is unfrozen, and a proper mind set restored. What the hell was she thinking to have disobeyed in the first place?

Honesty is a two edged sword. Here I am being the honest one, and getting into trouble for it!

So, let me assure the dom, that this sub knows her place, and even if she enjoys a little joke, she knows where the power lies. Happy now?
