Your decorum in the local taproom was inappropriate and un-called for. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for any woman -- no matter how well disciplined -- to feel the urge to 'flirt'. The issue at hand is how you should willingly admit to this behavior and earnestly desire your correction. Much has been written about your building a determination to accept an appropriate correction from your husband. Let me share my viewpoint. I believe that your behavior is that of a lady who wants to be 'noticed' -- who wants to aggrevate your husband. Your reason is not obvious, but it could well be to provoke him to the point of giving you a punishment far beyond any 'love-tap' spanking received to date. Some writers have suggested the Wildfire School Cane. This is a good choice as it is far more 'severe' than you have obviously experienced before. Still, as a regular recipient of the Victorian Birch, let me give you an alternative.... Find the Wildfire's fine publication on the Birch. Read about its use over the years in punishment scenarios from the school to the home. Take its advice and create your own "instrument'. Then meet your husband at the door without prior notice. Tell him you have been behaving in a most inappropriate manner. Explain than only a significant disciplinary experience can ensure your return to the straight and narrow. Then lead him to the bedroom (or other private quarters) and present him with the birch rod you made. Explain that your absolutely need to learn true discipline and that you desire him to give you one dozen stokes. Here is where the True Discipline begins. You must lift your skirt, bend (grabbing a chair, table, or other fixture with which to steady yourself), and 'present' yourself for your birching. Other members have spoken of cold showers, physical exercise, icy swims...I guarantee that NOTHING will enhance your discipline or build the positive attitude that typifies a Wildfire Girl like one dozen sizzling strokes of a self-made birch.

Well, the reason is that each time, your Electric address comes out very strange. Something seems to be wrong with your post office programme, and our replies to you just bounce. Please try putting your Elektrapost address in the body of your letter, or you can ring us at 0181 989 0281 (from outside Great Britain, use the code for England, then 181 989 0281) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Training Oneself to Obedience I was sorry to hear that Dana is having some problems. Recently she wrote: My first question for Danielle: I there any advice she can give me on things I can do to train myself to become more cooperative when my husband has decided I need a spanking? Anything from adjusting my attitude towards him to what I'm wearing when he gets home? It was kind of you to ask my advice, Dana, and I shall help as much as I can. You have already made a good start by recognising that it is the duty of a feminine and obedient wife to be cooperative when the need for punishment arises, and that you seem to be lacking in the self-discipline needed to fulfil this duty properly. I don't think that "what you are wearing when he gets home" has much bearing on the problem. I hope and trust that you will invariably be dressed precisely as he wishes (if you do not, I am not surprised that you get punished so often - you deserve it!). You mention that "I sometimes try to resist him taking me over his lap or make it difficult for him to lift my skirt or remove my jeans". As you correctly say, Dana, this is quite wrong of you, and in order to improve you need to develop more self-discipline. Firstly, I should describe the present procedure in our household. Firstly, when my husband decides that I need to be corrected, I smile so that he knows that I recognise the justice of his decision, and ask him what implement is to be used (most commonly a Wildfire punishment cane in our house). I go eagerly to fetch the chosen instrument, and give it to him, again with a smile. I then adopt an appropriate position myself, rather than waiting for him to impose it on me. I normally either touch my toes (in the middle of the room so there is nothing to hold on to), or stand with arms raised against a wall. The question of his "removing my jeans" could never arise, because I never wear jeans, which I consider to be very unfeminine. Most commonly I will be wearing a short skirt. If I am wearing a microskirt, there is no need to remove it, because when I bend double because it rides up nicely to expose the target. Otherwise I lift my skirt myself, trying always to look enthusiastic and willing. During the punishment I use all my self-discipline and training to try to avoid crying out or otherwise grumbling (not always successfully, it must be said). Most important of all, when it is finished, I throw my arms round him, and thank him gratefully and sincerely. Then I dress myself properly and returning the cane to its proper place. I think that there are two possible approaches to your problem. The first is for you to be subjected to stricter discipline. The second (and better) is for you to develop better self-discipline. The first approach would be for your husband to cure your problem for you. You mention that, if you are uncooperative, he may double your punishment (quite rightly in my view). But this is evidently not enough to achieve what you desire so you could ask him to triple it, or quadruple it, until your behavior improves. In addition, if you persist in being uncooperative, it is obvious that spanking is not enough, and your husband should switch to a good cane, applied hard. He is obviously being too lenient with you. If your main emphasis is on improving your obedience, this may be the best approach. The second approach is for you to improve your own self-discipline so that you can make yourself behave as you should. This is the very problem that we have been discussing recently, and I am still hoping that it may be possible to devise some sort of training course that would help women in your position to develop better self-discipline, but until that happens, I shall just have to try to make suggestions by mail. You could start by trying the following regime. (1) Rise early (aim for 5 am, or even earlier). (2) Put on your make up and dress in a short tennis dress or gym skirt, that makes you look and feel both feminine and athletic at the same time. (3) Do some physical exercises, gradually making them longer and harder, to build your self discipline. Try not to give up too easily. (4) Then take a shower (many people find that a cold shower helps their self-discipline) and dress properly, in really attractive feminine clothes. That means definitely no jeans or sloppy sweaters! (5) Next do as many hours of menial and repetitive work as you can manage -things like scrubbing floors, ironing and so on. The longer and harder the jobs, the more your self-discipline is built up. You may want to dress in a smart maid's uniform for this work, to emphasise your humility (that is what I do myself). (6) In addition, as you improve, you may find it beneficial to undertake some more advanced training, based on more feminine versions of the sort things that are used to teach men good discipline in the military. The sort of things that are so good for men (assault courses, boxing etc) are not suitable for women, but there are plenty of more feminine things that women can do, which are just as effective. Here are a few examples of the sort that I find useful. (a) Get your husband to give you arbitrary orders (the sillier the better), and to ensure that you obey them to the letter -for example, he might tell you to cut the entire lawn with a pair of nail scissors, or to polish a ton of coal, piece by piece. The sillier the task, the more it will improve your self-discipline. (b) Stand on a stool, facing the corner of a darkened room. Stay absolutely still for as long as you can manage, reminding yourself continuously that every hour you stay there is helping your self-discipline enormously. (c) Teach yourself to bear discomfort, cold and pain bravely. This will develop your self-discipline and help you to take your punishments meekly, but bravely, as a good wife should. If I knew you it would be easy to make specific recommendations as to how you should go about this, but since I don't know you I'm afraid that it is quite impossible to give specific advice, because what is appropriate and helpful for one woman is not always right for another. Personally I find that my self-discipline is helped enormously by making myself go out on a winter day wearing just a thin open blouse, and by making myself swim in our local lake in midwinter. This certainly takes a lot of will power, but I can't say whether it would help you as much as it undoubtedly helps me. (7) Once you have reached an advanced stage of self-discipline you can do these jobs unsupervised. But until you reach this stage you will get much more from them if you are strictly supervised. In that case get your husband, or a sympathetic woman-friend, to set you firm targets for your exercise your house-work and your obedience tests, and to make sure (by appropriate application of a cane) that always reach your targets. These measures would make a good start, and if you work hard at them I think you will find it becomes easier to accept well-deserved punishment with good grace, and eventually to welcome it. I still regularly train myself in this way, to make sure that my self-discipline is maintained. Despite my good fortune in learning good self-discipline at school, and during my time in the Forces, I still find it desirable to work continuously to maintain and develop it. Dana's letter just serves to emphasize further the demand that exists for some form of strict civilian training designed specifically for women, aimed at improving their self-discipline and their discipline. I am still hoping that it might be possible to run such a course, if enough women are interested. With love DANIELLE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- J and her Husband I wish I could speak directly to J's husband but since that is not possible I can only urge her to make it clear to him that it his choice as to whether he wants to keep her in line or not. Encouraging another man in any way that goes beyond a little playful flirting threatens a marriage and should be dealt with very firmly. As I have said in earlier letters to Wildfire, I get a few spankings a year, and they are over my husband's knee and most of the time given with his hand only. (Believe me, it is quite enough.) Once, when I flirted in a way that was not quite innocent, was one of the few occasions when he used a strap to supplement his hand. At the time I thought it was a bit too severe but I really "got the message". J, you had better tell your husband very clearly where things stand. Feel free to show him my letter. Best wishes. TESS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advice for J First I agree 100% with your conclusion that husbands regularly giving disciplinary spankings to there wives (and not visa versa) keeps marriages together (see my posting in archive23). Second, I don't mean to intrude but I think you need to be honest with your husband and tell him that your really sorry for what you did but your also really afraid that it could happen again unless he severely disciplines you right away. Plus it will demonstrate to you that he really cares about you and your marriage which I think is really important. That may mean giving you a severe caning or spanking over your panties right then but it sounds to me that you need more than that. I know because I have crossed the line with other men before (not to mention other naughty behavior) so I know how difficult it can be. But I've been much better behaved lately because my husband has been giving me thorough spankings every week for the last 2-3 months, whether I've been naughty or not, and will continue to do so until he feels he can trust me to behave like a proper wife should. As you can expect I dreaded the idea at first but as he is head of the household I knew he had every right to do so and today I can honestly say that my behavior has improved and I think you'll find that your behavior will improve also. So I suggest you tell your husband honestly that you need a thorough spanking right away and also immediately after any other naughty behavior (not just a pat on the cheek) and then ask him to consider setting up a weekly discipline night for the next few months until you both feel you won't be tempted to look outside the marriage. I hope you don't mind me intruding like this and that you find this helpful. DANA --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perplexed Wife Ready to Roam Two weeks ago Sunday my behavior was as dissolute and indecorous as it has ever been. As you read on, please keep in mind that I am a spirited and independent girl. Two weeks ago, while my husband was at work, I decided to venture to the neighborhood "establishment." I had been working very hard all week and simply wished for a brief distraction. While there, a very handsome gentleman engaged my company. We only talked and sipped our drinks. Later, though, this gentleman was bold enough to slip me his number and steal a glancing kiss before I left. When I arrived home, my husband was already there. He said nothing that evening. The next afternoon, however, when I arrived home from work, he met me at the door and said very simply: "If you ever do anything like that again, I'll beat you with a stick" (I have been turned over my husband's knee in the distant past). The only thing I could think was: IF? IF I ever do anything like that again!?! You're virtually guranteeing that I WILL do it again if you don't do a good bit more than warm my panties RIGHT NOW with a good bit more than a stick! As well, ladies, my transgressions since then have been fairly minor but frequent. My husband has simply smiled and smacked my cheek (wrong one!) for being such a silly girl. And that is my current dilemma. And there is one more caveat to this story: The handsome gentleman at the taproom assured me that under NO circumstances would he allow the type of behavior that I was currently displaying without severe consequence (what he actually said was: "If you were my wife, I'd take you over my knee"). In reflecting upon these events for the past two weeks, I have come to this conclusion: Disciplinary spankings (and otherwise!) can and probably do keep marriages together, for I'm certain that I'll have an affair with my handsome gentleman or someone like him if my husband doesn't see to his business...and soon. Advice? Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are shocked and certainly think it high time your husband took you in hand. If the sort of "stick" he has in mind is actually a traditional school cane, we feel you may learn to treat it less lightly than you do at present, and also to behave better. Let us hope your husband will act before it is too late. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VISIT THE ARCHIVE This Forum is outgrowing itself already, and we have had to put the earlier material into a separate archive.
