One of the most important parts of all power exchange relationships is consistency. Even if we were to enjoy the adventure of exploring a new kink every night, for our relationship to function we still need the consistency of the Dominant being dominant and the submissive being submissive. It's also important for consistency to extend to actions. PrimalPiggy talks about one of the most powerful tools we have to maintain Discipline in power exchange relationships.

Lots of popular BDSM resources use the word Switch to mean two totally different things. This was actually popularized by TNG because in very Traditional BDSM the identity of Switch did not exist. The identity of Switch is a person who has the potential to be the Dominant in one relationship dynamic and the submissive in another relationship dynamic. However, anyone who prefers to be the Top during some kinks and the bottom during other kinks in a scene is Versatile. PrimalPiggy helps you decipher the difference in today's podcast!

An often forgotten part of Discipline is Service. Service plays at least a small part in most every relationship dynamic because most protocols involve some aspect of service. In the book "Real Service" Joshua Tenpenny offers four Rules of Service which we look at in today's podcast. Service often helps define and strengthen a power exchange. It is an important part of Discipline that more couples should be mindful about and look for ways to further integrate service-related protocols into their relationship.

Protocol can look like a lot of different things but it present in every power exchange dynamic. Protocol is the repeatable, consistent actions that define Dominant and define submissive. Those defining actions may look as different as the Dominant and submissive involved in the relationship dynamic, yet most protocols will follow a similar structure.

When most BDSM resources speak about Discipline they focus on punishments. Putting such a large emphasis on punishments instead of power exchange has caused a distortion. Discipline isn't a kink, it's the structure of power exchange relationships. Starting from the basic psychological and social building blocks of any society or culture our relationships include: Structure, Protocols/Rules, and Routines/Rituals. Cumulatively these three create the building blocks on which a system of Rewards/Benefits and Consequences/Punishments are derived. This is the what the "D" for Discipline within BDSM stands for.

The "D" in our BDSM acronym is easily the most overlooked and misunderstood part of our acronym. Together with the mental and physical Bondage of controlling and being controlled, Discipline is the umbrella for all of the structure, etiquette, protocol, service, routine, ritual, training, correction, and punishment involved in power exchange relationships.
