The DD Dichotomy

There are many ways that couples display their love and affection for one another. There are simple acts; walking hand in hand, opening a door, a gentle touch in passing. And there is the more traditional, like sending a dozen roses to the one you love.

In a DD relationship, however, certain acts of love would not only be counterintuitive, they would be downright baffling to the public at large.

Physical acts of discipline, spankings, are an integral part of most DD relationships. But, while they certainly serve as a punishment, and as such, an unwelcome experience, they also serve a deeper and more important purpose.

In a DD relationship a spanking also serves as an act of love. It’s a concrete way to demonstrate to the submissive member of the relationship that they matter to the dominant partner. By holding them accountable, they gain a sense of security, knowing that there are boundaries to their behavior, and that someone is looking out for them.

There is even a physical benefit to the spanking. The spanking breaks down all of the emotional barriers the “sub” has built, and allows them to purge themselves of the pain, anger and frustration they may be feeling. Holding them close after the spanking, kissing them, caressing them, and telling them how much they are loved, needed and appreciated, refills their “emotional reservoirs” with positive, self affirming emotions.

In some instances, the experience can be as intimate, perhaps more, than sex.

The DD dichotomy. Up is down, left is right, black is white, and two people who love each other very much wouldn’t have it any other way.
