CULTURE: Christian Domestic Discipline - Over the Knees is the REAL new position.

With all the sexy, fun play S+M offers, it comes as no surprise that everyone wants in on it.

Including Christians.

Of course, letting themselves indulge in the pleasure of giving and receiving pain must be some sort of sin. Thank god for the interweb.

And the Lord said 'Lay the Smack Down!'

Welcome to Christian Domestic Discipline, or CDD. All the fun and smut of playful spanking, but with God looking over your shoulder, reminding you that it’s alright. The Bible says so.

Rarely? That’s odd, especially when you look into the blogs of the women on the site, or even the glossary. Certain terms like Maintenance Journal, which is a record kept over a set length of time that is presented to a husband prior to a scheduled spanking. Some women use the impending punishment as a way to keep the house clean, or keep up to date on raising the children. Hell, it’s even useful for staying true to a diet.

It’s all just a little fun, right? Just some S+M play so loosely veiled as the One True Word that there’s no harm? The site even goes so far as to give you help with introducing CDD into your marriage, making sure to stay as far away from S+M as it can.

Hmm, seems hard to swallow the lie when the front of the page assures you that getting pleasure out of the act is natural and probably just God’s plan. The glossary remains ever helpful and even gives you some starting positions and tips!

Anyone else hot too?

So what’s the big deal? Even with terms like “AAAC: Acronym for Avoid At All Costs. A spanking designed to be particularly severe” or “Pre-emptive Spanking: A spanking given before an event or occasion where a wife has, in the past, had a difficult time with her behavior in the hopes the reminder will help her to behave, sparing her a more severe punishment spanking”, it’s all ‘consensual’ fun. Except the glossary falls to give one definition. Safe Word.

S+M is sexual play, something that goes only as far as the receiver will allow, and stops the minute it is not wanted anymore. CDD is just dominance. Period. If this is play, the game doesn’t stop outside the bedroom. It forces the wife into a submissive role, so much that she lives in constant worry of her next spanking. Sounds a little like walking on eggshells in an abusive relationship, not knowing when you’ve ‘failed’ your maintenance report and your husband will ‘punish you.’

But the site stays adamant that CDD is in no way abuse. The punishment given with CDD is given out of love, while Domestic Abuse is given out of hate. It’s hard to tell where to draw the line, especially when religion calls no comebacks on their beliefs, as if legality cannot touch them.

All I hope is that, when the wife is over her husband’s knee, who of course, gets no pleasure out of hurting her, that she can stop the act the moment it leaves her comfort zone.

But I guess that’s against the point of a punishment.

I don't know anything about the statistics but " he only does it because he loves me" seems to be one of the most common rationalizations I've heard from women I've known in abusive relationships too.

my safe word is "HARDER BITCH !"

Sometimes I want to give God an open-hander so bad.. for His own good.

God has absolutely nothing to do with this.

...he just likes to watch.

Ten to one this is set up by a fat old white male pastor. Even still, I got to admit spanking is by far one of my favorite tactile stimulants......

Mmpph!

Yes mam.
er, ah . . . No mam ?

some christian company, like zondervan needs to release an CDD instructional video!

why does christianity always relegate women to the same status as children and pets?

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

I was just about to post that. People who willingly stay in abusive relationships tend to make justifications in whatever way they can, and that's the perfect example.

Perhaps, but allow me to play devil's advocate for a minute...

What if she really wants a "master/slave" relationship, with her being the slave, but, OMG, BDSM is sinful. So this might be the closest she can get.

I knew a few Christian girls who would make perfect slaves, and that's probably* what they would want. I also knew a few Christian guys like that...

*based on my knowledge of their personalities. We didn't talk about BDSM in our Bible study groups back when I was a Christian.

Because it was invented a few thousand years ago by a bunch of complete tossers.

Also, this 'CDD' might help the small number of people out there who are interested in BDSM but are unable to reconcile those desires with mythology, but I would think it's more likely to force a large number of people with no interest in BDSM into it as it tells them it's mandated by fairy tales.

Things like this make me embarrassed to be part of the human race.
