Sticks and Stones...

...may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!

Or will they? Does it matter to you how your spankings are verbally framed? Are there any words or phrases that negatively affect your perceptions of spanking sessions?

The context is this: Once upon a time, I was discussing my disinterest in discipline, explaining that while I do not engage in punishment for doing something wrong, I -do- very much appreciate release spanking to ease my anxiety about having made a mistake.

Punishment for wrongdoing vs. release from anxiety. I see them as two entirely different things. The other fellow pointed out that since the end result would look identical, these two scenarios were actually the same, and the words attached did not matter.

Do words matter to you?
