Because I Want To
Why is it being punished today? Simple – because I want to punish it! It is also very important for the slave to learn to distinguish between punishment for pleasure (mine) and punishment for failure (its). It should crave to be punished for my pleasure so it can feel useful, but avoid failure as it will be punished in ways it doesn't like. It is all part of the training process and reprogramming the slave brain so it can submit better. That and I just simply like whooshing canes through the air and putting lots of deep red welts on my property's ass! Watching it squirm in pain, but plead for more is also quite amusing.
