At FemdomU, discipline is not just something we talk about. It is something our submissives live by.

All subs connected to the Magazine, whether staff members or volunteers, participate in our Punishment and Reward Points System. When a sub performs well, he earns Good Boy Points. When he slips up, fails an assignment, or breaks protocol, he earns Punishment Points. Those points are not symbolic. They eventually become real consequences.

Each month, our Sub Coordinator, duckie, conducts a Monthly Punishment Ceremony where Punishment Points are converted into physical lashings. As coordinator of the program, duckie accepts responsibility for carrying out the system and receiving the accumulated punishment points on behalf of the group.

However, our subs are given a choice. Any sub may step forward and take his own punishment instead, reducing the number of lashings duckie must receive. Some do. Some decide they would rather face the sting themselves than watch another sub suffer for their mistakes.

The images in this gallery come from February’s punishments. Our Zineboys document the discipline they administer to themselves as they work off their points and restore their standing. Each photo is a reminder that service, obedience, and accountability all go hand in hand within the FemdomU household.

And as many of them will tell you, taking your punishment properly is one of the surest ways to earn your way back into good graces.
