Discipline

Discipline 

Refers to the presence of character interaction with a defined power imbalance in the context of a sexual relationship, in which the dominant punishes the submissive character for real or perceived misbehaviour or as sexual stimulus. Often part of BDSM verses and may include scenes of corporal punishment, such as spanking, or humiliation or degradation used to control and train the submissive. May or may not be consensual. This can frequently be a squick for many people, so should be listed in the author's warnings.
