This article was written in the way of referring to a Male Master / female sub .... but can be used by females if your sub's hair is long enough. I personally like to feel the submissive I work with is hair in my fingers, and it gives direct attention and draws his attention directly to me. When he has made a huge error I find it easier to explain the correct behavior if his attention is completely on Me. Hope you enjoy...

The hair as an object for punishment

POWERotics News Desk)

Your sub's hair - especially due to the intimate relationship she has with it - makes it an obvious object for punishments. Punishments in this area will usually have a huge impact, again due to the mental aspects of it and will certainly count as a real punishment (as opposed to play punishment).

The Japanese are true masters, when it comes to this. On the Shibari site you will find several hair bondages as well as different examples of humiliation in combination with hair bondages. The nice thing about using the hair for punishment purposes is in the fact that - from the dominant point of view - it usually requires very little effort and quite a few punishments allow for your sub to do the work by herself.

If you are planning to use pain as a form of punishment the technique is quite similar to spanking or whipping. Just replace "strokes" by "pulls" and you're there. Be aware though that if you make her count the pulls out load - as many Doms would do if it were a spanking or whipping - the humiliating aspects of having to count out load are more intense as well.

However, the true sadists among us will use refined techniques that are cruel and can be very painful without the risk of damage - such as accidentally pulling the hair out. One thing to bear in mind that different parts of the scalp will produce different pain sensations. Right behind the ears or in the neck pulling will be much more painful than - for example, on the top of the head. As a result, for punishment purposes these areas are preferred.

To create maximum impact with minimal effort, spread your fingers, slip them into the hair close to the skin, close your first and instead of pulling simple twist your hand a bit. Twisting and alternating the directions of the twists will be a sensation your sub is not likely to forget.
