Punishment and funishment are a dynamic duo of kinks to include in a dynamic, especially for a sadist-masochist combo. Punishment is the type of response a submissive wants to avoid having to experience, whereas funishment is role-play that is yearned for because of the pleasure and intensity it can bring.

Basically, punishment a rule or protocol has been broken and there is real a correction needed, and funishment—is all about keeping the fun times rolling.

The problem is, since funishment is the role play version of punishment, the two can begin to overlap and things get dicey. You never know if your submissive is enjoying or learning from punishment, and whether funishment is still fun. By keeping a clear line drawn between the two in your dynamic, you can keep the kinky times rolling, and growing, as both kinks bring you and your partner closer.
