- Punishment – harsh to reinforce rules or break bad behavior.
- Pleasure - if the Dom is a Sadist or the sub is a masochist. It can also be a form of humiliation.
- Sensual - fun teasing type, typically soft to mild pats with tingle and stimulate.
The submissive should know what type is being given, especially if it is a Punishment one. they should be able to tell a Sensual from a Pleasure if they know the Dom.
