  • embracing disciplines
    General and/or theoretical discussions relating to the gift of disciplines qua disciplines and without respect to other factors (ie, relationships, quotidian demands etc). The premiss of this forum is that disciplines are not best understood as burdens or punishments but as opportunities for obedience - and hence for comfort, pleasure, balance and peace. The emphasis in this area is on sexual disciplines but other disciplinary contexts are also discussed here.
