Discipline from the top to the bottom

In the course of your D/s relationship, there will be high points. Very high points. They will likely outnumber the difficult times. These, however, will be part of the journey. As a matter of this course, you as the Dominant will have to carefully weigh the many factors involved in offering guidance and a strong hand, tempered with the sometimes difficult responsibility of doling out discipline and at hopefully fewer intervals, punishment. I am interested to hear from both tops and bottoms with regard to personal experiences. As a top, is it difficult to offer corrections, institute rules, and punish when absolutely necessary? As a sub, how do you respond emotionally to such?

I recently came across a list of favorites at a Thinking Dominant's Blog for a Dom to consider, particularly in the context of what they have to bring to a D/s relationship. I found that type of information to be quite helpful to inspire and energize the discussion going on in my own head, for I relate to being a thinking dom. Thanks for that.
