I think it says a lot about Bruce that he considers paddling a "pleasure slave thing", instead of a disciplinary tool, lol. News to me!

I figured with all the sexual connotations of paddling Bruce would feel more comfortable NOT using it on Dick. :)
I find Dick's pragmatic, accepting attitude of Pop's plans for him a sign of his maturity and understanding. He didn't necessarily welcome it, but he understood the reasons and knew it could be a lot worse. Notice that Pop didn't just spring it on him out of the blue, but explained it all years in advance, so he had to time deal with it. ~looks at Bruce

Poor baby bird. It's one thing to understand something in yer head but something else when yer nose is rubbed into cold, hard reality... and there's something to be said for starting a little young and getting the right message out there to the pervs and scumbags.

Easier to submit to the inevitable if there's love and understanding and a few treats to sweeten things.

Very true! Bruce was pretty conflicted by his decision but he felt that it was time.

That's an interesting thought! It sounds like something this culture might do, if only with an indulgent Master. :)

Thanks, sweetie! I'm afraid Dick is a little shell-shocked, the dear.
