i have experienced this form of punishment in a past relationship. As stated by several, it was for a specified period of time and only as a last resort. i can honestly say i hated it, it was a very effective punishment that caused me to never repeat the same infraction again. (i still remember exactly what i did though it was years ago....needless to say, it stuck with me) To crawl to His feet, or to ask if He desired anything from me at the moment only to be completely ignored and made to feel invisible instead of the usual pat on the head or kind word was not only eye-opening & saddening, but humiliating. When the time was over my feelings and His were discussed and i was able to move on without guilt for what i had done. This is only me, everyone is different.
