ORIGINAL: TheLadyIsADomme .Yes, brattiness can be seen as attention-seeking behavior. As can many other forms of "acting out". The concept of "even negative attention is better than no attention" comes to mind. For this reason, many subs do not like corner time - it is the absence of attention. Actively addressing "bratty" behavior is still providing attention, and in some sense a reinforcement of the behavior, not to mention being quite tiresome. But again, as many have said, and I agree, part of this is the context in which the behavior occurs and the dynamic between the two parties engaging in the behavior. ah! - now this suddenly reminded me of a sub at a munch i once went to. she was sitting at a table with a massive pout and cloud over her head, each time her Dominant attempted to engage her in conversation or attend to her at all, shed just shrug and pout even more. so in the end he left her to it. she spent the entire evening sitting there in a mood all by herself. at the time i thought, newbie that i was, that he was letting her get away with it, but actually of course he wasnt, he just wasnt pandering to her.

So all I have to do in order to serve him, is to work out exactly how improbable he is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give him a fresh cup of really hot tea ... and turn him on!
