Domestic Discipline or simply DD is discipline (the enforcement of order, usually by punishment for infringement of rules applied in a domestic context, normally between members of a household.

In education, it is discipline applied by the educator (usually parental, mainly the head of household, other care-givers -e.g. babysitter, guardian, day care staff-, or older sibling) as part of the education of the minor, mainly at home, but also anywhere both are present, and sometimes interacting with other eductors, e.g. punishment at home for bad school results or misbehaviour at school.

By extension, it is sometimes said of disciplining of the same minors by similar means ('in loco parentis') in other rather informal private contexts other then school, normally subject to parental consent, such as summer camp. The distinction may be a gray area, e.g. when boarding school kids are disciplined by staff and/or older colleagues (such as prefects) as they might e at home.

In the generally voluntary context of adult relationships, it is specifically said of the practice of interspousal discipline, in BDSM and some other erotic contexts with an emphasis on spanking as a punishment. Practicioners argue that domestic discipline is distinct from both domestic abuse, and activities such as erotic spanking and BDSM-style domination and submission.

Ideally it is the loving, consistent use of discipline as a positive way to enhance communication, deepen intimacy and reinforce relationship commitment. The discipline would normally include physical punishment but centres around rules of behaviour laid down by one party and nominally agreed to by the other.

Domestic Discipline is not about abuse but about consensual loving guidance. Commonly in a heterosexual relationship, the disciplined is the woman and the disciplinary is the man but this need not be the case. Switching is unusual in a DD relationship though does occur.

As a relationship style, it is often seen as a stylised form of 'traditional' relationship intended to help the woman overcome negative behaviours that harm herself, her relationship or others. In creating loving limits to her behaviour and firm consequences for harmful activities, it aims to improve the relationship over time and demonstrates a loving connection and physical correction from a caring partner.
