Hold a Squat
Hold an unsupported squat in the position your Dominant sets until you are released.
Extra care required. This punishment carries more risk than standard play. Make sure both people understand the specific activity, agree on limits and intensity beforehand, and have a clear way to stop.
What it is
A squat hold is a static endurance punishment in which the submissive lowers into an agreed squat and stays there instead of standing back up. The body is unsupported, so the legs and core must maintain both height and balance. The Dominant may choose a shallower or deeper position to fit the person’s mobility. This differs from repeated squats because the difficulty comes from staying in one loaded position rather than completing multiple repetitions.
What makes it punishing
There is nowhere for the body to settle. Standing would unload the legs, while sitting would end the required posture, so the sub has to remain between the two as fatigue grows. The thighs may burn and the body may begin to shake, but balance and form still need attention. That combination can make even a short hold feel much longer.
Why Dominants Choose It
A squat hold makes the submissive physically support the consequence themselves. The Dominant sets the shape and then watches whether the sub can remain inside it, which can feel more exacting than simply ordering a set of exercises. Because the position is unsupported, small changes in height are easy to notice. The appeal can lie in watching obedience become visible through sustained effort.
Ways to run it
- Shallow Squat Hold
- The sub holds a higher squat position that reduces depth while keeping the unsupported endurance requirement.
- Parallel Squat Hold
- The thighs remain near the agreed parallel position, creating a more demanding sustained lower-body hold.
- Wide-Stance Hold
- A wider foot position changes the squat shape while preserving the requirement to remain unsupported and still.
- Hands-Forward Hold
- The sub keeps the arms extended in front while maintaining the squat, making posture easier to inspect.
- Repeated Timed Holds
- Several separate squat holds are completed in sequence, each with its own defined duration and rest.
How this punishment works
Hold a Squat is from the positions & physical endurance category. This is an in-person punishment — it needs you and your Dom in the same room. It's a nonsexual punishment: structure and consequence, no sexual content required.
Intermediate: best once you've built trust, protocol, and a track record together.
