Oooh yes. And maybe Frank reverses it completely, and hands out things like spankings as *rewards* when Matt forces himself to agree to the praises, takes them without argueing, manages to *relax* to them - and then, playful punishments like spankings or a bit of hair-pulling (which, lets be frank, probably don't even *regjster* on the pain perception these two have) can happen when Matt is happy and feels loved (and therefore obviously decides he can be a mouthy little shit again).
