The Bartender's Secret Discipline Night

I've been working as a bartender at the local pub for years now. It’s not just a job, it's my sanctuary, where I can forget about everything outside these walls and focus on mixing drinks and serving patrons. One of my regular customers, whom we’ll call Alex, is a bit younger than me and has always struck me as someone who needs guidance in his life. We became friends, and over time, it evolved into something more intense, me being his Daddy figure, and him finding comfort and stability in that dynamic. The thing is, I don’t just take on this role when we’re out; sometimes, after he’s been drinking too much and behaving recklessly at the bar, I’ll ask him to stay behind after hours. This isn't a casual chat, this is serious Daddy time. I’ve got a special room set up in the basement of my apartment complex that no one else knows about. It's fully equipped for light discipline when needed. When we get there, he’s usually pretty drunk and can be quite belligerent. This is when things get tricky but also rewarding. I’ll sit him down and explain why his behavior isn't acceptable, that kind of stuff doesn’t happen in my space. Then comes the real challenge: getting him to calm down and face the consequences. It involves a bit of verbal discipline, some light spanking, and sometimes even wearing diapers as a reminder that he needs to be more responsible. People often talk about power dynamics, but there’s something incredibly intimate and real when you’re guiding someone back on track after they’ve lost their way. The first time I had him wear a diaper post-discipline session was eye-opening for both of us, it felt like a step deeper into the dynamic. Here’s where it gets interesting: some people might see this as crossing a line, but Alex never seems to mind. He finds it comforting and is always eager to get back to normalcy after a rough night out. Still, I'm wondering if others would consider this a problem or just an unusual form of adult guidance. So, here’s my question: Am I the asshole for taking this kind of approach? Or am I helping someone by being there when they need it most?
