A) Emotional blackmail
example: Keeping the submissive in a constant state of fear that the relationship will end if they don't get their way.
B) Emotional Withdrawal

Refusing any/all intimacy as a punishment which can be quite damaging and reinforces the fear that the submissive will lose the relationship unless he/she gives into this type of blackmail.
