ORIGINAL: HeavansKeeper <QR> I'm astonished that anyone would use hard limits as a punishment. I might be a softey, but I feel that using such valued personal information as a punishment truely diminishes trust. I'm not against working on hard limits to see if they can be changed, though. Although I classify myself as a Dom, I've played sub roles. (For me, submission is a kink) If the person dominant to me used my claustrophobia as a punishment, I'd never confide in them again. Hard limits are part of the terms of the D/s contract. It doesn't matter how the Master views the hard limit. In my eyes, a hard limit says "I do not give you permission to use me in this way." To cross that line borders rape and assault. I'm not one to make waves, but I will here. Any Dom who uses a sub's hard limits as a punishment is a fool. A fool not worthy of leadership. That being said, the sub has the responsibility to seperate "I really hate that." and "That is a hard limit." HelloHeavansKeeper. We agree. It diminishes trust and that's why it is stupid. As for the crossing the line of a hard limit, I do not find it borders rape...it is rape, pure and simple. RL. I would not go so far as calling it rape. Now if the hard limit is carried out while the sub can't do anything about it ( bound, gagged) then it's another story. With the situation, She can still say no. She can still walk away. But to be clear, I think the guy is a snake. I think pushing this issue is a huge violation of trust. I was in a situation once where I had a hard limit pushed. (mosty I feel it was miscommunication and I learned after the fact how to state NO very clearly) but it was pushed and I did do what I said I wouldn't. Now at anytime I could have walked away from the situation. I was not bound, and I did it on my own accord. Afterwards, I felt like hell. I could hardly look at myself in the mirror. I hated myself for awhile. BUT one thing was very clear. It was my choice. Yes, he pushed for it, he orchastrated it, but I DIDN'T SAY NO. I could have. But for my own misguided reasons I didn't. I had to take the blame for it. At the end of the day, it's just you and that image of yourself in the mirror. You are responsable for you. It's great and all to put your trust in your Dom or Domme but truely you cannot be made to do anything you do not consent to. (Unless you are locked in a basement, gagged, bound, etc etc), or if your in one of those No Limit relationships (which is a totally different subject altogther)
