ORIGINAL: Koldztone Hello all...i am new but I just started going into BDSM particulary S & M and a female Sadist told me that a Sadist's limits are just how much she can do to the Sub/Slave/Bottom before he calls out for the safeword, and what can she do to him that her conscience will let her live with. She said that some Subs/Slaves think they can fill a cup in their Mistresses, that a number of lashes, a level of damage, a quota of pain and damage will fill her tank and leave her happy, but she said that it is the other way around, that Sadism never runs out, it just tries to fill the Sub/Slave's cup, his capacity to take pain and damage without going over the edge of the cup. She said that being with a Sadist is like being with a Vampire, as much as you love her to let her drink your blood, her thirst has no real limit, but that doesn't mean you can let her dry you up and kill you or slowly wear you down and suck the life out of you like a plant dries and withers. Is she telling me the truth? Maybe you're giving a very poor account of your friend's account of the limits a sadist can have. Some people-on-the-bottom may view things as your friend describes. Other could hardly care less what, if anything, the sadist derives from the pain transaction; they may be in it very selfishly for the pain they seek. A wide range of other possibilities, varying along numerous dimensions, are also familiar to me, none of which seem to fit anywhere in your friend's pat little two-dimensional scheme. If the first question you care to ask after hearing something like what she told you is: "Is this true?" it might be well to open up the way you encounter oinformation as you begin exploring all this. There are a lot of important ways to evaluate information, particularly opinions, which aren't focused solely or even primarily on truth/falsity. If your friend meant to provide the framework of a sort of mythic narrative which a person or a couple could inhabit as a framework for their experiences, that's one thing. I can see her account succeeding in that way for some people some of the time. I doubt she meant to indicate that what was mentioned is the entire range of limits a sadist could have. If she did mean that she just said a silly thing for which she might apologize and be excused. I hope you get a chance to talk with her further, and that when you do you encounter what she says in a broader, more imaginative way than simply to wonder whether it is True or False. Best of luck
