The way I look at it, limits "shouldn't" be a problem, because the people in the relationship should have the same ones. I use the quotes because I am describing the kind of relationship that appeals to me, personally. Limits, to me, are things I believe to be morally wrong or physically damaging. To me, my limits are my moral/ethical/self preservational foundation. I think that a in relationship that succeeds, those limits are the same between all partners. I can say I have no limits with my partner, because we share a moral structure, and have no desire to cause physical harm (actual harm) to each other. So, I guess I don't think it's a right to have limits, so much as an obligation to be clear about your standpoint. I don't think we're obligated to compromise our morality, but I think that it's very very good to know that these things match -before- becoming owner and owned. Also, re: recourse. If someone won't accept your limits, you don't have to be with them. If they aren't ok with what you won't do, there isn't anything that requires you stay, or start a realtionship. So...recourse? Leave or don't be with them.
