(This should be of no interest to the strictly d/s or b/d people. S&Mers might want to read further, or might not) I'm not talking about some sort of emotional or psychological breaking down. I'm talking about bones, connective tissue, and that big connective tissue: skin. If you want to bring in eyeballs and eardrums I think the likelihood of permanence of any damage rules them out of this discussion. Teeth? You make the call, I mean a little drilling here or there. Breaking off chunks would be too edgy for me. What is ruled in or out for you when it comes to breaking your partner, physically? I'm not proposing anything permanent, mind you, like a tattoo <shudder> (ugly, hateful things they are.) Just temporary stuff like, say, broken toes, sprained ankles, even broken legs if you want to go there. Every bruise involves the breaking of vasculature, I think, and a lot subs like to wear bruises. Would you be willing to wear a cast or a crutch? Could you get off on it? If you are into permanent stuff like tattoos or heavy scarification, could you graciously receive the gift of, say, a permanent limp? I'm just asking. As we know from frequent repetiton of the cliche, some people believe that a "real" dominant/master/top does not "break his toys", so we don't so much need to hear from those folks again here. And we can respect the position they hold whether we agree or disagree. Does the idea of this sort of serious, enduring but mostly not permanant damaging appeal to you? Does it appeal only at the level of fantasy or would you or have you engaged intentionally in it? Lots of skin breaking goes on around here what with piercings and so forth. Knife play can take it farther. Skin-breaking is clearly temporary, since skin mends itself. Scarring can be more enduring, often permanent, of course. The scarring could be seen as an incidental side-effect or as the whole point of the exercise. How do you see it? Having discused skin-breaking we leave the territory on which a lot of kink literature is available. I don't see bone-and ligament-breaking kinks discussed much, for some reason. Whichever kind of physical breaking you'd like to discuss, how far would you be willing to take it with the optimal situation and partner? With the partner you happen to have? How far does your thinking go before it all goes from hot to squick, even as fantasy? Does it not even get to step one? Would you like to see if these these amps go to eleven? ('cause I mean if we're left with an amp I think it's safe to say you took it to eleven.) Do you think it would be an amazing bonding experience to look deeply into your partner eyes as he or she progressively bent your finger back, the pain building steadily and steeply to a brilliant burst accompanied by that characteristic pencil-snapping-underwater sound, and the wave of nausea that usually follows? Or not so much, really? (edited to add that dominants should feel free to chime in from their side of the ... bench vise, or whatever)
