I agree with what the Dommes are saying.  I think it's worth pointing out, from a maledom perspective, that a woman telling me she has no limits is as much of a turn-off as a woman pretending to be dumb because she thinks all men are intimidated by women who are smart.

For example, Underworld026, I just made a mental note never to hit on you, because you said slaves don't have (or get?)  hard limits.  You might not care, or you might think I am being totally harsh, but the fact is that I respect a woman more if she knows everyone has limits.

Ditto TNStepsout.  Depends on what said "Hard Limit" is. 

Don't want to eat fecal matter?  Not a problem... wasn't going to ask that anyway.  Don't want to eat your own semen... I'm gonna push that one.  Don't want to be cut up, tattooed or pierced?  Not a problem.  Don't want to feel the lash?  We have issues.

Had a sub a long time ago who's hard limit was "No sex with a married woman."  Naturally, that only made me want him.  Worked on that boy for THREE YEARS before I got what I wanted.  He was dreadful.  I dropped him.  Wasn't pretty.  Therefore, MY hard limit is now "No sex with the subs".   If they can't deal with that... they need to move along.

On the other hand, I do take exception to people who want to protect their own personal squicks. A good example is men who absolutely freak at the thought of any contact from men whatsoever.

If someone has too many of those, well then I begin to wonder what they are doing here in the first place.


In general, I agree with every thing else you said TN, but I have to wonder if you're leaving out the possibility of emotional harm in pushing someone's "personal squicks".  Unless you know why those squicks are there, I don't think it's fair to judge them as being frivolous (my words, not yours).  I agree though, that if they have too many of them, they may not be emotionally stable enough to be in this lifestyle.  Then again, to each their own...

I don't.

However, anyone participating with me better think be sure of MY limits because they, and me, are what will control the dynamic and the scene. It serves a  two fold purpose. It insures that anyone I'm with knows me enough to trust me with relinquishing that control. It insures that I'm not serving as a sensation facilitator akin to a variable speed vibrator under the control of the user.

I agree that when we push someone's personal squick's as you call them you run the risk of causing emotional damage. I think before you push someones limits you need to find out why they are there and if it is healthy to push them.

Nope, I didn't say "frivolous" I said "ridiculous" *grins*

But I do agree with you and as SweetNika commented, you have to know someone well before you push limits.  The limits I was thinking of were those that are less of an emotional nature, and more of a pre-conceived notion nature. As in the example, a man who is absurdly homophobic really needs to get over it. That's just not a balanced healthy way to be. Now if he was that way due to trauma of some kind, that would be a different matter. I would certainly tread carefully (if at all) on those limits, but if it's just because he's been brought up that way, or has these notions that it would make him a "fag" etc... well we'd need to talk.

What Ms. Mia said.

"I believe that submissves and slaves have things called "hard limits".

As odd as this may seem, there are many men that will not engage in this
{and other} activities because they are "hard limits".

There is nothing wrong with having " hard limits".
I would not want a person that did not have any "hard limits".
As a Dominant, I have "hard limits". "


I do see slaves as different though. They have so few limits.

Thanks MistressDolly!
I just rarely see men mention they have "hard limits",

around here.
Which is funny, when we know they do!
If a man tells me, he has NO limits......I am getting away from him!

I always think it's silly when people say they don't have limits. We all do it's part of human nature.

When I'm talking to a s-type and he says he has no limits. I push it, I ask about having control over relationships involving family, friends and work it normally is awake up call. I have yet to have anyone (that I believe to be real) to be ok with that. Someone maybe open to a lot of different experinces but you can always find something which they freak out about.

I like subs who like what we're doing.  I am not one of those posturing dominants who likes to drone on about how my property gets no choices.  Subs who enjoy themselves come back to serve eagerly next time.

How'd you get up to 25? I normally just pick one or two and it makes them "safeword".

Usually when someone asks what do you think of all these slaves with limits - they often mean unowned slaves, with whom they have been trying to corrospond, hoping to find them nolimits - uhm - NOW.
I get bashed on the boards fairly regulary for being to 'no limits'.
Yet collarme is also where i did some searching before i met Master. On the other side, i regularly heard from Doms who thought i had FAR too many limits to call myself a slave.
See, here's the thing - i always knew that i was searching for one in whom i could place enough trust to give up all my limits.
But, until i am owned, i have a shit pot full of limits. don't like them? that's okay with me, no hard feelings, move along.
that's the way limits, or the lack of them, work. they get dripped as you build trust. With someone i'm negotating with, and still unowned, sex was against my hard limits. really. and - pretty much everything else in the world.
i was regularly and often assured a woman with my attitude would never find someone willing to claim her.
<smile> and yet, there He is, in the next room, and it is time for me to go tell Him goodnight, and wait for him to join me, and chain me to the bed. g'night, y'all.
