ORIGINAL: MistressAinCT I posted this on another board on another site, so I'm interested in what you have to say about it. I left it in General so everyone can post. I have always believed that hitting someone in a rage is not a good idea no matter who I'm angry with. I think this can cause great injury if someone is beaten or hit when I'm seeing RED. It's best a person leave Me alone for an undetermined amount of time, especially when My anger is directed at them. I'm not talking about "punishing" a slave, I'm talking about having maybe a shitty day then taking it out on him/her. I have seen some posts on this and some other site where people use play as "getting out their aggressions" and I was wondering what others thought about it. I have heard slaves say "take your bad day out on me" which I know is a cry for play/attention, but do they REALLY want Me to do that? I had one slave tell Me he wanted to be beaten so badly that he wouldn't be able to stand up after (a fantasy, I know, but he was SERIOUS). I told him to go home, that NO responsible person would do no matter how sadistic they were but alas, I have seen it with My own two eyes at clubs. I agree whole heartedly that SSC is compromised-hell, COMMON SENSE is compromised- and yet, it still exists where someone somewhere will take an implement and wail on some poor, unsuspecting sub just because something pissed them off that day. If a person has such anger issues they feel they have to BEAT another human being, or HIT just for the sake of hitting, they should probably not be into BDSM. We know that even the lightest play can cause serious problems like internal bleeding, deep black and blue marks, kidney bruising, etc. Imagine what an all out assualt would bring. Anger Management is better. What if a Dominant is having more than just ONE bad day-what if its a bad WEEK (been there, done that) or month or YEAR? As a Dominant and Top, I have seen subs/bottoms go into subspace during some intense play-and its wonderful. However, I have to know when to STOP when they can't safe because their adrenaline or endorphins are running. That is MY responsibility as a safe player. I don't care if it disappoints them, I am in charge. And I have to keep a cool head. If I push those limits because I am ANGRY, who is going to suffer the most? If I lose that perspective because some asshole driver cut Me off and I was pissed, what is going to happen? Bottoms/submissives have to TRUST the tops to stop when either has too much, but if you are enraged and can't judge, a safeword could make you ANGRIER! Your sub might say "take it out on me" but he or she also knows that you will stop if it gets too much: what if you can't? When does it stop being loving play, and start becomming all out brutality just to satisfy a Dominant's need to vent? Is BDSM an excuse sometimes, to hit another human being without repercussions? OK, never, NEVER play when you are angry. The first rule of being a Dom is mastering yourself. If you are having a bad day, congratulations, you are an adult. Do not have a childish tantrum and break your toys. More importantly, your submissive is a person, have the dignity to not see them as a toy. If you don't have the self respect, self control and inner strength to get this, you have no business being on the top side. The second rule is that she or he is trusting you to use the control properly. They may belong to you, but you have an obligation to not forget that they are people who care about you. Anger is a form of loosing control. Further, given that we play intensely as it is, if you are out of control the risk of going too far is deeply magnified. You will be even more upset in prison. YOU MUST CARE ABOUT YOUR SUBMISSIVE AND RESPECT THEM. THE MOST DANGEROUS THING FOR ONE OF THEM IS A NARCISSISTIC DOM/ME
