MyCaptainsPet -> Hard limits. (1/25/2006 7:00:12 PM)
Do you have them? Are they physical, emotional or both? i've come face to face with and emotional one recently and no matter what He tries or does, i can't seem to own up to the fact its there. What do you all do when faced with a hard limit?

What do you all do when faced with a hard limit? What do you mean you can't own up to the fact that its there? Is this the same he from before or a new he? And if it's a new he, that's a speedy transition. When faced with a hard limit, you say no. That's what a hard limit/limit is. Being a bottom/sub/slave means taking responsibility for your own limits and choices.

What do you all do when faced with a hard limit? Yes, I have hard limits. I have less now than when I first started this journey, but I still have them. Mine are physical in nature not emotional. Why is this? Well because I believe that each person chooses their emotions and reactions. Some do this consciously and some unconsciously and some do both. When I react to a situation viscerally, I try to mentally step back and examine where the feeling is coming from and if it is the one that I want to be having. What do I do when I am faced with a hard limit? Well, first I have already communicated with whoever it is what they are, so I am guessing that you mean what if they still are interested. For me, I talk to the individual and explain why something is a hard limit. Perhaps there is an alternative ie watersports instead of scat), or something that is lower down on my "limit-scale" (ie a butt-plug instead of anal-fisting). I am a curious person, and so I enjoy expanding my boundries. However some hard limits will always be hard limits (ie no branding). It would help if I knew what the emotional boundry that you are facing is, but in general it is always a good idea to bring the emotion to a conscious level, examine it, and make it a part of yourself and your personal life experiance. Knowing why you feel something and where that feeling is coming from will reduce your anxity about it, and then you will be able to discuss it rationally and without reservation. Good luck, LaMalinche ------------------------------------------------------------------- If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't.

"Is this the same he from before or a new he? And if it's a new he, that's a speedy transition."" i think you have me confused with someone else... It's kind of like the big white elephant sitting in the living room. Everyone knows it's there but no one wants to talk about it.

I am the same way, my hard limits are only physical. But this makes me wonder if this can apply to the body as well as the mind, since a lot if not most of us as subs already do this to a degree with physical physical sensations. shrugs shoulders only one way to find out

Well, my Captain and i love sexual adventures. FFM, MFM, MFMF, those kinds of things.. Recently he's been toying with the idea of us playing seperately from each other. i just don't want to be with anyone alone, nor can i stand the thought of him being with someone without me there. i seem to have developed a green streak a mile wide.

What do you all do when faced with a hard limit? Try to work through it, with the full awareness that it may take time. At some points it may be incumbent on your dominant to push the envelope on it as well. But a lot of it has to do with you doing internal work and really being dedicated towards working through your feelings. C~

Arpig -> RE: Hard limits. (1/25/2006 9:46:30 PM)
I would say tell him. if you don't speak up, he will probably not know how you feel about it. Not liking something and saying so does not make you any less of a submissive. And Doms are not mind readers you know, never assume he understands hints or innuendo, we men are notoriously bad at that.

classykindasassy -> RE: Hard limits. (1/25/2006 11:13:14 PM)
Yes I do have hard limits. An example would be I won't allow certain things up the backdoor that I think would jeopardize health and the long-term wellbeing of my backside. As a punishment recently my dom started cutting up a ginger root for figging. Now I know some swear by that and I'm not saying it's wrong. But for me it did not seem healthy and safe and I protested on the basis of my hard limit (already discussed) re what goes up there. Like so many others, no poop, no kids. And some things that used to be hard limits are becoming malleable. I used to say no needles. Now, my dom is a paramedic and I'd like him to give me permanent piercings but he declines from his professional wisdom. I used to say no watersports, but would now accept this as a punishment. At one time I said no cages. But, I have done that now. As time goes on and you see things done, you realize some of what you thought intolerable gets to be imaginable. But, I think most of us will still choose to retain hard limits.

What do you all do when faced with a hard limit? Yes, I do and they are both. When faced with a hard limit, it remains my hard limit and I do not go beyond it. If it's something I can possibly bend or negotiate on in some situations or with the right person, then it's not a hard limit. I try to be as clear as possible in expressing what they are and if intentionally violated or I feel at risk, I end things. Sometimes it's not easy doing so or saying "NO" on something, but they are my hard limits for good reasons. If ever they become negotiable or riskable again, then they get moved off that list... but not because I'm at the moment feeling pressured or tempted, rather because of serious thought and personal care-taking.

quote: What do you all do when faced with a hard limit? I'm not sure, exactly, what you mean. If it's a hard limit, I don't come face to face with it as it simply isn't done, ever. It's not pushed, prodded, discussed or considered because all that is done prior to begging for or accepting the collar of someone ... at least for me. Celeste

sweetpettjenny -> RE: Hard limits. (1/26/2006 3:22:55 AM)
yes i have a few hard limits, we all do pretty much.

phoenixslave -> RE: Hard limits. (1/26/2006 5:34:55 AM)
i agree with bita truble. hard limits were discussed long ago and don't come up. But i did ask then for unforseen limits. Things can come up you never covered or thought of. And they have though none have been a problem yet. as long as you can talk about it and trust them, it will be okay.

What you mean is, he's been toying with the idea of fucking other women without having you around, and trying to make things seem more appealling by getting you to fuck other people when he's not around. But it's not appealling because you enjoy those things only because he is also a part of it and would feel the relationship had been violated, as well as less meaningful in his life if he fucked another woman without needing/wanting you there. You guys have a lot of talking ahead. Figure out exactly why he wants it, exactly what it means and what it doesn't mean to him. Make sure you communicate what it means and how it makes you feel. See the positives and the negatives. And then decide if this is a relationship that will make you fulfilled.

Our orginal limits were discussed when we before we started this type of relationship. My limits have changed with my growth and I have been the one to tell him that they have change. It is part of our 'job' to make our partner know what we are thinking and feeling... they are not mind readers ya know.... But this is just me. 1st Girl Phoenix

I just thought that I would add this for your sanity.... I also have a green streak a mile wide. My Dragon and I do not 'play' with others outside our home seperately. I know that I would have a distinct reaction if he proposed this after all this time togeter. 1st Girl Phoenix

I have played separately with other females (with His permission and encouragement) but we both have agreed no other males will touch me sexually when we are in a group situation. I have a hard time with other males watching but have overcome this somewhat by using a blindfold (if I can't see them then they're not there [;)] ) Master is always present during these times anyway. Other hard limits apart from the usual ones - gags, breath play, face slapping, needles, blood play and humiliation (apart from gentle teasing by Master in private). I am prepared to work on the gag one, perhaps starting off with a scarf or something just to see how I go, and have a signal in place in case I start to panic.

mnottertail -> RE: Hard limits. (1/26/2006 6:41:23 PM)
Like so many others, what were they 10 years ago and what will they be 10 years from now..........hard limits the size of SSC or RACK are feasable, it is somewhat (almost) miasmatic yes or no; after? Some things don't even need saying but yes they do.......reasonable is just that..........
