ORIGINAL: BitaTruble If you think she went to far, then it was your responsiblity to stop it. Your safety is in your own hands. There's risk in WIITWD and you choose to take that risk. You broke things off, and it sounds as if you will know better next time. Chalk this one up to a life lesson, but from my perspective, nope, she didn't go to far. You did. Celeste (edited: I see above that the OP did reply and his story is supported by another poster. However I think my questions in general are valid) Just a question and this is not a question directed at BitaTruble but at the thread in general -- I, myself, am included in the people who should answer these questions. I have asked them in my head all ready before I replied. If the situation is as the OP described and he was bound and he was surrounded by three people -- the woman and two men -- how exactly is he supposed to have stopped it? Given what he posted, why would saying "no" or a safeword (there was not mention of these) have done anything? Given that he seemed surprised by the situation and probably afraid, why would he even have thought that fighting or saying "no" would do much good? People asking for more information given that almost immediately the scenario was questioned, why would someone who might be feeling very upset by this situation offer us any more? And one final question. If the OP had been female, do you think your response to the described situation would have been different? I hope that I, myself, would not treat this situation any differently if the OP had been female. I hope that I, myself, have given the OP enough empathy and offered general encouragement to deal with the situation. If this was a wank or fake post then I do not feel I have lost anything by offering my comfort and empathy -- if it turns out to be fake then I will have learned to not offer the OP such responses (or any response likely) in the future. I know that errors happen in scenes. I know that miscommunication can be terrible. But I also know that abuse hides in scenes at times as well. I hope this case is one of the first two but I sadly would not be too surprised if it were the third situation.
