Where do I " personally draw the line" ? It's a simple place for me : the line is where my pretty one has negotiated limits with me. Or, it can be argued that that's where she draws the line. I followed the TPE thread, too- it was like it had power over me and I couldn't stop myself. lolol!! It actually seems to be slowing down as of this morning, but who knows? We live D/s 24/7 and we grow as we go along, sometimes in baby steps andsometimes in bigger steps , but we haven't gone TPE yet. We talk about it now and then, and we agree that we may be heading there, but, today, I'm satisfied with what I call another TPE for the time being : true power exchange. Her limits are few regarding BDSM, and even the majority of them weren't " hard" as over time I've carefully and slowly pushed afew of them, to our mutual satisfaction. It's funny ina way - I topped for almost 4 decades before coming into the "lifestyle" about 3 years ago, and I was way rougher with my women then than I am now. But of course it, I, was all about kink then(a seperate topic). 2 reasons that I've accepted this - a) she scares easier than my past partners. I've never projected or wanted to project an atmosphere of fear in my relationships, but some things which were mainstay's in my life and readily not only accepted but desired by partners in the past aren't healthy for her and if I wanted her for more than a casual thing I had to make some choices.And again, it was all about sex then, for both me an my partners. I've set some things aside but have gained what I started seeking 3 years back - true PE, and, b) the second reason is much more mundane and much less philisophical : she'd be more open to exploring some- not all, but some - of those things herself but she can't physically endure some of it. I struggled with it for some time, as I was used to pushing some envelopes but if she physically can't contort to some of the bondage or take some of the manhandling which I enjoy then that's simply "the line" I won't cross. But, as I said, I'm not just topping(not that there's anything wrong with topping if that's all one wants) now, and I'm getting more in the big picture. And as for my pretty one, she's very self aware. Her submission is has been well and long thought out - a lifestyle choice which she didn't lightly enter, and she knows what she can and can't taketherefore has her "lines". Which is pretty healthy in my mind, and the way I want it....... I know the op was talking physical stuff but I'm going to elaborate just a bit on the other lines, non BDSM. They're becoming almost non existent, as I oversee virtually every aspect of her life. How she budgets her finances, her attire, her diet, etc. I'm far from hands off with her kids, and that's only because she has come to trust me in that area of her life, but she makes final decisions there. I also don't interfere in her work- she needs to vent about it and she asks for advice, but she has to make final decisions as ti the content of her work. And I don't bother her there, she needs to be focused once she walks in the door. But,she's expected to call me on her breaks and she doesn't accept overtime or changes to her schedule without firstchecking with me. The non BDSM lines are fading and getting harder to even see........
