ORIGINAL: Focus50 Just curious to all those with the "no" means "NO!" mantra. Or "no, stop, don't" etc.... I mean, this is a D/s site afterall and I can't be the only Dom whose heard a sub crying/moaning "no/stop/don't" at the height of pleasure/pain passion while knowing damned well she's having a great time. The very reason we, and many nillas, have agreed safewords is because "no" often DOESN'T MEAN "NO!" at all.... I think many of the primal urges D/s enables us to explore are taboo to general egalitarian society and this has some influence on a sub's psyche when passion overcomes reason and she starts saying "no" when she means the exact opposite. Me, I'm so aware of it that, esp during pain play, I've checked in with her by specifically asking her to say her safeword in case she's lost the ability to, as happens with sub-space. I only continue if she can say the safeword but confirms she's not actually safewording per se'. Then I go by what I've learnt/learning of her general body language.... Actually, sub-space (or not) makes a pretty good guide as to what "no" means. At least, during play.... Focus. I agree completely Focus! And this idea of "no" meaning "NO!" during actual play is not exactly what I had in mind when I asked the question. You're right, that's what we have safe-words for. My original post was more along the lines of "No, I don't really want to play tonight" etc. and of how that is exhibiting an un-submissive attitude from the sub. Anyway... thanks for all your insight so far, I've enjoyed reading your posts.
