^^ i agree; if you feel there is no way you could do it, there's no reason to make yourself do it just because she wants to. you can both wander off and find someone else more compatible to play with. that said, there are women who do enjoy punching and "rough body play" as they call it (*raises hand*) without necessarily having a past of similar physical abuse, or who are also not aware of the risks involved. it's an interesting sensation. i like hands-on-ness and physicality, and while i like toys and implements, i'm also very interested in the sensations that one body can cause on another. i also like fear and this kind of play taps into that. like Aileen said, it's about being aware of the risks, and being a consenting participant. if something happens without someone's consent, then it's abuse. injury on it's own doesn't necessarily constitute abuse. i've twisted ankles, broken a toe, and actually gotten a concussion, but at no time have i called it "abuse" and i was a willing and happy participant in the events leading up to the mishaps. sometimes it's just hard to plan for every silly little contingency -- like i never would've thought that a choking game would lead to a broken toe, even though we were prepared for all the other more obvious risks. i would like to know what signals she's giving you that lead you to think she was abused and wants someone else to abuse her. that isn't necessarily true of someone who wants to play this way. if you don't want to do it, no one's holding a gun to your head making you do it. just decline. p.s. AND please don't feel that you have to hover over her and steer her away from her choices. being a friend and giving advice is a good thing, but sometimes when people dont like an activity that you like, they go out of their way to stop you from participating in it or enjoying it. she's (hopefully) a rational adult who can make sound decisions on her own.
