For me it is anything that permanently changes the functioning of my or my partner's body. Sprains, bruises, scars, etc is all ok, actually at this point they're normal. My comfortable level with play effecting my body is something that has changed over time. One of my labia semi-accidentally was stretched by my dom boyfriend when I was 19. At the time I was kinda upset, and was completely not ok with any permanent marking or changes in my body from play. These days on average I pick up at least 1 new scar a month, and injuries that follow me around for weeks. I'm not ok with anything that permanently changes sensation, scars and marks I can't cover or provide a vanilla explanation for while at work. If I was doing a high risk scene that I totally wanted to do and broke a bone or lost a tooth, I probably wouldn't be upset (hell almost broke my nose last night). I don't see any of this escalating to me wanting body parts chopped off. Today is more of a realization and comfort level of things I have craved for years. quote:

ORIGINAL: Awareness Personally, anything which violates psychological or physiological integrity. I see people talking about injuring each other and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out they're all kinds of fucked up. People spend far too much time in a relativist maze with the final judgment being "Well they're happy" - which is kind of stupid. In my case, there's an essential question which must be answered: "Is this healthy?", with various considerations of physical and psychological health. I suspect most practitioners either don't ask that question or don't possess anywhere near the capacity to answer it - and so they just ignore it. These happen to be exactly the questions I ask myself. Friends of mine who play to similar degrees also ask themselves these questions. Friends who have gone a few steps further than I would go have put months and years into deciding what they are willing to do, why, and weighing the potential consequences. I didn't just decide , "well I don't give a shit what happens" it was a long process of setting and communicating my limits. There was a lot of figuring me out involved.
