This may bore some people, but it's my story. My "limits" are my own morals and ethics. Obviously, time doesn't permit me to go into great detail, but I would like to use this opportunity to get on a soap box (sort of). I've been a member of this website for almost a decade (I joined in '06 sometime; under the name "Satyr6406"). I have been involved in this lifestyle for quite a bit longer than that. It never ceases to amaze me that certain things get merged when it's not necessarily the case. Because I was abused, physically, emotionally, and sexually, as a young'un, I find no pleasure in most "violent" play. Oh, sure, some light flogger play is okay and smacking an ass is "normal", as far as I'm concerned, but that's where it ends for me. In my case, especially, "Dominant ≠ Sadist". You see, young boys that are abused usually go one of two ways; they become abusers, themselves or they become protectors ... "white knights" ... Daddy types. Then, we get into ethical questions. When I'm "single and dating" (I haven't been for quite some time), any lady I so much as meet for a soda (I don't drink coffee) knows that I am meeting others for a soda. I try with all my might to be painstakingly honest with everyone in every situation. Obviously, this doesn't bode well for "office politics" situations. People would rather hear a comfortable lie than an uncomfortable truth. I do try to always remember that honesty without compassion is brutality, but I'd be lying, if I said that I didn't sometimes miss the mark. Of course, all of this is in addition to the usual "no kids/animals/shit" limits that most of us incorporate. Michael
