ORIGINAL: Bhruic It strikes me as very possible that such a person might not get a very satisfying feeling of "being forced" to do something, if it is something they would happily or indifferently do anyway. This is incorrect, at least for me. I enjoy force because force entails a removal of my choice. He'll make me do it, whether or not I'd comply happily if he were to ask me instead. The part of force play that turns me on is the illusion that my consent is irrelevant. He doesn't care whether I want to or not, even to the point that he doesn't care that it's something I would happily do. All he's taking into account is that he wants to, with my desires not even being on his radar. Of course, that plays out differently when it's something that I would happily do, versus something that I really don't want to do, because the levels of coercion needed to get compliance differ between the two because I react differently, but in the end it's not so much my mindset about the action that's relevant, it's *his* mindset that my consent -in the moment- is irrelevant. It is unclear to me here how your comments illustrate my comment as "incorrect". What part do you consider incorrect? That it is possible that some people might not get off on being forced to do something they don't even have to be forced to do? It is incorrect -at least for me- that that the feeling of being forced is unsatisfying when it's something I'd happily do anyways. This is because, as I explained in my reply, my level of satisfaction in being forced stems from his disregard for my level of consent, not from the level of distaste I have for the action. Whether I enjoy something or not doesn't impact the level of satisfaction I derive from force. That satisfaction is derived from his headspace instead, and therefore has little correlation to my personal feeling about the actions required. quote:

ORIGINAL: Bhruic So I presume that, for such people, not everything they do not want to do qualifies as a hard limit. I don't do heavy force play with people with whom I've got hard limits. For more casual-ish style play, force play is always limited to stuff I do want to do. Primarily because of the risk to the Top in question. (Going to a place where I really don't want to do what he says in the moment, means that in the moment, I'm not consenting and would genuinely try to stop play if I could, which is incredibly risky for the Top involved, which is for casual-ish play, force play stays in the realm of stuff where, if he where to stop, I would again reaffirm consent in the moment and ask him to continue, which doesn't apply with stuff I genuinely don't want to do.) In situations where I engage in genuine force play of the category of stuff I really don't want to do, I don't have hard limits, because I don't engage in that type of play with people who do stuff with me that I'd find genuinely unacceptable. As such its sorta a matter of deferring to whatever hard limits he happens to have, which puts a lot of stuff that I genuinely would hate as well as a bunch of stuff where I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of being forced to do it, solidly on the table. Kana might become a notable exception to this if we end up playing some day, because one of my limits is "stuff that will likely leave permanent marks/scars" (a limit I have not so much because *I* care about those things btw, but because my current and potential future partners might find me less attractive over such marks). So if I end up playing with Kana, it'll be the first time where I engage in genuine force play but impose my hard limits over the hard limits of the Top in question. If I understand correctly, you are essentially saying here that you don't have hard limits in force play, because you only play with people who already instinctively know your hard limits, and will not approach them. Yes. Though I don't ever sit down and define a list of "these are my hard limits" instead I get to know their hard limits, and if they are in line with mine, initiate discussions about force place. I consider it too dangerous to engage in genuine* force play with somebody who's natural and own hard limits are different from mine. Especially because mine can be essentially summed up to "no permanent physical alterations, no acts which blatantly invite law enforcement to get involved". Pretty much most everything else is on the table. *genuine as defined by "actions that I do not want to do so badly that if given the option I would withdraw consent in the moment". quote:
ORIGINAL: Bhruic Which is all well and good, but seems to me not relevant to the initial question. It relates to the question because I indicated -sever times actually- that there are tons of things I genuinely don't want to do that are on the table for force play, and do not fall under the "hard limit" category. quote:

ORIGINAL: Bhruic For those who identify with this scenario... how would you describe the difference between something that you find distasteful or otherwise disagreeable, but that you like being forced to do (a soft limit, perhaps?) from something that you do not, by any means, want to do and consider a hard limit? In part I don't. I consider this type of play incredibly risky for both parties involved and as such accept that the situation might arise where I'm forced to do stuff that I would not want to do by any means and consider a hard limit. [snip] In your case this is understandable, because you do not (if I understood the above) express any hard limits. Even with discussion of hard limits, there may well be a situation that one is not aware is a hard limit, until one is faced with it. That is why - personally - I would not engage in force play without the establishment of a safe word, which seriously mitigates the risk you mention. The precise reason I -no longer- engage in hard limit discussion before engaging in force play is because how easy it is to miss stuff. I've had a case in the past where we had long -weeks long- discussion about hard limits, and I had a comprehensive defined list of stuff I marked "hard limit". Us both feeling confident that we understood each other proceeded, and the very first time we engaged in this type of play he hit one that we both had not realized might be an issue, and our entire carefully negotiated construct fell apart. I cannot, in any meaningful way, construct a list of every action imaginable that ought to be a hard limit. Doing so is entirely impractical because anybody with an ounce of creativity might unintentionally stumble into more, even if the list is a mile long. As such I no longer define a list of mine. Instead I get to know him, his interests and his motives, and judge from there. As far as safe words go, they are not possible for me during force play, because when engaging in genuine force play with me, you will get me to a point where -in the moment- I will withdraw consent if given the option. I will fight to get away, bite, kick, attack you, plead for you to stop, beg, make promises to entice you to stop, issue threats (including on occasion the threat that I'll call the cops after the act), I have passed out (removing the ability for continued consent by means of not calling a safe word), hell I've safe worded hundreds of times in scenes where we had actively negotiated the lack of a safe words in the idle hope that it might get him to stop. If I had a safe word, force play would be impossible, because when the going gets rough, safe wording would be the first thing I'd do.
