ORIGINAL: maitreDuAcier Limits should be sacrosanct. Do limits change over time? Yes, but during a scene, or even while in my presence I never let a submissive of mine remove a limit, nor would I indicate my wish for them to. Can we discuss it outside the scene? Yes, because these limits can give insights to the submissive. Generally when I first become involved I tell my sub to go off, take a few days, think inward and draw up a list of limits. Over time and with trust some may be removed, but others are "hard limits" and they exsist for good reason. It is my job as a conscientious Dominate to keep those limits during our time together, as a sub can quite often wish to please and remove limits. I cannot allow that. I'm sorry to say, it seems to me that you and your Mis may be incompatable. If pain were a hard limit for a sub I couldn't really get involved with them. I've been involved with subs who started out not realizing that they wanted or needed the pain, but they also didn''t have pain as a limit. It all boils down to: can you each obtain the exchange you need from the relationship? Also, over time some hard limits can become soft limits and pushing those limits are possible through negotiation. One word of caution: Move slowly and take into consideration the amount of trust involved here. After all, hard limits are such for a reason. In addition, I'm always careful when discussing why someone would change them. Growth is a good reason for me, but for the sake of pleasing me is not a reason good enough to make a hard limit into a soft one, in my opinion. LBO
