ORIGINAL: SirDiscipliner69 Would a Dominant be in the right if they sent a submissive to a hospital for care for what was adminsistered in a session even though it was within the submissive's consent and limits? Wouldn't this be an abuse of trust and responsibility? Should a dominant intentionally physically hurt, not emotionally hurt? Is harm a perception or a reality and how is it defined? Can giving a submissive discipline on a regular basis be percieved as harm as a co enabling of an adictive personality? Ross ©º°¨¨°º© i haven't read all the responses, just kinda scanned them so if i repeat something someone else pointed out forgive me. What i did read in response to his first question is that people are looking at it too literally. i don't think he was actually asking that if a sub was injured should her dom take her to the hospital - i mean really that's a no brainer - what i read in his first question was - should the dominants actions (as being the one ultimately responsible for the subs safety) be called into question if he went over the line and ended up injuring his submissive, even though what he did was still within her "limits" yet maybe against his better judgement. And to this question i would say the dom should do what he feels is safe and good for his sub or you have to question - who's the sub!! If i was injured and it happened within the scope of my consent or limit i would have to definately rethink things. i would also question the ability of my dom to be able to make judgements and yes i would loose trust, but not because i was injured, rather because he was led by my limit and not his own. Injuries can happen and no one's perfect, so if let's say, he tied me to something that broke and i was injured, i would be more apt to not hold him as responsible and be more forgiving. Some subs enjoy emotional pain - i don't, but to each their own. i would think emotional pain is riskier so knowing the sub and going very slowly in this area would be a wise thing to do. Harm is both a perception and a reality - what i consider harm others may not and vice versa - then again a burn, tear (both kinds), a broken bone is obvious. The intent might not have been to harm, but a broken arm still hurts like hell and is harmful. Interesting last question - again depends on the perception of harm and what one considers "an addictive personality"
