Houston, we have a limit

[Cirrus]

Yay!!! I think...

Found one limit today...finally. After weeks of trying. I was almost convinced I didn't have one.

It was an afternoon like any other when He busted out the paddle. Typical varnished wood, Catholic schoolish type paddle. Let me see it in broad daylight, too. A little apprehensive, but I usually am when we try a new toy or activity...that's part of it. I love that part of it.

He warmed me up (pun intended) with his soft leather belt. That, I can take. That, I like. Stingy, but good. Then He picked up the paddle and ran it over my skin so I would know it was there. The first stroke was fine...about at the upper limit of what I still consider good, erotic pain. The second was, well...interesting.

He didn't hit me that hard. 1/2 strength maybe. But it HURT. There were good sensations in there but there was a pain I wanted to push out, too. Not all bad, but not all good either. Whatever it was literally knocked the breath out of me and put a knot in the pit of my stomach. Yeah, it hurt...but I can't put my finger on what it was about that sensation that made me use the yellow word.

I didn't safeword...to me, personally, the safeword is only to be used when I feel overwhelmed...for when I feel claustrophobic, unsafe, emotionally overwrought, or have some sort of physical problem. I won't use my safeword to announce a limit...I'll use it when I need it. He wouldn't be disappointed if I did safeword...but I want to see how much I can take for ME (topping from the bottom?)

So...that was my day. Thoughts? Similar experiences? Have you ever passed a limit like this and how did you do it?

Yes, there are a few instances where I found a limit, if not the act, how it was committed and pushed past it. (Details would be far too much info! )


Even though we talked later and decided to change how we did it, I still felt extremely enmeshed in my submission by the fact that I got through the scene without the safe word.

Yes, like you, for me the safe word isn't to be used unless it is a dire and potentially catastrophic situation.


Sometimes, do other subs tolerate something particularly uncomfortable for the sake of pleasing their Dom?

In some respects, I think submission includes this piece. Even though you may not have enjoyed the paddle, you knew he wouldn't harm you and knew that by finishing , he would be pleased. (Just a guess )

Yes, I have.

The only thing was - it didn't really please Robuck. He hadn't realise he had caused me real pain, and because I didn't safe word when perhaps I ought to have done, he carried on.

I do tend to try and take just a little more than I feel I can, and sometimes that is a bad thing. Often though it has sent me flying high
