How much is too much? Bruising normal?

This was my first ever session as a submissive. While it was very painful during the session, I did not feel the need to use my safe word. I was shocked to see the amount of bruising after. I don't know if this is "typical." I know that's hard to define.....I just wonder if I am aware when I need to use my safe word?

Well, only you can decide when to use your safeword. There's no shame in using it either, it's there to protect you and your top. If you don't think you need to use it, then I suppose you're ok. Since you say it's your first time having done this, have you looked at information about the risks involved? Are you and your dominant taking precautions?

Bruising varies from person to person. Some people bruise really easy, others it takes quite a bit. You'll probably know with time how your body reacts and you'll have a better understanding of what will cause bruising and what won't as you go along. I'll leave this link here in case you'd like to know more about the risks involved with trauma to the breasts.

Also, that isn't to scare you, just to encourage you and your partner to make informed decisions when it comes to rough play. Stay safe and have fun.

I think you're the only person who can say how much is too much. Some people bruise more than others, some less. How do you feel mentally as well as physically? Can you function? Do you like the bruises? I hate the "everyone is a unique snowflake" response, but it's sort of true in this case. It's your call.

I operate as a top so I don't have experience with bruising from something like this. But I do donate blood. Sometimes the bruise is the size of a dime. One time it went almost from my wrist to just under my armpit. They've also faded in a week and other times faded in a few days to in one case over a month. Point is there is a wide range of variation. As long as you're feeling safe and respected.

I've had similar bruising on my breasts and elsewhere after an incredibly erotic and memorable day with a dominant but very kind man. It definitely wasn't too much, but then again... I bruise easily. And I was actually sad when the bruises faded away within a week or so.

It helps that you have very yummy tits. that's not too much bruising for me, but it is in kind of an odd pattern. Can I ask what was done to you?
