ORIGINAL: lovingpet It sounds like to me he had to be saved from the beating. Agreed. The way it was phrased in the OP made it sound as if the woman's female submissive had to intervene to get this domme to stop--this is always a bad sign. The OP states that the domme went too far due to alcohol, rather than the woman just plain being inexperienced/incompetent/insensitive, so I've taken his word for it. My responses to this thread have been based on this interpretation. Once again, in my opinion: the judgment and sensitivity you need to assess your submissive's condition during a scene are exactly the kind of faculties that go bye-bye when you drink. When you're playing with someone you know well and you've built up a sufficient rapport, it may be possible to play much looser and edgier, sure. Getting drunk to beat on a submissive who is not only new to you but apparently hasn't even got much experience with bdsm in general, and has had little chance to learn his own physical/emotional limits in general, strikes me as a bad idea. Are these just my opinions? Sure. Lynxx is making much of the fact that the OP says he enjoys being beaten; I don't. I know from experience that masochists can eroticize/enjoy a lot of dubious experiences. That doesn't necessarily make those things "good" or right, nor does it absolve the dominant from any and all harm she causes, emotional or physical. The ability to let go, relax and enjoy your masochism can be a great blessing, but that blessing is at least partially contingent upon the sanity and judgment of your dominant/sadistic partner. You need to be able to put yourself in the hands of someone cruel--not careless. Upshot is: someone in this equation needs to be "with it" enough to draw the line. Traditionally, this responsibility is on the top's shoulders; probably because it's kind of hard for the bottom to take responsibility when he's bound and gagged and being flogged... Other people may want and need to experience more risk in their play. That's fine if they have already exhausted the fun of lower-risk activities and they're working with other experienced players. I think that context matters quite a lot, however. Do we really need to sell newbies on dangerous and "edgy" play before they get their feet under them? Should we advocate high-risk play as something that's ALWAYS good to do with any partner, any time, any where, no matter what your level of intimacy or experience is? Maybe not. Lynxx's point about how to drive a new car is well-taken. There are also some valid points to make about how to drive when you've just gotten your learner's permit. Will you be a racecar driver someday? Maybe. Do you need to be driving 200 mph dodging Sunday traffic, deer and dogs on the freeway while you're still learning to drive? Maybe not. Seems like a good way for someone to get hurt, and not in the fun way... Anyhoo. Naturally, the OP is going to do whatever he wants--it's his life. He knows this woman and himself better than we do. And OF COURSE the whole story is not being told! NO story is ever completely told, especially in 200 words or less on the Internet.
