It has been nearly ten years since Mistress Nova and I started connecting intimately. What started out as minor play turned into something more significant. We went from light pain from the heel of a boot to hours of torture, predicaments, and painful memories. Thinking back, I remember discussing our first contract together. We detailed our hard and soft limits and the roles we have been seeking for a lifetime. While time flies, I vividly remember our hard limit list extending to nearly two pages.
So, what are my boundaries, and how have they changed over the years? I want to say it was simple, but that is not so easy to say. Over the past ten years, Mistress and I have grown ever so close. There have been ups and downs. Regardless, each experience has built one thing that we both cherish: trust. With trust comes a shift in boundaries. Fully trusting your partner opens door after door in your BDSM relationship.
Many boundaries have not changed for both of us. Animals, minors, and age play are an absolute hard limit. Those fetishes are chiseled into stone tablets and will never come off. We are both supporters of consensual play. In the beginning, Mistress and I connected for consent quite often until one day, we gave up on discussing consent before each session and just started exploring each other. This goes right back to trust. Without the high level of trust, I would not have granted Her an unsigned check to my consent. I know many people around the internet say that this is not safe or doable, and I agree entirely. I would not grant unchecked sexual consent to someone new to my life or someone I have known for a short while. Get to know your partner first and foremost. Then, you can discuss unsigned consent. Mistress Nova and I have a contract that is renewed yearly. This is our form of consent.
With the consent issue squared away, we began examining our hard limits. Over time, our hard limits became soft limits. Watersports was a hard limit at the beginning. Now, Mistress forces me to devour my own urine if I do not make her coffee in the morning. We had a hard limit on diaper use at the beginning. Now, I wear a diaper during Mistress’s monthly visit, soaking up my urine and having to ask permission to change. What was just “no” became something “we could try once.” Before deeply discussing them, we tried a few other things that were on the hard limits. We were deathly afraid of breath play. I mean, you’ve heard the stories and the warnings. Then, one day, Mistress kept me from breathing by holding my mouth shut and blocking my nose, and I felt the power rush through her. Her orgasm pumped throughout her body, and she screamed in ecstasy. What started in the bedroom has leaked out to a 24/7 life. Believe it or not, that was a hard limit at one point, then it went to a soft limit, and now it is regular.
The post’s moral is to find someone to test your boundaries with. We have tested our boundaries. We have learned what each of us enjoys in the BDSM lifestyle. We continue to test our boundaries within the legal scope of the law. There is nothing wrong with testing your hard limits. With that said, there is also nothing wrong with having some etched into stone. I challenge you to reflect on your absolute no’s. Why are they on there as a no? If it’s because you are unsure if you’d like it, I say go for it. If it is morally, ethically, or legally wrong, stay clear. If you aren’t violating the law, your values, or your partner’s values, then I say try it just once to see what it is all about. You’d be surprised what moves from your hard limit list to your routine sessions and life.
Stay kinky out there, kitty.
