Impact Play – Abuse?

Paddles, floggers, whips and canes (oh my!) … when does consent stop and abuse begin? One “rule” in BDSM play is never play when you have been drinking or taking drugs; not only is your judgment impaired, but so are your reflexes and accuracy of aim. Most impact toys have a place on the body to strike that is a “safe zone”; miss that location and you could do permanent bodily harm. No one signs up to have sciatic pain the rest of their lives. Perhaps your Master has not been “partaking” but is in an angry emotional state; again, judgment is impaired and play should immediately stop. Submissives, you have the right to use your Red safe word. Do it, when consent crosses the line into abuse. (Now, I know this is easier said than done, so the best time to address it is in your contract with your Mistress/Master BEFORE play ever begins.) Have fun and be safe.
