I get the point that you are trying to make, GT. When folks are first starting out, especially in the very beginning, I think it would serve them pretty well if they went with the old stand-by: "If you were calling this person your boyfriend, rather than Master, would the behavior be acceptable?" There would be a lot fewer threads than the ones that Kalon and Kana were referencing above. At the same time, I'm not so sure that it works the same way for folks who have a little experience under the belt. From the outside looking in, I'm pretty sure that I've conducted a scene or two in My day that could look abusive to someone who didn't know the complexities of a dynamic between other people. I'm not one to conduct that type of play out of the dungeon. That's one of the keys for Me. It belongs in a certain time and place and doesn't flow into day to day life. That just happens to be one of My personal boundaries. I'm a little different in this as opposed to physical sadism, which I can and have at the spur of the moment decided that it's play time and inflict pain just because I feel like it. I think we always have to be careful when we start using the word "abuse" a little too easily. It's one of those areas where folks have to judge what is happening in their own life for themselves and remember that they can't do so for another person's situation.
