On top of that, if it's traumatizing enough to completely cut him open emotionally it's possible his mind would be so far gone it might not even occur to him to safeword out.<br /><br />I guess to me, if you're going to push a boy you should be able to read him. That means not ignoring "data" he gives you on his reactions; you can't just shrug something off as aberrant. When it comes to pushing limits, reactions should change with some degree of subtly; if something is suddenly a COMPLETELY different reaction, however mild the reaction itself is, it should at least merit an "Are you ok?" in most circumstances. Not playing with safewords doesn't mean disregarding a boy's emotional state, it just means you have a greater potential to control it.Dick Cashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08032005480502871563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74820615948715881.post-45777903648870769902012-12-15T16:45:58.433-08:002012-12-15T16:45:58.433-08:00What if the "howl" isn't a howl at a...What if the "howl" isn't a howl at all, but rather tears, painful tears cried silently into the emptiness of a hood, caused by some unforeseen emotional scar ripped open by the current play session? <br /><br />Not saying there would never be some kind of physical indication of a person in danger, but I guess I get concerned with an undetectable trauma, either medical or emotional from which the sub must escape.lthrboy84https://www.blogger.com/profile/04614823930591130455noreply@blogger.com
