For a good while I thought I was a lighter bottom, especially since I play with and around those far more experienced than myself. Recently though, I have learned that not to be the case. I was approached to be a demo bottom in the opening show of a larger event for a well respected and very heavy player in the community. After discussing with him that I felt his confidence in my threshold may be misplaced we negotiated the scene in such a manner that it would appear as heavy as he wanted while he gradually increased the intensity without crossing my threshold. After the scene and aftercare was completed he informed me that he was giving me every thing he had with his giant bull hide mop and took me to another player that is a medical professional to have my back looked at. I actually had a bruised rib on my backside... endorphins are fun, and I now know that I can take more than I should.. at least on any regular basis

In summary, bruises and scratch marks are fine, outside of entry and exit points for needles I'm not ok with permanent marks.

One time, we were pretty heavy hitters. Lol, we had an argument followed by some very angry sex.

It was kind of hott, but I don't really want to hurt my plaything, that's not nice. She did deserve it that time though.

i've had to dial things back a lot because of a back injury but normally i like a good heavy hitter!

I really like the heavy hitters...

a little bit of biting, spanking and stuff wouldn't be so bad. i wouldn't really want to hurt my partner though.

So I voted the Chain me up and beat me bloody but maybe not so bloody hehe I love it hard and I like to be bruised afterward. I don't mind a bit of blood if there is some tearing or slight cutting from a flogging.

It entirely depends on my partner and our dynamic. I find that with some it is all mental with almost no physical play, with others it is shibari and sexual torment, and with some our last question is "what sort of clothing are you wearing at this time of year" so they know where they can leave the cuts and bruises that will last for weeks.

Trying to do a kind of play that doesn't fit our dynamic turns me off, even if with another partner it would be sexy as anything.

Pain is needed in intimancy, but no need to be sooo pain or soo hard. A patner may feels a pain in gentle way (Waxxing)..
We don't use slapping any way it is soo hard for feeling rather than skin.

I don't like pain.

I would never want to be actually hurt, but I certainly don't mind being tossed around and handled firmly.

I would you say that we are more like moderate to hard play. Nothing that is going to draw blood or cause bodily harm. I do have a few bruises on my tush.

I've gone home with knots on the back of my head and bruises. Good times.
It gets emotionally draining pretty quickly, though.

Ummm... all of the above??? It all depends on my mood. But generally speaking, I fall into the middle.

we dont get rough with each other. but we do go at it pretty hard some nights.

depends on the mood no serious damage tho

I am not into being beaten bloody but a bit of pain is always a good thing!!!

"I like heavy hitters. Chain me up and beat me bloody! Please?" LOL

Ugh, no I would not be happy if my partner hit me, EVER!
I've been abused my males in the past and my partner wouldn't ever do that to me! I like it rough sometimes, but there's a serious line between rough and beating the hell out of someone and I don't see how beating someone could ever involve love of any sort. Spanking, etc is fine, but when you actually hurt someone or cause them wounds/bleeding I think that's taking it way, way WAY too far!

Usually I'm sub and my partner can hit pretty hard, but not as hard as he thinks. For some reason he's constantly thinking he's being too rough with me, kinda cute that he's afraid.

As for me, one time I accidentally, temporarily, dislocated his jab a bit. He liked it, but he likes it more when the results aren't so... you know.

i like to spanked and throttled but nothing like being flogged or caned. getting badly hurt isn't my thing. and i'm not aggressive enough to leave a mark on anyone else lol

I like it rough but not to the point where im crying in pain or bleeding.

I'm so middle of the road you'd swear I had blinders on.

I get handcuffed, and spanked. And he's slapped my face. But we don't get very rough. There's never any blood, or really bad bruises. We're probably somewhere in the middle.

Little bit of heavy hitter...

I like being spanked but nothing crazy!

I am just learning
