Some things never change. And should never change.

Boundaries work well with everyone and in every situation. I like this allegory
thefuzziestofbutts
And don't forget after care!
CorneliusCornwall
That's the good stuff right there
Thank you. ^_^ Good people know the right stuff.
NarutoSexyJutsu
This is an absolutely perfect description
Thank you, totally stolen, but, so correct it needed sharing.
Absolutely. So many people have incorrect assumptions about what goes on between a dom and sub.
siflandollysiflandollyshowROCK
That’s how it should be :)
Exactly. :)
SashaTheKitty
I wanna be your sub

Might be the best description I've read. Love it.

And yet, 9 out of 10 guys who call themselves doms think they can not only color outside of those lines as they see fit, but into someone...
...else's lines whenever it suits their ego.

Now I just need someone with pencil crayons

It's sad that people think bdsm is about the loss of boundaries. Boundaries are super important. Always.
bouncebounceandtheclaw
My SO knows I despise tickling & jokes about it so much that I never want to even put myself in that vulnerable position.
Maybe I need to phrase it exactly like that though. It doesn’t matter that tickling doesn’t bother him; it bothers me & that’s a boundary.
Well it's not fun if you aren't having fun. If he can't respect boundaries and intentionally does things that makes you uncomfortable then/
That's a bunch of red flags. And if you can't be open and honest with this person then what's the point? Hope it works out for you.
meticulousinfamousridiculousnicholas
Love it, love everything about this. I get into arguments with so-called doms about this & will always say something akin to this to newbies
Diverge
Purple skies and red ass will be on the menu this weekend i thinks!
FeltShardBurrito
I don’t get it. We just have sex.
Shpielers
Not everyone is into dom/sub. That's cool! As long as you and your partner are enjoying yourselves, nothing else matters.
TK421isAFK
What was that about purple thighs and red ass?
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Go on....
Just reading what OP quoted. I might be reading between the thighs. I mean lines.

Booyakahbooyakah619
Yooooo, this simultaneously sounds way kinkier than I'm used to but also so comfortable and safe, this rules.
barbarian818
vanilla folk see the privileges of being a Top, they don't understand the true weight of Responsibility it entails. You EARN that authority
graehall
A friend of mine is quite into BDSM and their birthday is coming up.I'm thinking of getting them a gag gift.
Ha!
LaurenLikesStuff
Shut up dad
Why don't you gag me? :P
Oh, I would.
JOKERZwild86
It’s funny because submissive have more power o stall and all their dom a certain amount of power
LittleEllie95
A lot of people don’t realize that it’s us subs that hold the keys. Love this :)
Redskylinesunrise
You’d think it’d be common knowledge lol
Waaaaghhumbug
Both get to say stop, but only the sub gets to say go!
WoodyTugboat957
I’m stealing this. I will use this.
Please do!
CayCatty
Sending this to my dom right now~

As a hint? Or just appreciation?
I sincerely hope they are already familiar with the concept.

Hey, don't let anyone gainsay it. If vanilla makes you happy, rock that life. :)
Yes. Happy happy happy
thegoodowl
Shouldn’t it be “my relationship with my Dom”, not Sub? Asking for a friend
VarriksTheLoyal
Nah, a sub sets the boundaries of what they want don't with them, the dom aka person writing must respect those
bambulina
That's right. Subs top from the bottom! You may be giving up control, but your body, your rules.
Sonicschilidogs
As someone with a toddler....... There are people that color in the lines? They exist? I had almost forgotten such arbitrary limitations
inkabink
The metaphor is about seeing and respecting boundaries, doesn't really work with a toddler in mind
It was a joke
alisa2089
Boundaries are a part of any healthy relationship, bdsm or not. (:
BananaForScaIe
Sure but bdsm requires them to get past day one.
BravelyEncouraging
Yes!
Truth!
FourEyedLynx
"Traditional" relationships can learn a lot from "alternative" ones.
MmeElspeth
I know imgur is mostly anti-poly, but imo a lot of the communication healthy poly relationships use would be good for everyone.
Yes, like complete and open communication. No guessing. Ask and answer truthfully.
I COMPLETELY agree. Also. Is your username a Mercedes Lackey reference?
Lol no idea who that is. It's a name after Elspeth Reoch, one of the Paisley Witches who died at Gallow Green.
Oh awesome! Elspeth is a character in a high Fantasy series the Heralds of Valdemar. She's badass and awesome.
Your question made my eyes bug! In a good way. Lackey brought my husband and I together. So, this comment made my day!
Ahahah awesome. I started with the Vows and Honor trilogy. Tarma was my mf HERO.
Chillinchin
Can I put my finger in there?
Polite of you to ask first.
ImAnActionBirb
Inside the lines, yes.
dirrrtypiratehookerrr
I miss that type of sex. Its not healthy when theres no boundaries, so I'm jealous of who gets to experience it well. My man isnt into play
Same, last few relationships that element was missing. Not a deal breaker...but it's a big missing piece that's hard to make up for.
PunchyFromCleveland
Same, exactly how I feel. It’s not required for me to be happy and in love, but I miss it greatly.
Out of conscience choice, or just his natural inclination?
He's just not into dominant stuff. Bought me lots of toys like he was going to try. Honestly, can't even hold my arms down right.
Oh lord... I’m a big fan of communication so I’d recommend having a serious talk about it. If he’s just not into it I guess there’s not (1
A lot to be done. On the plus side though, you seem fun lol
TY! Well weve been together a long time. The sex is always so good anyway.... if I ask, he tries but I have to coach. Better than a >
ProbablyHolly
Subs need a union
I would love to expand on that idea
derzilly
Local communities tend to have informal blacklists, which helps protect the people from trash monsters. Would love to get real shit set up.
Something that you don't have to be "in the know" to know
Austin's been really good about the missing stair communication, I think. I've felt lucky to have this place as my kink community.
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Uh, missing stair? Sincerely vanilla canadian
When you allow toxic people to remain in your community https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair
Folks will find a missing stair (toxic person) by tripping on them. Instead of the group kicking the toxic person out & fixing the stairs.
Valkor
oh that's a good way to put it

I wanted to like this comment but it was at 469 and in the spirit of the post I couldn’t do that
Oh, I can appreciate that. Lol. ^_^
oobedoobiedoo
Boundaries. The lines represent boundaries. I think of them as fences in a landscape. Run around as much you please but don't go over there!
Oh! I like that analogy, too! Mind if I steal?
Absolutely, feel free! ?
