Well I can only speak for myself. If the sub is really not into something and is really not getting anything out of a task, I'm can't imagine being interested in the task myself. There has to be some obvious benefit in a task that the sub can identify to make a task worthwhile. I personally don't find any reward in making a sub do something simply because I can make a sub do something.

Brainwashing is strictly a No No with me. There is too much potential as it is to fuck with someones head. Reluctance accompanied by a curiousity is another matter. I think then it is legitimate to discuss and influence.

Hmm What is harmless? One can say with some authority what is physically harmless but one can't say with any authority what is psychologically harmless, one would have to be able to look into someone's head for that.
