I guess that "true limits" are like "true love" in that you always think that's what you have, but the only way to know for sure is time.
Excellent way to state the case.

I myself might want to explore a subs hard limits to see where they actually lie, like annie's example of no tickling. What might be ticklish in one place is not ticklish in another, so I would need to know what she thought was ticklish and where. this does not mean I want to tickle her, just that I want to know how to avoid it.

As for Mishka and her desire to push her limits to please me, this does not mean I am free to run roughshod over those limits. I have to be careful and judge her responses as we explore.
