Classic, emotional blackmail...it reeks of childish immaturity and insecurity. While the notion of a couple so in tuned with each other that they dont need a safe word is appealing...it is not the bond you can force...it takes time to develop and for a sub to put such implicit trust in a dom, she/he would have to feel utterly safe in the knowledge that they know their partner well and that their partner knows them...that doesn't seem to be the case here. Frankly, it shows a lack of brain power on the dommes part, and thats the nicest way I can put it. Even things like light bondage can end up causing nerve damage if not done properly...usually by a dom who lacks the ability of forethought and security in their own person to admit that something may not be working, learn from it and move. Nothing scares or angers me more than a dom who thinks submissives are just a piece of meat...and I have only been here a day,.
Even for well established couples when experimenting with something new and untried before having a safe word is a prudent thing to do...safe word is just that...a safe way for a sub to communicate with their dominant partner...and to a dom who doesn't want to communicate with their submissive I suggest he/she buys an inflatable doll...its the only thing they are qualified to "dom".
