Acceptable or No?

[CyberSleuth]

In my opinion this is not acceptable. First, a no limits relationship should have no need for safe words. If safe words are given and agreed upon, then they must be honored. Submissive is wrong for not completing command. Dominate is wrong for ignoring safe words. Both are wrong in entering a no holds barred/no limits relationship. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.

If safe words are given and agreed upon, then they must be honored.

This is true.

Submissive is wrong for not completing command.

I don't think there was enough information given to determine whether or not the submissive was wrong to refuse. Even a slave has the right to veto anything that might harm her.

Dominate is wrong for ignoring safe words.

Generally, I agree. However, I have to wonder what control a Master has if punishment is able to be controlled by the slave with the use of a safe word. Punishment isn't the same as play and isn't meant to be enjoyed.

Both are wrong in entering a no holds barred/no limits relationship.

Why? I would think that anyone entering into this type of relationship would know each other well enough to be sure of what they're getting into.
