It can be very frustrating for us subs to ask to be dominated, in my opinion it kind of defeats the purpose. But i know exactly what you mean about the abuse thing. My boyfriend watches these videos about girls being strapped up and whipped til they are red and raw, who wouldnt think abuse. I try to explain to him the meaning behind the whipping, and show him other apects of play.
