We've all seen personal ads of those who claim to have no limits. Most of us laugh at them because we know everyone has limits. However, there are intelligent, sane people who call themselves no-limits slaves. Inevitably, someone will start the "what if" game with them where extreme scenarios are presented. There's a very small percentage of BDSM'ers who are actually into hard core torture versus the greater number of people who claim to have no limits, so what does all of this mean?

I mentioned in chat the other day that I don't really have any limits now (in the context of my relationship), and I was told that I wasn't setting a good example for the newbies. Far be it from me to "mislead" anyone on purpose, but any other way of saying it might sound just as questionable to a newbie. I could say that my limits are set by my master rather than saying I don't have any. When your master isn't hard core and has the same squicks as you, or maybe even more squicks than you, limits are kind of a moot point, in my opinion, since he's not very likely to have you do anything you wouldn't. Therefore, I can say that I don't limit my master. It's been over a year, and I'm still in one piece and haven't had to eat any poo. If playing outside of my relationship, I definitely have limits, though, because there are things I will do for him that I won't do for anyone else.

So, in the interest of protecting the innocent, do we really need another word or phrase besides "no limits slave," or should we assume they're adults capable of doing their own research and have a high school reading comprehension?
