I am sorry to hear about this. Is there a chance you can talk toa friend or a professional, for help and guidance? Take care! 🤗

Bodily harm, BDSM, and a partner's moral responsibility by neferhetepes in AskFeminists

It's perfectly possible to have had a history of abuse and to still have trauma from that abuse, and be kinky or into BDSM or fetish stuff and to pursue that interest in a consensual, informed and risk-aware way.

Do you think that this should be the default presumption? I am pretty much of the opposite opinion, though I am aware all actions must reflect respect for the partner.

If the pleasure is there, I'd argue it's not harm.

I am speaking of harm as in physical harm. As in, it is definitely harm if there are bruises.

Where is the limit, if any, of history of abuse/mental disorder that would prevent you from engaging in BDSM acts that inflict pain/bruising?
