Now this is an interesting perspective which, on reflection, I think might be more common than we think. I would guess that when the term "limit" is used, it is almost always thought of in physical terms. A level of pain or discomfort has been reached which is no longer bearable. But here persephone mentions emotional limits, and these are what actually cause her to act to use her safeword.

Really, it all makes much sense to me.

Have any of the other subs here reacted to emotional limits before physical limits before?
