NSFW Not sure how to feel over a bruise?

Yes.

Only you know where your hard limits are.

There are ways to explore BDSM play with minimal risk of bruising. Scarves are better restraints than belts. Use a soft shoe as a paddle instead of something made of wood or plastic. Don’t be afraid to search online for tips and advice. Most of the BDSM community is very welcoming and friendly.

Remember the basic rules: safe, sane, consensual. And always use a safe word.

At times like this… Just think about Jadzia and Worf’s relationship on Deep Space Nine. Both were frequently in the infirmary as a result of their intense sexual encounters. Broken ribs and dislocated shoulders were a common thing in that relationship.

Also what @Seek said is absolutely true facts.

As long as you’re enjoying exchange, I wouldn’t worry about a small bruise.

Rug burns were my most common complaint. But it didn’t worry me.

If it worries you, that’s the only thing that counts. Back off of it if you’re uncomfortable.
