Just my opinion, of course.
And a very good opinion it is! (Well, okay, so it matches mine, what can I say?)
Dream, when I've talked about questioning a Dom in previous posts, that questioning always takes place before any real scening occurs. I meet with Doms in person many times without actually "doing" anything, simply to question and find out what limits are. That period might take a few weeks to a few months, depending on how easy it is to gain information.
Once we play, I had better have enough trust in him to follow what he says to do without question. Of course, because we are new to each other, safe words are in place - that's what tells the Dom that something is either not right or a tolerance level has been reached. Afterwards, I expect to talk about what happened, what was liked, what wasn't. I also expect a Dom to listen to what I might look forward to in the future and if I feel that I might be pushed further in the future. That is also the time to question - but, by then, the scene is over and we are snuggling and talking and being honest.
When I am in a scene, I do not question, period. Afterwards, if something was on my mind, I will bring it up for discussion, but not at the time when I expect the Dom to be totally in control.
Now, did that make any sense?
