I think that this:I understand it differently. Of course you must know your limits before they are breached. (or at least be able to recognize them, when play gets close to them)
But once sub has set those limits, it is not hers/his to control what the dom does as long as it is within those limits.
Then the "needs". The primary need should be the need to submit. It should not just be the interest to try activity x/y. These I would call preferences. Of course, as a sub certain aspects/activites/scenarios are preferable because they resound more with your type of submissiveness. I personally think it is fine to express them as the sub. It is very helpful if these preferences match those of the dom. If you are a painslut, but the dom is to timid to really cause you the pain that gets you off, then it is not going to work. Or if the dom wants to humiliate you in public, but this is not possible because it might expose you and damage your career.
Therefore I think it is good to be forthcoming with these things. And I believe a dom who does not take this into account should be avoided.
But once the playing field is defined, limits are set, preferences are understood and match, then the sub has to shut up and do as it is being told and endure what is forthcoming.
was a stating of limits and as you say preferences.but I don't want to be used at all just for sex, domestic chores or making her life easier while mine becomes harder.
My point was that whether this is a deal breaker or not, is entirely up to @SPARTAN047’s partner(s)/prospective partner(s).
We can all have opinions about what limits and preferences one ”should” have to fit with our picture of the ”true” whatever, but there is really no universal guide book for who can call themselves what and not everyone who does BDSM does it as a sub or a dom.
