why something might be a limit....safety?....level of pain/intensity?.... or just something that you simply don't find erotic or exciting and don't want to waste session time on.


All those things and also it's sometimes an issue of only doing certain things with certain people. One example for me is that I have golden as a limit. It's not because I don't like it. I'm actually a HUGE piss top. I just had an agreement with my partner that it was a special part of our relationship and I don't do it with clients. So, stuff like that can affect limits.

Do you find your limits have changed over time?


Absolutely.

I have a couple of formerly hard limits that are soft limits now ... I don't really want to experience them again but knowing they might be part of a session can add to the excitement and trepidation. Especially good if you are playing in a limited CNC framework.


A limit isn't to be crossed, even in a CNC dynamic. That's a misunderstanding about how CNC works.

Also good for pushing you to beg for something else challenging instead. They are unlikely to happen but knowing they will almost certainly show up sometime can add a lot a session's atmosphere


Do you mean pushing on people's limits as a way to get you to open your mind to something more "challenging"? Because, again, I would say that limits are not meant to be "pushed" on. To do so is shitty and unethical. I think that what people mean when they say something like, "I like to have my limits pushed" is that they want me to push on their thresholds, which are two different things.

If someone says they don't want to suck a cock you don't ever "push" them on this. You fucking respect it. However, if they say they like to suck cock but say they get nervous about how much they can put in their mouth, then you might want to "test" the threshold about how much dick you can get in there before they start to gag.
