I rarely play with safewords. The Dommes that I see share your belief that using a safeword detracts from the ability of the Domme to confidently take the session in the direction they feel best.

However, I have only engaged in no safeword sessions with Dommes who are extremely well established and who have impeccable reputations. A sub who wants to experience a no safeword session assumes the responsibility to thoroughly research a Domme prior to scheduling a session. Integrity, skill and experience are absolutely required.

You are exactly right in saying that a no safeword session enables a sub, or at least me, to get to deep subspace very quickly. I like to just "buckle up", enjoy the ride and follow the Domme wherever she chooses to lead me. I think it makes for great chemistry while providing an opportunity for new experiences and expanded limits.

It really is about trusting someone who is highly skilled and experienced to do what they do best.
