Wow! Several years ago a domme who was posting at maxfisch brought up this very topic and how she loved having her subs broken, but, from her point of view, in a good way!

I created a thread and it seems that neither several dommes nor several subs would give consistent meanings to being broken and whether or not it is good!

I think that one basic meaning or def is that the sub or slave is in enough pain, or torment of some type whether physical or emotional, that he gives up several limits or ideas or emotional self-controls he had had.

Some dommes aim to have this happen to some subs and in other cases, they say, it happens spontaneously.

The other question is what to think of breaking a sub, knowing or believing that in most cases, he will return, broken or not! Apparently some dommes enjoy toying with some subs who have been broken!

Below is the link to a book or a movie with the title Unbroken about a prisoner of war!
