Limits To Submission
The acceptance of a bottom or submissive role in a BDSM relationship is seldom absolute, often operating within a set of defined limits.
A common means by which a bottom or submissive can signal to a top or dominant partner that their limits are being approached, pushed, or even crossed is the use of safewords; Extreme forms of submission or the practice of edgeplay can remove the safeword option from the bottom or submissive, although, this somewhat risky situation is entered into with the consent of the bottom or submissive.
