Hard Limit

A hard limit in BDSM is a non-negotiable boundary established prior to the commencement of play. It defines activities that one or both partners refuse to engage in, whether due to physical, emotional, or personal reasons.

Further Explanation of Hard Limit
Within the realm of BDSM, establishing limits ensures the safety and respect of all participants' boundaries, preventing unwanted or harmful scenarios. For instance, even though activities like whipping or caning may be common in BDSM, a submissive might designate these as hard limits due to health concerns like being on blood thinning medication, or simply because they find no pleasure in them. Setting these boundaries in advance helps to eliminate any potential for misunderstanding, harm, or conflict. Violating a hard limit is considered a serious breach of trust and is grounds for immediately stopping the BDSM scene.
