Bruises--and limits

So I have learned an invaluable lesson--with a modium of pain--it is my job to set my own limits.

I emailed P, giver of bruises, and said I was uncomfortable with his sadism and my gut told me to call a halt to seeing him.

His response: I enjoyed seeing you--but you need to set your own limits.

He's right.
So, I think I just got off easy...and learned something I will remember for the go forward.
Thanks, P.
