Hard Limits—hard limits should NEVER be touched. These are the absolute, point-of-no-return boundaries that someone has. These are in place to prevent exploration of kinks that the person has no interest in, or may has had prior abuse or negative experiences that they do not want to relive. Also hard limits may be put in place for practical reasons or any other reasons of the person’s choosing. Pushing or crossing hard limits breaks trust & is a breach of safety & consent as well.
