Oh, but you are questioning his choices. I trust you see that.

As others have pointed out, he may want to keep you. That, in itself, is good reason to take it slow.

Trust, for your dom, may be the most important thing of all. And trust comes slowly, and not at all if your "eyes are bigger than your stomach" so that he has to cut you loose from a scene because you have panicked, created a fear of the scene, and now have a question about your own ability in mind as well as about his judgment in "pushing" you.

I agree totally with the suggestions about making your desires known, then simply leave the decision to him and accept. That way there will be no need to question his choices and build doubts and stress in yourself that you should have given up when you pledged submission.

Good luck to you both.
