I tend to push my boundaries in play, so I need to always check with myself 'Am I doing this because I feel obligated, or because it's hot and challenging?' 'Am I gonna end up regretting this?'

I really don't do any heavy play - babboo tells me I'm quite vanilla :) - but I'm aware that my competitive streak (what, me competitive????) can get me into trouble when playing, since I usually won't back down until I'm in quite a lot of pain. At that point, I admit that any lasting discomfort or markings are completely my fault.
