If I answer 'yes' would I be answering yes to they should have limits or they should surrender them to the owner? Perhaps more thought into your post would have been helpful....
since I can't answer the poll, 'm just gonna answer it here. every one has limits by nature, it just is what it is, however that does not mean that they cna't be crossed nor does that mean they will ever be touched or relavent. for all intents and purposes I have no limits, why, because they are so beyond anything that would be encountered that they are there mainly for my own comfort, I will not do things that could send me to prison, everything else is up for grabs. however having closer limits isn't a bad thing, a persons boundries are part of who they are, and if those were changed would they be the same person.
preguntas.. i think everyone has limits by nature, too.. so does that mean if you surrender all to your partner, even with your limits that are bound to be crossed, does that make it rape or assault if you go somewhere you don't want to go? pardon me, it's late. :]

This. Plus explaining more of your point would help too.
All slaves have their limits (no one is invincible), everyone is human, and everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes. I am always sure to have all of my slave both state and set their limits. As a dominatrix it is always important to respect your counterparts limits, this should apply to all dominants as well.
I agree - every slave has their limits. Depends on how much respect the Dom, Master or owner has for their slave.
But I think if your Master is truely in tune with you, then he or she will know by your body language on how far to push.
I love that about my Master - even though it's online (with cam), he can tell what my boundaries are and how far he can push me without me even saying so.
Im curious - why does this have two flags??????
How can someone be offended by that question? It's just a simple question for those who want to answer.
Everyone has limits. Slaves who engage in Master/slave relationships negotiate their limits and are often put into written form as a contract between the persons in the relationship. They are respected and enforced. If a limit is subject to change then it should be documented and updated in the contract. Funny, I am actually going to a class about collars and contracts this weekend. I should have more info after Sunday if anyone cares to know more on the subject.

Well, I can see how it does because this seems like a question that one could answer "no" to. But if one were to answer no, it seems that they don't want the option to say no, and that they are giving up their rights. It also seems like if they answered no, they would be okay with being raped. I could be wrong, but this is just my take on it.

I don't think anyone is offended by the question, the question was worded poorly and there is no clear answer. Is "yes" the response that slaves should have limits or does "yes" mean that slaves should surrender completely?
There are hard limits and there are soft limits, everyone it entitled to them and has them weather they realize it or not. Experienced players will know them, newbies will find them. Either way they should always be negotiated and respected.
When the slave enters service of the Master it is normal for hard limits and soft limits to be a topic that is brought up. Whn talking about a Master/Slave situation it is normaly understood that after that inital conversation there is limited say on things from the slave. In a Dom/Sub situation, the sub retains the right to say that they dont want something and while the Dom may push it, if the Sub truly doesn't want it then it doesn't happen. I know that this is not the way things should work but, at least in the commuinity down here, that is how it does work.

AGREED. I answered yes, assuming it was for the first part of the question. Everyone needs limits of some sort.
I personally am still figuring out my limits. The few definite "no"s I can think of are far out of my guy's interest range. For anything that I haven't really decided on, I would research and discuss with my guy.
The main thing that influences my definite "no"s are health risks that cannot be greatly reduced. And whether something's illegal, but usually those are unhealthy/risky anyway. I'm pretty flexible otherwise.

agree. If you are engaging in D/S play with your SO, you should already know each others' hard and soft limits. If not your SO, you need to have that discussion. The soft limits are the ones that can be pushed at times and if the Dom is pushing, (s)he needs to be paying attention for the safe word to not put the Sub past their point of acceptance. Hard limits should not be tested during play, but can be discussed at a later time.
Everyone has limits and communication is important to establish those boundaries, but as Laura Antoniou, one of my favorite kink writers/educators, has said we tend to pre-select for people with complementary limits to our own.

Excellent point. I responded "yes" without really reading the question all the way through.
