It sounds like you were just abused by someone who didn't understand what true bdsm is. I'm sorry that it has turned you away from the lifestyle, because when you find someone who is a true Dom, they would never force you to do anything. In a real D/s relationship, the sub has more control than the Dom because they get to decide what the limits are. Now, this is different from a Master/slave relationship, but that takes alot more trust and is an entirely different issue. I would suggest to anyone that they start as a sub and work up to slave, because it takes alot more commitment and you really have to know your partner very well for it to work.
But you bring up a valid topic. I will be more than happy to discuss abuse in these types of relationships. In my opinion, the more you know, the less chance there is of abuse occurring.
