Definitions

A soft limit is the grey zone. It's something you're unsure about, nervous about, or would only consider under specific conditions — the right partner, deep trust, a particular mood. Unlike a hard limit, it isn't a flat no; it's a 'maybe, let's talk.' Soft limits are exactly what negotiation is for: naming them, deciding whether and how to approach them, and agreeing the off-ramp if it's too much. A soft limit can stay soft forever, or harden into a hard no, or open up over time.
“Spanking's a soft limit — I might be into it, but only once I really trust you and we've talked it through.”
