But the more common one is the second; "I'm going to power through because I'm not burnt out." And you'll get this from dommes who *will tap out when they're burnt out*. You'll get this from dommes who know when enough is enough and when they need to prioritize their mental health.

And this isn't something I have an answer to or even suggestions for. This is just an observation. It's like we somehow treat energy levels as being less important, less valid, than hitting actual burnout. Which ignores the fact that energy levels are wholly tied to burnout anyways, right?

It's almost like a sort of crisis mentality in that the thought tends to go "If I haven't reached the tapping-out point, then I'd rather keep it up and recharge later" - which, at least in my experience, very very easily leads to burnout and actual periods of tapping out for going too hard.

I love this a lot. My Owner and I have a very high level of trust and we can tap out of a session when we need to and we understand that it happens. I feel like it’s super important for both parties to have the ability to step away for a session and recharge.
