No one on the list seems to be talking, so I'll just throw out a question I've thought a bit about lately.
Twice in the past couple of months, when I've been playing, subs have broken toys. In both cases, it was a wrist shackle (to be specific, in both cases they broke the D-ring connecting the shackle to a rope). There's no cheap way to fix it--the shackle basically has to be replaced.
So what I'm wondering is, does a sub have a responsibility to offer to help pay to replace a broken toy? On the one hand, it's not the sub's toy, it's mine. Multiple subs have used it, so it was likely the accumulated wear that broke it. On the other hand, the sub was having a lot of fun and got a little carried away with his struggles. If I can't replace it, neither that sub nor any future sub will have that fun. And expecting the Dom to pay for it puts a lot of financial burden on the Dom.
So what do people think? In a casual play situation, if a toy breaks, ought the sub offer to cintribulate to replacing it? Is failing to offer to pay a breach of etiquette?

) then yes, you are expected(Note the word usage) to buy and replace broken items. The better idea though, is that, saying I was a sub to you and in this situation, I would at the very least offer SOME compensation for the item in question. Though, in the case that you are buying what appears to be very cheap(not in price) bondage equipment, maybe you should find other sources, far as I know metal doesn't break easily and leather can be maintained to the point where it is REALLY hard to tear, though, you might not be maintaining it properly, which is understandable. Granted, I've never even messed with cuffs outside of my Dad's own(he's a cop) so I say this with no foreknowledge on the topic other than the concept.
