	SD! : SD! Wiki : Total Power Exchange : history This article is part of the SD! Wiki hosted by Seek Discipline! Total Power Exchange Total Power Exchange or TPE is a term coined and defined by Steven S. Davis in the mid-1990's: "A TPE (Total Power Exchange) relationship, sometimes described as an absolute lifestyle d&s relationship ... is a relationship in which no impediment to the exercise of the owner's power is accepted ... Such things as safewords, contracts, negotiated limits, and anything else which recognizes / acknowledges / formalizes limits on the owner's power are inimical to TPE." Although there is a large overlap between TPE and Internal Enslavement, the term "TPE" can be misleading in several respects and has lost much of its original meaning.
