This does not mean Dont question. Only to phrase the question in a respectful manner.  Never allow yourself to be hit with whip or crop on the tailbone, lower back, head or neck. Never allow yourself to be struck in any way on head, neck, overies or kidneys. Do not allow permanent injury, scaring, cutting And burning. while in some relationships a consensual act, these practices are In my opinion not wise and best left to Long term committed relationships. Being permanant markings they are not to be taken lightly.  Submission does not mean you can be passed around as as a sexual favor between Dom/mes, though to some this to is a consensual act. Always stress " permissions" so as to avoid any misunderstanding when playing with others.  Respect, and ask Respect, of the use of a safe word like "RED" to stop unwanted activity. The safe word should always be an 'out of place' word . Some in time may come to a point a safe word is not used, but it is best to have one , it is an indispensable safety net when entering new territory.  Always respect the female Domme.... always address her as Ma'am. Show courtesy to all, no matter their sexual preference, or style. Remember the best way to earn respect, is show respect .  Never allow nipple clamps to be left on for more than 15 minutes, have at least a 1 minute break before reapplying. Allow blood to circulate. If this is to be addressed, respectfully ask for them to be removed. Always use a preset "safeword" if suspended and limbs become cold or numb. Never allow yourself to be left alone in suspension. A tingle means your losing circulation.  Always ask permission to release (orgasm). To most this is a basic rule in power exchange.  Always negotiate a new scene. Even in an "Old" relationship. If something is not right, always ask to talk about it , call a safe word. Some use the terms "Red", "ZZZZZYellow" , "Green." Red meaning stop completely, Yellow to stop the activity and talk about it , Green to start again or go further. These are guidelines only and we do not in any way presume this to be the only path. As always all rules are to be consensual between the parties involved remember the motto..... SAFE, SANE and CONSENSUAL always applies and enjoy.
