Advice and tips for playing safely within BDSM scenes.

BDSM is a meant to be a litte scary but never in a way that's unsafe. BDSM can involve as much, or little bondage, domination, submission as you like. Playing a BDSM scene Here's our top advice tips for safe BDSM

Listen & Trust Your InstinctsThis is our number one advice! You know how far you want to go. Never push your own or your lovers limits in a BDSM scene.

Agree on Safe Words Using safe-words to control or stop a "scene" is essential advice. Honour BDSM safe words absolutely - it's the only way to ensure the physical and emotional safety of the submissive player. Safe words shouldnt be any words that you might use during your game - using words such as "Stop" "No" or "Please" are NOT good BDSM safe words. A common set of BDSM safe words are: "YELLOW" which means "Ease Up - I'm not ready to stop but am feeling a bit unsafe" and "RED" which means "Stop now".

Good communication is crucial! Honesty is the best policy is good advice, and never truer than in a BDSM scene. Any BDSM scene based on power can resurrect buried feelings in a partner who might have been abused or even raped. It's important to communicate any no-go areas and it's vital that boundaries are agreed upon before the a BDSM scene commences.

Physical Safety Advice - Tying UP Never restrict your submissive's nose AND mouth within a BDSM scene Never tie your submissive face down on soft furnishing. Never leave your submissive tied-up alone. This is basic safety advice to ensure your submissive can breath.

Physical Safety Advice - Extremities Check regularly throughout the BDSM scene that extremities such as toes and fingers are not numb or cold as these are signs that blood has stopped flowing to the area and its time to untie.

Physical Safety Advice - Use Wide Bonds Wide, strong bonds like proper Wrist Cuffs and Ankle Cuffs Silk scarves may seem less threatening but they can tighten in the throws of a BDSM game, without anyone noticing and can cause pinched nerves, even permanent nerve damage.
