1. Know before you go. Learn about and practise what you want to do before you accidentally hurt or kill yourself or your loved ones.
2. Keep your wits about you. What we do can be very dangerous and have legal consequences. People have died during scenes and it's not at all fun.
3. Use a safeword if you're not sure. It's better to end a scene because you're worried than than regret what has happened.
4. If you need medical help, get it. Don't be too scared or embarrassed to tell the doctor exactly what happened. If you need it, there are Kink Aware Professionals who will understand.
5. Get off.
