Before we get into any details about what BDSM is or what it might involve, we need to cover safety. BDSM is for fun and pleasure, if it is not safe it should never be done. I do not encourage anyone to partake in any activity (no matter how fun it may seem) that could be damaging mentally or physically to anyone involved. It will never be worth it. Some of the things that will be discussed in BDSM have some amount of measured risk, for some people that is acceptable and for some that is not. Whatever a persons view of things may be, respect for their decision must always be upheld.
There is some level of physical risk that can go along with bondage, mainly because it usually involves tools that restrict movement or communication. So it crucial to be doing these activities with a partner that you know well and trust. This goes for any and all types of people. Whether you are on top or bottom, gay or straight, old or young, new or experienced, people could get hurt or taken to court over most of the things we are about to talk about.
If you and your partner are trying something new it needs to always be required to have the proper safety equipment. When bondage is involved rope cutters, scissors, keys (and a spare) for every lock, and anything else that could be necessary in an emergency. No matter the reason it may be needed, a usable and reliable phone should be nearby as well. Always have a drawer of safety equipment, it might need to include non-bondage related items, such as an inhaler, epi-pen, Benadryl, ext. Always know any potential allergies and read all of the ingredients in your toys. Latex, fruits, nuts, and even dyes are common allergies.
Anaphylactic shock can really kill the mood, believe me.
