  13. What is BDSM? (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism) • BDSM is one of several names given to a collection of behaviors that involve bondage, spanking, domination and other activities that are done in an erotic context. We believe that it should be practiced in a safe, sane, consensual and non-abusive manner. BDSM is a form of erotic play that involves significant emotional and physical risks and thus requires instruction in order to ensure reasonable safety.

  14. Recommendations for Safety • Know your play partner • Leave reality out of it • Try it yourself • Prepare for emergencies • Have a silent alarm (safe call)
