UBB Code™ Images not permitted. [QUOTE]Originally posted by September: [QB] Engaging in these activities CAN be dangerous - but it depends entirely on how it is done. When you and your partner engage in those activities, do you negotiate a safe word with your partner? Do you discuss beforehand what is and is not okay? Have you two done some research about safety in the specific activities you are engaging in (breath play, specifically, can be pretty dangerous), and are taking appropriate precautions and being mindful of your health? Do you feel safe with your partner, does he respect your boundaries and look out for you? Can you communicate well? Do you feel comfortable asking your partner to slow down or stop what they are doing? Those are all really important for sexual activity in general, but all the more so when you are engaging in BDSM activities. The other side of this is whether you feel comfortable engaging in these kinds of sex at all. Do you feel that this is a healthy expression of your sexuality? Or do you feel conflicted about your fantasies and the way you have been carrying them out? Do you think that this is important to the conversation you are having with your therapist? Do you want to bring it up with them? [/QB][/QUOTE]
