by Paul Brown • August 4, 2013

Like any other form of healthy sexuality, SM play ideally takes place between consenting adults who negotiate the limits of what they are going to do. Before the scene its common to agree on a safe word or safe gesture that either person can use to stop the action, even if it involves a fantasy…
