How To Practice Safe BDSM Play

It’s healthy to explore your sexuality. If you’re interested in getting tied up and whipped, then you shouldn’t hesitate to engage in some BDSM. Of course, you don’t want to end up getting hurt, or even worse, hurting your partner. That’s why there are a few safety tips that you have to follow. If you’re interested in letting your kinky side show, here are a few different ways to practice safe BDSM play:

Create A Safe Word

You don’t want your safe word to be something that could potentially come up during your dirty talk. You need to make it a unique word that your partner won’t misunderstand. That’s why most couples will pick a bizarre food or instrument. That way, your partner will remember exactly what it means. Remember: the weirder, the better.

Start Out Slow

You can’t walk before you learn to crawl. That’s why you should start off slowly. If you’re interested in being handcuffed, don’t buy the metal kind that will dig into your skin. They could end up cutting you, which is why you should start off with the fuzzy kind. The layer of fabric will protect your skin from cuts and bruises, which will make your first BDSM experience a whole lot easier.

Know Which Spots Are Safe To Touch

If you like being spanked, make sure that your partner knows the right places to slap you. It’s safe to be hit on your booty, but stay away from the spine, the lower back, and the upper chest. If those places are hit too hard, it could cause internal damage, which is the last thing you want to do while you’re having fun beneath the sheets.

Clean Your Toys After Each Use

You wouldn’t have sex in a dirty bed, would you? Then why would you have sex with a dirty toy? If you’re going to be using props, then make sure you wash them thoroughly after each use. Even if you’re in the middle of sex, you should take a break to wash the toy if it was inside of an anus (and is about to go inside of a vagina). If the bacteria from the first spot enters the second spot, then it could cause an infection.

Don’t Leave Your Partner Alone

If you tie your partner to the bed, don’t leave them, even to use the bathroom. You never know what could happen to them during those few minutes alone. If you want to keep them safe, then you should always stay by their side to make sure they aren’t in any danger.

Ask For Their Consent Each Time

Even though your partner allowed you to whip them one day, it doesn’t mean that they want them same treatment the next day. Always ask for your partner’s consent before you break out all of your kinky toys. You need to be on the same page in order to partake in kinky activities. That’s what consent is all about.
