Thank you LadyElizabeth for clearing that up! Yes, it's true, I guess, domming in the private world and in the professional world would be different. In the pro world you certainly wouldn't have your choice of scenes, unlike in private life, where you and the one you are with can act out specifically what you both like, nothing else (not to leave out experimenrtation, of course...) But even in private scenes, safty is important, too. If any one dies in my house, it will be form tickling, not an accidental rope strangulation or falling off a cross beam, etc!!!
Although, before I really found a tickling "scene" ( ie, group of people to communicate with) I hung out with the BDSM crowd and learned a few things, but mostly because that's the only place dom/sub people could go. I realized from that, that for something that's supposed to be fun, engaging, sexy, sensual, playful experimental, etc.... there sure were an awful lot of rules and ettiqute! I get that in my real life enough; when I clock otu I just want to relax and enjoy the "suffering" at hand...... or at the end of a hand, whatever!
