MasterFire has said so many good things. As a couple who not only engages in fire and knife play (and needles and electricity ...) and has taught/given demos at local/regional events my first advice is always to go get some hands on help the first time, especially with fire. Knives, if you use some common sense and start slow can be pretty safe. Most of our demos begin with a long long part on safety. To us, from talking with medical professionals about thinkgs like Hep and HIV, we have arrived at what we think is a safe way to share our knives and not risk the transferre of anything. After all, I am going to end up with the blades used on me as well, so we do have a vested interest in being careful. You will get arguements that what we do to clean my knives is not great for the blade surface, but in nearly a decade of bladeplay, our clooection is intact. Fire safety is much much trickier and I just really can't recommend enough that you go watch someone. Check out weekend long events, many of them will have a fire demo. Ask around. If you are a member of a club, see if you can get someone well known to come speak/demo. Both types of play can be incredible mindfucks as well as being hothothot and such a big power exchange! I can orgasm from being on the recieving end of either, though knives is easier. I have been on the recieving end of a knife fuck and when he said ..."now you had better hold very still ..." OMG ... lol. Knifeplay should only be a frightening as the person weilding the knife, and knowing them or their reputation is paramount. One thing we have never been accused of in knives or fire was being boreing! MsOpal
