Yeah i accept what your saying Lady Firestorm. i think in your case though your long years of experience compensate for your lack of training in the area. Training of course does not mean you will never foul something up but it does prove that you have a certain competence in an area which is a little more reassuring for the sub. But again in your case, your long years of experience training subs overrides any lack of training you might have.

But the thing that you forget, Kevin, is that -I- had to start somewhere, too... Yes, I've had years of experience, and much of my out-scene life has expanded on what I love doing in-scene... but I had to start somewhere. I had to do my first suturing (in the ER, on a patient who was -really- drunk, and who wouldn't let me put in anesthesia because he thought I was going to poison him, with THREE DAYS of observation and -no- hands-on training... because the ER was so packed that they didn't have anyone to spare, and I was the only EMT on who had shown an affinity for needles.), I had to put in my first IV, I had to do my first piercing, I had to handle my first scalpel (on a 4 year old little girl who had a sewing needle shoved all the way into her arm, halfway into a vein) and had to wield my first crop.
I had some help in the beginning, and, being the person I am, I tend to err on the side of caution early on in a relationship... but while I may have experience -now-, I certainly don't spend 14 hours a day in the ER, inserting IVs and cutting out bullets anymore... and yet, I still managed to have years of enjoyable activity, and a minimum of crisis.
The biggest risk for any d-type who does fetish play, including edge play, is the capacity to react calmly in a crisis. There are almost NO crises that are immediate threats to life or limb, unless practicing things like breath play or certain forms of cutting... but even then, knowing how to respond in a crisis could make the difference between a boo-boo and a life-and-death emergency. I -do- recommend that folks into bondage/edge-play learn basic first aid and CPR, but in general, there is nothing done during everyday dominion of a household that would, of itself, cause serious risk to life or limb, and many of the risks inherent in fetish play can be mitigated by a bit of caution and moving slowly enough to learn the responses of the particular individual on which one is working. It behooves all of us to know who we're playing with, and know what we're doing for the things -we- play, but honestly, everyone has to start somewhere, and if the risks are too high or too scary, then the darker aspects of WIITWD may never be right for that person, regardless of the number of certifications and licenses the other individual has.
