I don't think that watersports is a very high risk activity, provided the person giving the urine is healthy and not on drugs (prescription or recreational), but I balk a little bit when it comes to the general belief that it's absolutely risk free and it's a good idea to partake in it without knowing anything about your partner...

This is a rational view of watersports. With a fluid bonded partner, it is not a high risk activity. There are counter indications to doing it - or anything else in life. There are counter indications to kneeling. (My bad knee, for instance). I still do it, but it hurts me, and it is not a good idea, so I do it less than I otherwise would.

Master has a heel fetish. My docs don't want me to ever wear heels - I don't wear them when Master won't let me, which is whenever I have a foot problem active, which is often.

Wearing heels is a higher risk activity for me than watersports with my healthy, drug free, fluid bonded Master. But everything has risk - crossing the street, for instance. Or standing in your own front yard. It's all about personal risk management - what risks are worth it to *you*?

As I said, with a fluid bonded partner, I would not consider it a risk...

On the other hand, would you consider the risk worthwhile with somebody you barely know? I have seen guys at fetish parties hanging out in front of the bathrooms, begging women and men to pee into bottles so they can drink it because that is their fetish. That is a risk that I would consider simply crazy and irresponsible, a good way to play hazard with your health.

Risk is a personal issue. Personally, I only play with people to whom I have a strong connection, I don't have a 'stranger fetish', beyond a few fantasies. Personally, if I knew such people well enough to talk to them about their choices, I'd talk about the risks, like that a person might be on drugs or medication or have an STD - ONCE. after that, I'd figure they get to decide what fits into 'RACK', for themselves. It's their right. Do you lecture friends who chose to climb up the side of mountains or jump out of planes as a hobby? High risk behavoir, but you assume that they know the risks and have judged them to be worth it. ( I SO WANT TO JUMP OUT OF A PLANE! And Master loves me SO MUCH - He has said, if I make my goal weight, He will jump with me.)
RACK is about personal accountability. I can't judge anothers risk choices, beyond trying to ensure that they KNOW the risks, in order to weigh them - but only they can weigh them, for themselves.

I guess it makes as much sense as telling people to use condoms if they have random, casual sex, it has been all said before but if saying it once more will just one of them prevent from contracting HIV, it's worth it - but yes, ultimately it is their choice, though I don't want to live with the feeling of not having warned them sufficiently...
