ORIGINAL: BonesFromAsh The first thing that came to mind while reading your post, OP, is something LadyPact wrote on a thread a while ago. Basically, from what I can remember (pardon me, LP, if I don't quote directly but I don't remember the exact thread) she made mention to the fact that there are some topics that she wouldn't give information on to random strangers online. Things like fire play and, in my opinion, blood play are activities you make the effort to learn from someone who knows...in person. I recently attended a fire play demo and that concept was reinforced 100%. OP, I like blood and sharp objects, but the only link I'm willing to share, with a clear conscienous is for the American Red Cross. Learn first aid and find a way to get to some local munches or demos (check FetLife) and take the time to meet others who are much more versed in this type of play before following some blurb found online. Good luck. No need to apologize. You were right on the mark and it's exactly what I would have said if I'd have been here first. quote:
ORIGINAL: Revenge93 How do I find information about demos or places to learn more on this particular subject? I believe the closest city to me that would have an active BDSM community would be Atlanta GA, which is still 6-7 hours driving time. I would prefer to read more online first. At this point, it's only a curiosity (it's actually more my sub's fetish than mine). I only want to read about other people's experience for now. I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to read some online article and immediately begin poking around with a knife. I won't touch my sub until I'm 100% comfortable and confident about this. I'm not someone that would take a safety risk on something like this. It's rather serious fetish. I tried to look at your profile to determine your location. I can promise you that no matter which direction you are geographically, if you are six to seven hours away from Atlanta, that's not your closest resource. You would have to be either in Tennessee, South Carolina, or Florida. All of which have folks who are experienced in the practice and if you would happen to be coming from the northern direction, you'd be driving right by where I learned to do cuttings Myself. If you're coming from either of the other places, those are folks that I've known from attending SELF over the last five years, so I can assure you that they are out there. If you're just looking to read other people's experiences on the practice, there are actually a number of those on this site. I have one of My own here about clip's first cutting. These aren't "how to" kinds of posts. They are more focused on the joys of engaging in this kind of play. You can find many of those by using the search feature. I'm located in the Tennessee/Virginia area. For some reason my CollarMe profile wouldn't allow access to the message board, so this is a separate account. I've not been able to find anything closer that seems active enough to have events. The search feature on this board seems to show too many results to be useful many times.
