there are several out there. Three of my personal favorites: The Lesbian S/M Safety Manual by Pat Califia/SAMOIS Relevant to anyone, lesbian or not The Topping Book and The Bottoming Book both by Dossie Easton S/M 101 by Jay Wiseman In the interest of full disclosure--I personally know all of the authors--but I assure you--these are all really solid texts and worth reading.

By all means, read the above mentioned books, but do so with the understanding that not every situation you encounter will be covered. The best way to be safe is to use common sense.

Holy Cow ..... a Holly sighting!!!!!!

Very true Holly... and it doesn't cover a lot of the newer toys and fetishes-- but if you're looking for some basics--how to whip, crop, paddle etc. differences between implements, basic bondage, emotional aspects of BDSM, safewords, etc. they are a good start for total novices.

Beyond that, your local community may offer workshops, if so take them. Being able to watch and ask questions will take you a lot further than a basic book can.

And remember that what we do has risks. To mitigate all risks, stay home and play chess. The books are great. Workshops are great. One-on-one teaching is great, but despite them all, things sometimes happen. Get your first aid. Use your smarts. Think about the risks ahead of time to be prepared. Have fun

I'm agreeing with Holly, common sense is the best safety barrier, Unless your an idiot then go by the book lol

I agree on the first aid training, a must. Also start small, don't read a book then start into fireplay and the like next day.
