Safety in BDSM: Understanding SSC, RACK, and PRICK
As much fun as BDSM can be — in or out of a D/s relationship — it’s also inherently risky. We fuck with each other’s minds and bodies in ways that take us to the edge of our limits and our physical and mental comfort. Thinking about safety as a kinkster is extremely important.

Patterns of Relationships
This typology was devised by Carmen Lynch, M.F.C.C., a couples and family therapist in private practice on the Peninsula south of San Francisco. Victor Daniels, Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University took notes on a talk in which she described it, added two categories and a few additional ideas, and wrote it down in the form in which it is presented here.

Fetlife is both a great and a terrible resource. I’m listing this resource with a heavy caution… there are fake Doms and subs everywhere and will likely end up with unsolicited dick pics. Having said that, many of us in the community are here and you can find some wonderful, friendly, educated communities that are fantastic and get to know others in the lifestyle.
