Guidelines for Dom/mes
Author Unknown

1) When You forget that a person is not REALLY Your property, that is when You really start to treat them as such. Your "property" will become Someone else's before long.

2) everyone has feelings. Regardless if they are slave or sub, if their feelings are ignored than they will not be Yours for long.

3) BDSM relationships are about mutual gratification. Just because a person is Your slave or sub, does not mean that their happiness only comes from serving You. Sometimes You have to serve Your slave or sub.

4) HONESTY IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST POLICY!

5) There is more to BDSM relationships than getting blowjobs. If that is all Your interested in, get a prostitute.

6) DO NOT FORCE OR EMOTIONALLY BLACKMAIL YOUR SLAVE OR SUBMISSIVE TO DO THINGS THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO! IT IS ABUSE!!!!!

7) Sometimes, regardless of how strict your Dom/me-sub or Master/Mistress-slave relationship is, the person You are with, just wants some quality time with You as a person without the D/S.

8) Communication, open communication, real communication are a must!

9) If You cannot take criticism from Your submissive or slave...then You need to take the Dominant label off Your lapel! REAL Dominants are interested in what their submissives and slaves have to say about them,
their feelings regarding them, and their emotional well-being.

10) There is a fine line between BDSM and Abuse. Be careful not to cross it. Reality says that You can and probably will end up in prison for disregarding consent...even from a "so called" slave.
