Seeking Domination Safely

There are certain safety considerations to take into account when seeking a Dominant, either personally or professionally:

  1. Do you know anyone else who has met Them?

  2. How long have they been active in the scene?

  3. Do they have a presence on Informed Consent? If so, what is Their posting history like? Do They express Their views elsewhere in a sensible manner? Are They argumentative and dismissive of others, or are They assertive and Dominant enough to admit when They are wrong (remember, only the weak have a problem with that!).

  4. Has Their website been up for more than 5 minutes? Do They maintain a traceable footprint?

  5. If the person is to Dominate you, then ask yourself where They get Their power from. Are They a bully or do They lead from a calm and controlled place within? Are they confident or are They having sex/an affair that They otherwise couldn’t get? In which case, are they really Dominant? Are They intelligent enough to enter into healthy debate without resorting to name calling?

  6. Have They checked your health status both initially and ‘on the day’? If not, why not????

  7. What are Their cross-contamination controls? You wouldn't feel comfortable at a hospital where equipment was filthy, why allow an 'untrained' stranger such liberties?

  8. How do They balance confidentiality and safety?

  9. Don’t forget to enquire after Their health too, we don’t want you all tied up with a heart attack victim at your feet do we?

  10. Are They evasive when you ask questions that aren't personally intrusive?
