It goes without saying that S/M etiquette is a must. This section of our page is about protecting your health. In general, use your common sense, take care of your body and your immune system.. if you're sick don't play - rest :) Get some of that good 'ol chicken noodle soup of Mom's and rest in bed - *wiggle eyebrows* there are other kinds of play that are much less stressful on the body. If you just apply those ideas
to any play/scening then you'll be fine.
YOUR BODY
The same goes for your vagina
- any tears, even small ones can open you up for transmission of the virus.
So...what do we do about that?
If you're inserting your finger/s
into someone's ass of vagina... use a finger cot (it looks like the finger
cut out of the a latex glove)... and always use lube. Make sure that
any lube that you use is water based, some good kinds are K-Y, Lubafax,
Muco or ForePlay. Never, ever use lube that is oil-based... this
kind of lube weakens latex and is hard to wash off and can have more germs
in/on it. Don't "dip" your hand into a large container - use one
time packets of lube or containers that dispense "untouched" lube.. i.e..
pumps.
If you are inserting a sex
toy, dildo, vibrator... or ... anything else creative... use lube!!! Better
yet - put a condom on the toy - it will be much easier to clean afterwards.
Get to know your partners vagina/ass
- funny as that sounds - it's very helpful. Know what her limits
are, and pay careful attention to her boundaries and her physical sensations.
We are often the best judges of what is good and bad for us.
TOYS
If you absolutely MUST share toys or if you draw blood be sure and clean the toys thoroughly. * one part bleach to nine parts water Toys can be washed in the dishwasher
or washing machine as long as the water stays at 56C/132F for at least
20 minutes.
Leather toys can be cleaned
by wiping with a clean rag that has been soaked in hot soapy water.
Wipe down then with another rag soaked in rubbing alcohol. Wipe
down again with hot water. Put the toy aside for at least 24 hours.
Later on you can rub mink oil on the toy in case the alcohol has dried
it out.
FISTING
If you're going to be fisting,
(or just fingering someone) for that matter CUT your fingernails and make
sure that the ends of them are smooth. Do not fist or finger if you
have open wounds on your hands.
RIMMING
SHAVING, PIERCING, BRANDING
If you are performing/having
a temporary piercing for a scene, make sure you use a new, disposable sterile
needle. Use this only once and only on one person.
Heat branding is safe - as
the heat of the branding iron kills the virus. Any kind of knife
branding/scarring should only be done with a knife that is sterilized or
soaked in alcohol for 20 minutes
Piercing, branding, shaving...
if there are any drops of blood wipe them away with a cotton ball with
alcohol on it. You can also use prepackaged alcohol swabs if you
have access to them. Before you start anything like this you should
clean the area thoroughly with rubbing alcohol.
WHIPPING
ELECTRIC TORTURE
Only use electric charges below
the heart level... you do not want to affect the electrical system of the
heart.
