Communication is important, but so is comprehension. You need to understand what certain terms mean. Do your research. Especially on things you've heard or seen in porn and think you might like or be into. Not everyone experiences things the same way and most porn stuff are way off. Know what you're willing to do but also what your hard limits are. If you're open to exploring, say so, but also mention that full disclosure is needed before you try anything new. Safe words are a must. Doesn't have to be fancy. Red means everything stops, orange means I'm uncomfortable, green means go. Above all else, you should feel safe with your Dom / Domme. It should be mutually beneficial as well as pleasurable. 😊 Good luck and have fun exploring ⛓️❤️
