yes when someone is part of a dungeon/club groups....then tend to be alot safer in fact.....why? becuase they have friends and referances to be a member of a dungeon means someone else spoke on thier behalf for them to become a member, and the ones who can,t fallow the rules get banned from the dungeon period...So which would you rather meet a dom who has no ties to the bdsm community, that no one knows, or a card carrying member at a dungeon?? I know which I would choose...
