It all comes down to communication.Originally Posted by greeneyes
You both have to know what it is you want out of the relationship/experience so the first step is to sit down together and talk about it.
Using a checklist can be helpful and can make it easier to decide on what your perceived limits are, both hard and soft. I say perceived because they will quite likely change as you grow and learn together.
Remember it's not all about pleasing the Dom. There are two people in any relationship and if you are not getting what you need then the relationship is likely to be short.
Don't aim too high at the start. Take it easy and be prepared to experiment.
Above all remember to play safe and not to give consent lightly.
Hope this helps
