Okay-can you at least give me a clue as to what the acronyms stand for? You know I am still a newbie here, and eager to learn, but you just threw too much at me at once.
As for one rule-I was referring to any need to label yourself, or be "a real sub" or "a real dom," other than doing what pleases you and your partner. And, while I will try to do some research on what you just presented, I don't think SSC is a bad idea for a couple who are both new to this.
Not being disrespectful, just saying it's not a bad place for them to start, and more important than worrying about labels at this point.
