Freedom within slavery... The journey to me.

repared?
by Rusty Farmer
Are you prepared to deal with the welts and bruises your hands and toys may bring?
Are you prepared to handle accidentally cutting open the flesh with your toys, either from your
bad aim or the submissive moving? Even if the scars never heal?
Are you prepared for the accidental breaking of a bone?
Are you prepared for the accidental burning of the flesh?
Are you prepared for accidentally putting out an eye, rupturing a vital organ?
Are you prepared for your submissive to pass out?
Are you prepared for your submissive to freak out?
Are you prepared for your submissive to go insane? To the point of commitment?
Are you prepared for a suicidal submissive? A successful suicidal submissive?
Are you prepared to put back all the pieces?
Will you act calmly when any of these disasters occur? ...Rationally? ...Quickly?
How versed are you in first aid?
Will you panic yourself at the sight of your submissive's blood?
Will you watch your submissive burn, or will you cover her with your own body to extinguish
the flames?
Do you know the number to *** 911 ***? ...Are you sure?
Can you deal with yourself when you accidentally hurt yourself? Hurt them badly? If they are
scarred forever?
Do you really believe that accidents won't happen to you?
Or do you expect them? Because you know they will happen no matter how hard you try to make
a scene safe, no matter how experienced you are, no matter how many times you have done the
same thing before? ** Is your guard always up **? Are you always on your game?
Do you realize how fucking dangerous this all is?
A split second, an inch too far with a whip will slice someone open, disfigure them for life, or
put out eyes in an instant.
Two inches too high with a paddle will break a tailbone. Months of intense pain and rehab for
the submissive. Have you ever gotten so wrapped up in a scene where you could miss by only 2
inches?
A wrap over the shoulder with a heavy flogger can snap a collar bone in an instant. How perfect
is your aim? Drop that same heavy flogger too low and the submissive will be pissing blood
from the bruised kidney. Just how good are you? Can you keep your concentration up when the
submissive has an orgasm? Will your excitement alter your aim?
Did you look to see where the air vents were the last time you played with fire? Why not? You
know what a quick burst of wind can do to a flame don't you? Do you like the smell of burning
flesh?
What happens when you take the play piercing out and blood shoots 10 feet in the air? Are you
ready for this? Can you handle your submissive's panic when you go through an artery instead of
muscle or skin?
What are you going to do when the submissive starts bawling in the middle of a scene? Crying so
hard he/she can't, won't talk? What if this goes on for over an hour, what are you going to do?
If you split their ass open with a cane or pull a nipple halfway off with a clip, are you going to
use a Band-Aid or are you going to take them to the hospital? What are you going to say if you
have to show up at a hospital with a submissive? Have you ever given that any thought?
What if the submissive has a total breakdown? Are you going to take her to the hospital for that?
Will you wait in the lobby for her? For days? Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to keep a
despondent submissive from taking their own life? Will you be there to explain things to their
parents if you can't stop it?
** Have you thought about any of this? **
Are you REALLY prepared to be a Dominant?
