Do no harm to oneself or other!

When people come to the BDSM world they are here for experience pleasure or something that makes them happy, this is the reason for rule number one. Let me explain. There is a big difference between hurt and harm.  Hurt is temporary, such as a bee sting or the sting of a crop. Harm is long lasting or permanent, like the loss of a limb, despair, PTSD, emotional wounds. 

No one is perfect and accidents happen so make sure you are prepared for it. As a Dominant, this is YOUR responsibility. 

When you take this rule into the light of Financial Domination, set strict ground rules. Limits that you pay attention to. As a Domme, being drunk, high or intoxicated in any way what so ever when in session with a submissive is dangerous. Why? Because you are not thinking clearly. Limits can and will be crossed because you are not in a clear state of mine. People get hurt. One of you must be able to respond quickly if an emergency happens period.

There is also a difference between fantasy and reality. Use common sense. As a Domme you can make a sub hurt with a tiny budget but they also need to be able to eat and pay bills. Budgeting can be done for this.
