this form or one like it, in order to communicate what is wanted and what the
boundaries are. It may seem silly to you, but this is a valuable tool to effective
communication between potential play partners.

Limits Checklist

One of the most important first-steps for anyone involved in BDSM is to establish what it is we like and what we don't. If we, ourselves, don't know, our potential play partners won't know either. After we discover our likes/dislikes, it's important to decide what our limits are so that when we're negotiating play or a scene with a new partner, we can adequately say where we feel safe going, where we're not so sure about going and where we absolutely, positively will *not* go.

Rating Scale:

  (1)  Yes!!! (Pant, drool)

  (2)  Mmmmmmm, I like this.

  (3)  Doesn't excite me, but I'll do it if ordered to.

  (4)  Absolutely not, "safeword" material.

  (5)  Intriguing, scary, would push my limits.

  (6)  Embarrassed to admit wanting, please force me.

  (7)  Never did it, but curious to try
