Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning. Translations: – Norsk 汉语 - tiếng Việt – Español – Italiano - Français – Magyar - Português – română – Deutsch – Suomi – Svenska - Čeština – Русско -Íslenska – Nederlands – Audio Version The new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. How did this captain know – from fifty feet away – what the father couldn’t recognize from just ten? The Instinctive Drowning Response – so named by Francesco A. Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. (Source: On Scene Magazine: Fall 2006 (page 14)) Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:

Fetish Alliance - BDSM/Fetish PLAYLIST. BDSM/Fetish PLAY LIST Prepared by Jrsygir1(6/2000) This list was inspired by many existing lists on the internet... it was prepared and is intended for educational purposes only and should not be used for commercial gain... please feel free to reproduce and distribute this document free of charge anywhere on the internet or in print. This is a Play list that may help couples figure out what their wants and needs are.

Personally I don't like play lists but sometimes they are good communication tools. When someone fills it out they should indicate if they are filling it out for their ultimate Dominant/Top partner or for someone in particular, taking into consideration the nature of the relationship. How to fill out the forms: I, ________________, am filling this play list out at the request of _______________. My experience in BDSM is best described as (circle one): SEX Is sex something you want in your BDSM relationship? Define sex: Define Safe Sex: PUNISHMENT Do you respond to punishment? Review: Ambrosio’s BDSM Site. By lunaKM on March 30, 2012 One of the very first BDSM related websites I encountered when I was learning about it myself is still in existence and has barely changed. It has gotten bigger though. Ambrosio’s BDSM Site is a single person developed website created in 2000. Ambrosio is from Texas and has worked hard to develop and build his little corner of the web.

There are hundreds of essays from well known to little known people all with their own opinion. Design I don’t think the design has changed in years, if at all. That said, you arrive on the front page to a list of categories, recommendations and section headings. Focus The focus of the site is general BDSM knowledge and information. Content I love the articles on Ambrosio’s site. Writing Style It’s hard to judge writing style when the site is composed of a multitude of authors and styles. Message Effectiveness Do you have a site you’d like to see me review on Submissive Guide? Protocols. First let Me say that in My perception of what umbrella the BDSM community covers there are several things to include when talking about Protocol or Codes of Conduct. BDSM, to Me, represents the entire SM/leather/fetish communities. Leather protocol and codes of conduct can be very different than what you are actually looking for.

Leather protocols, in My opinion, refer mostly to the way the old motorcycle club, gay leathermen, Old Guard, GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) folk and others handle protocol's. Fetish Protocol refers to a just as varied group, which includes spanko's, rubber enthusiasts, foot fetishists, etc... SM protocol is what most people mean when they ask for BDSM or Leather protocols and codes of conduct. That is not to say that if you are interested in one of those other things that I am against it.

Sometimes people get into a belief that they are learning proper SM protocols because they went to a Leather Protocol educational class. What's first? Almost. BDSM Protocols 101 - Master Dale's Lifestyle Community Bulletin Board. September 5, 2006 BDSM Protocols 101 INTRODUCTION by LES IS MORE(m) Copyright? 2005 What I am trying to convey in this document is a guide, not a hard and fast set of rules. Generally as long as you have good manners are courteous, polite and respectful it is proper protocol. Dom protocols First is public protocol You as a Dom are responsible to your community, your friends and your family.

In general conversation a sub, from time to time, may forget to use the honorific Sir / Ma'am or Mr. / Ms. and may even make another minor mistake. 6 The polite way is to request service IE: ? It is recommended for your own safety to quickly find a friend to help ? 8 Sub protocols First is public protocol You, as an unowned sub, are responsible to your community, your friends and your family. 9 Initiating a conversation with a Dom ? From time to time it is understood that sub may become intimidated or frightened in a group or an unfamiliar situation. Gay Lesbian Bi sexual Transgenders Protocol. BDSM: I'm a beginner thinking of going to a play party. Help! Dom-Space: Raven Shadowborne © There is quite a bit of controversy over the existence or non-existence of Dom-space. Quite a few dominants describe similar experiences during a session that they term "dom-space". Often, new dominants will ask if such a thing exists and if it does, what is it.

Depending on who you ask, is the answer you will get. Dom-space is the dominant's equivalent of sub-space. Like sub-space, each person's experience with dom-space varies. No two people will have exactly the same experiences with this occurance. Unlike sub-space, the dominant does not lose control of their thoughts or actions in most cases. Some people use the term dom-space to describe a mental mindset. Like sub-space, dom-space requires the right atmosphere or trigger in order for the dominant to enter dom-space. The ability to enter dom-space is affected by such things as physical health and stress level. For those who have experienced such emotions or reactions, dom-space is considered a reality.
