The hallmark cardinal rules of BDSM: a thread https://twitter.com/cruelmistresses/status/1016065873457631233
1-SAFE: BEFORE play, a LONG discussion of limits need to be had. A safe word needs to be implemented (no sub in the world can say they have no limits-if they swear, that is not sane (see # 2). This is not optional. You also need safety things nearby (first aid/scissors/water)
2-SANE: you both MUST be honest about intentions, expectations, abilities, training, & experience. If you aren’t experienced, you need to do research. You wouldn’t interview for a job you aren’t qualified/well educated on. This translates to kink as well. Don’t do anything stupid
3-CONSENSUAL: you both have to WANT all of your agreements. A BDSM contract is very helpful (I’ve linked an ex of one). No one should ever practice any form of BDSM just to make someone happy OR MAKE MONEY (looking @ you TikTok dommes).

These rules are what separates BDSM from criminal, abusive, and dangerous behavior.  Have fun, make money, but make sure to always play responsibly. ïżŒAs the service provider (which is exactly what sex work is: providing a service) these responsibilities fall on YOU.
3-stop being selfish. Sex work is WORK. YOU are providing a service. Dommes are in control but subs GIVE US THAT CONTROL. It’s important to know what you can offer and what they want. Clarity/mutuality is paramount to play.

5- bondage play! Beautiful & dangerous. What knots do I do? What do I use to tie? Where do I tie them to avoid health risks? What about choking/gagging? Where do I LEARN HOW TO UNTIE THE DAMN KNOTS?

Practice. Practice. Practice. Before play.

6 & MOST important. AFTERCARE. Read it again. AFTERCARE. This prevents the serious psychological/physical/emotional damage BDSM can induce. Aftercare is different for everyone, be sure to discuss what your sub needs to stay safe. https://badgirlsbible.com/bdsm-aftercare 
I’ll be adding to this as I find more resources, but that’s all that’s coming to mind right now. I’m a paid professional and personal domme, as well as a sex therapist. I’m more than happy to provide further resources to anyone new to kink. See ya for now :) stay safe!
Consent non-consent play: AKA r*pe play. In my opinion, the most dangerous. The prerequisites to CNC play are exhaustive & non negotiable. It’s complicated for a reason and conversations need to be had MULTIPLE times beforehand. (1/4)
(2/4): goals, hard and soft limits, role play, tools needed, logistics, level of intensity/toughness (Biting/Choking/Hair pulling/Hitting/Kicking/Pinching/ Punching/Scratching/Slapping/bruising/fighting back), AFTERCARE. I’ve linked a basic checklist https://www.google.com/amp/s/bound-together.net/cnc/amp/
(3/4): THEY write the scene. YOU follow. The sub who is “attacked” indicates what they want that to look like, who is “attacking” DOES stray from those boundaries. Create an unusual safe word so even if saying “no! stop!” won’t stop the scene (because they agreed that it won’t).
(4/4). Unique safe words indicate when to stop. If the sub wants to ‘fight back’ then yelling ‘No, stop!’ May be acceptable. Yelling something ridiculous like ‘AVOCADO’ can provide a clear message to cut it. And lastly-AFTERCARE IS ESSENTIAL
Follow up to aftercare because 4 tweets don’t cut it: aftercare is essential for you both. Practicing CNC is a different level. It can inflict severe damage on either/both if done incorrectly. The more intense the CNC, the more aftercare is required.
Encourage talking about what they liked and didn’t like immediately after ot. My advice is to ask “What did you like/dislike the most?” In addition, the days after there should be check-ins & communication. Other examples: https://badgirlsbible.com/bdsm-aftercare
