Update your plan to account for risks or issues you uncover

Once you know what activities you are interested in, and have discussed the other factors above, clearly state any potential risks and make sure everyone understands and accepts them.

Change your plans account for or avoid the risks you uncover and for other potential issues and problems that may unexpectedly arise.

There are a thousand weird-ass things that could happen. What will you both do if:

  • The bottom says they’re numb?
  • Someone gets nauseated or vomits?
  • Someone has a panic attack?
  • Someone is triggered in some way (flashback/trauma response)?
  • The Bottom faints?
  • The Top starts to feel faint?
  • The fire alarm or a tornado siren goes off?
  • You get a call from a family member?
  • Someone knocks on the door?
  • Someone goes into diabetic shock or has a heart attack?
  • Your neighbor calls the cops because they hear weird noises?
  • The Top has a crisis of confidence? Remember, consent apply to Tops as well as bottoms!

For each applicable risk, determine how you will manage it.
