Safety Is Everything

Safety Manual
by Catherine Gross
1981 (approximately). It
means that all participants are
committed to:

Safety:  taking all precautions
and educating oneself in order
to play as safely as possible;
Sane: Being in an unimpaired
state to make “sane” decisions
which will not recklessly
endanger each other;
Consensuality:  Each party
agrees and freely chooses to
engage in agreed activities.

With SSC used as foundation,
SM may be a powerful tool to
gain intimacy, understanding,
intense physical and emotional
states shared by two or more
individuals.  SM, from an
educated stance, does not
resemble the out of control,
violent scenes at times
imagined by the general public
or portrayed by the media.

It is a loving intimate sexual
expression chosen by sane
adults.











interpret what you may see at
a public gathering or hear
someone discussing.  It is my
hope that the

following pages will provide
you with a basic knowledge of
several areas.

In this short space, it would be
impossible to be in depth
concerning all areas of BDSM.
 Please only use this as a basic
guideline.

SSC is an acronym that stands
for Safe, Sane and
Consensual.  This has become

community at large.  It was
originally used by GMSMA

and may take many forms.  It
is important to respect each
other’s kink.  Not everyone
will gain pleasure from the
same activity.  I feel it is of
value to learn about kinks that
may not be of interest to you.  
It  may help you be tolerant of
other’s kinds and it’s possible
that what you learn may not be
a kink for you now but could
become a kink for you later.  
Knowledge and information








are valuable for your own
clarity on what SM is and isn’t.

In this manual you may read
about activities which have no
interest for you whatsoever.  
Knowledge in all areas, even
within activities you would not
seek to personally engage in, is
recommended.  It will allow
you, perhaps on a future
occasion to better

Diversity is powerful
and basic to SM.   No
two people play the
same....
