For me, sessions may include fireplay (check for burned/scorched areas, blistering, etc.), cutting (cuttings must be cleaned and treated to prevent infection, -or-, if the cutting is intended to be a permanent marking, a special ointment is rubbed in to cause the cutting to scar), play piercing (like cutting, puncture wounds must be properly cared for to prevent infection), real piercing (see above), tattooing (again, see above), or branding (see above -burn treatment and scar treatment). In the next several years, I'll be learning to brand, do regular piercings, and prepare suspension piercings. My adult daughter will be doing our tattoos. Right now, we work with outside professionals for these things. In either case, we follow recommended aftercare. We don't do a lot of bondage, but I do know from having taken A&P (anatomy and physiology) that holding people for long periods of time in static positions can cause changes in oxygenation -- everything from cutting off circulation to limbs to blood clots. It's probably a good idea to keep an eye out for this kind of stuff -- to have someone around who is aware of the possibilities. Sometimes, you have a bottom who looks fine right after a scene, and then collapses 10-15 minutes later, when the full impact of the scene hits. Some folks it will never bother -- but how do you know? We've had bottoms who have taken hellacious beatings and were happy as larks after. We've had other bottoms who did a brief clamping scene and fainted... We've had a bottom who took a cutting scene without blinking an eye, and the -same- bottom fainted dead away when having hir earlobe pierced. We err on the side of caution, because that's common sense. Then again, common sense is rarely common. Calla Firestorm
