Domination question

[Curvaceous Kate]

And my advice to him for the moment til he knows what he wants,would be to miss those professional dommes who list such things as "burn" and "inflicting pain" amongst their favourites with nary a G.F.E. in sight.Likewise "branding"-more suited to the wild west in my thoughts.

To be fair I don't agree with that either (oh contrary me). It's important to see someone who knows what they are doing even at basic levels. They need to know what you are interested in and how to keep it safe without losing control. You should discuss a safe word and also what you would not be happy with, so boundaries are kept. Personally I have a check list that allows a 0 to 5 rating of each activity, so I have at my finger tips what the client is confident with, enjoys and what they would never touch with a barge pole.

An amateur could easily cross boundaries through ignorance, so never a good option.
