[edit] Safety Concerns
BDSM Safety:
Safety can be a major concern with the fetishes involved in this type of play. Often use of a safeword is implemented. The words “no” and “stop” are not used as safe words considering that they are normally part of a scene. A safe word would be something abnormal like “red light” or a random word chosen that is agreed upon before the session. In a scenario where the submissive is gagged or speaking is not allowed in a scenario, a non-verbal signal is used instead of a safe word. In some situations, a submissive may have full trust in his or her master and at that point, may not need to use a safe word at all. This is up for debate in the BDSM community.
- Safe, sane, and consensual~ Attempts should be made not to risk a person’s health in any way. Any type of play should be done with a sane and clear mind. Both parties should give full consent before anything can take place.
- Risk-aware consensual kink~ Thought is given to risk involved. Awareness is made of the activities and risks involved. Agreement is made to carry the actions out. Alternative sex is involved. This is pretty much the same as SSC, but taking into consideration edge play.
Forniphilia Specific:
There are many attributes that go into creating items with a human. You have to be extremely careful with any products or materials you use. You have to have knowledge and experience with everything you will be using.
In addition, the style of bondage and the contortion of the person should be taken into consideration. Tight bondage is necessary to achieve the positions ideal for making the furniture, the maximum amount of time a person should be in tight restraints is a couple of hours. Straps are the best to use as they don't cut off circulation as much as rope does. Respiration is something that needs to be watched closely. The pressure of being folded and compressed will restrict chest movement. Listen to the woman, find out what she is comfortable with, and if she is having trouble breathing, take a break and wait until she is ready to start again.
