Hi there!

I'm toying with the idea of offering female domination services, my buddy recently switched after being a sub for 6 years and is having a great time. To be honest I'm a bit envious of all the nice, polite guys she sees and that she can be a bitch to them if they annoy her!

But I wouldn't want to go into it without some kind of contract, saying that they requested the services I'm offering and as an example, if they ask me to spank them harder then they can handle I cannot be blamed for any overly red bottoms that wives/girl friends may notice.

Does anyone else offering Domme services use something like this? Do they work? And if, gods forbid, someone ask for more than they can handle and end up hurt, can this kind of disclaimer protect me?

Thanks

Wow!

Thanks Ruby, that was a really interesting read!

You're right though, it may not serve any purpose legally, but it may be worth doing anyway, just to get a good idea of the boundaries the sub feels confident with...

I'd still love to hear from anyone who does use contracts, or any other methods Dommes use to cover their backs

If you are concerned about how much of a spanking etc. a person can take, it is probably best to have a "safe" word to use during your session.  By safe word I mean a word that would be used out of context during play, such as red or umbrella.  That way if you are hurting the client too much he can use the safe word, and you'll know to stop or ease up.  Don't use the word "stop" though, as experience has taught me that submissives like to beg/plead with you to stop whilst playing.  This is part of their role of been a submissive.
 As for a contract, Jessi is right about not been able to give their consent to assualt.  It wouldn't stand up in court.  Check out the link below

You'd also be hard pushed to get anyone to sign one, as most clients are paranoid about their privacy, and would fear that the contract would be used other than in the session itself, or fall into the wrong hands.  It is however a good idea to ask if a client does have any health problems etc. before you start.  That way you can gage how far you want to go for your own safety as well as the clients.
