Answer
Hello...

Thanks for coming to me with your question.  i hope i can help you find the answers you are looking for.

Engaging in such play by yourself is certainly not safe.  Blood play, such as cutting, should only be done by those very experienced in such things and only after taking precautions in case something goes wrong.  There is always the danger of cutting into a major blood vessel, or in some other way not being able to stop the bleeding.  If you do lose a lot of blood, you could lose consciousness or otherwise be unable to call for help yourself.  There are also issues having to do with blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis and AIDS, if you use instruments that are not sterile.

i love bondage also, but there is a danger involved in doing it to the point that the body part bound up becomes  numb.  This could result in nerve damage, either temporarily or permanently.  An uncommon but not-unheard-of complication is having to amputate the body part involved.

There are ways to engage in this kind of play, and do it safely.  i strongly encourage you to do some research, and also to find a BDSM group meeting in your local area that will allow you to interact with others who enjoy this kind of play and show you how to do it safely.  You can find a listing of such groups, by state, at http://www.drkdesyre.com

Here are some other good websites that you can go to, to learn about how to play safely:

Good luck to you, and safe playing!  If you have any other questions, feel free to send them my way.
