Initially you will have to show your ability, above all, to communicate with me. This will remain a constant. My first meeting with you will be conducted either in a public place over coffee, a drink, maybe Dinner or in a playroom, especially if you have never actually seen a BDSM one, in order for me to gain a better understanding of you, and you to gain a flavour of the BDSM Master that I am. Not all Masters are to the taste of all subs and  slaves. it is not something that either should take personally if a mis-match; a square peg is simply not designed to fit in a round hole. If you can not share your hopes, desires and  fears - how can I be expected to use you fully and  effectively for us both? Experienced within the Scene to virginal, it matters not, assumption is dangerous!

There is a phrase that is core to the world of BDSM, "Safe, sane and  consensual'

I believe in this whole-heatedly and  it is to mutual benefit. I should not be reckless enough to tell you to stick your head in a lion's mouth any more than you you should be foolhardy enough to do so without question or discussion. This does not however mean that you may contest my instruction; it simply means that I need to know what your limits are before I engage in any play with you. It might actually mean that I have to hold you back if you are trying to run before you can walk!
