=== Preparation === | |||
* '''Negotiation:''' Do this before the scene begins. Some bottoms become less communicative or nonverbal once they are in sub space. These are the bare minimum checkins | |||
** Does the bottom have any grass allergies? Jute and hemp can cause allergic reactions. | |||
** Does the bottom have any injuries/illnesses? Certain positions can exacerbate preexisting conditions. | |||
** Is the bottom on any recreational drugs or medication? Even prescription medication can affect clotting and breathing, cause fainting, interfere with communication, etc. | |||
** Does the bottom have a history of anxiety/PTSD? Certain positions/bindings/type of touch can trigger anxiety, flashbacks, and claustrophobia | |||
** Can the established safeword/gesture can be heard/seen regardless of positioning, equipment such as gags, and even if nerve function is compromised? | |||
*'''Cutting Tools:''' For any bondage wherein a bottom could be cut out of the bindings, have a cutting tool in your kit and handy. Do not use knives, razors, exposed blades. These can cause serious injuries. Some good options for cutting tools are: | |||

'''Upper body nerve information:''' | |||
Note: Lack of circulation will be feel different than the sensation of nerve compression/issues. Circulation loss is the familiar "pins and needles" tingly numbness of a limb falling asleep. The bottom might feel like the tied limb is a bit cold or moving more slowly. Nerve issues will most likely present in isolated areas of the limb, for example, an icy feeling specifically in the pinky. | |||
In upper body bondage wherein the hands/arms are tied, there are two major nerves to be aware of. | |||
* Radial<ref>{{Cite web |title=Radial nerve - Cleveland Clinic |url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21617-radial-nerve}}</ref> nerve runs back of arm from armpit to hand. It affects: | |||
** Outside thumb/top of hand | |||
** Straightening and raising elbow/hand/fingers | |||
* Symptoms of radial nerve issues are | |||
** numbness/weakness/paralysis in hand/arm including wrist drop<ref>{{Cite journal |last=DeCastro |first=Alexei |date= |title=Wrist Drop |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30422586/#:~:text=Wrist%20drop%20is%20a%20disorder,compromised%20cannot%20actively%20extend%20them. |journal=StatPearls |via=PubMed}}</ref> | |||
** difficulty straightening hand/arm | |||
** difficulty grasping/pinching | |||
* Ulnar<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Ulnar nerve - Cleveland Clinic |url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21664-ulnar-nerve}}</ref> nerve runs from elbow to hand. Entrapment can cause pain and weakness in fingers/hands. It affects: | |||
** Outside of pinky/ring fingers, palm and back of hand on pinky side | |||
** Grip strength<ref name=":2" /> and fine motor skills | |||
** Athletes who use their hands/elbows/wrists heavily, as well as gamers and typists, are more prone to ulnar injury<ref name=":1" /> | |||
** Symptoms of pinched ulnar nerve | |||
*** curved pinky | |||
*** pain in elbow or wrist | |||
*** inability to grasp/fine motor skills | |||
*** numbness | |||
Hand checks: performed while in bondage which crosses wrists/arms (no need in arms free chest harness, etc) | |||
Have bottom tap each finger against their thumb, pinky should feel the same as the other fingers. | |||
Have bottom flex and extend their hands, should have full range of movement | |||
Top place two fingers in bottom's hands and have them squeeze. Should be able to squeeze strongly. | |||
Does my pinky/thumb have a different sensation | |||

if something is serious - cut the rope and call 911, better safe than sorry, tell med professionals what actually happened | if something is serious - cut the rope and call 911, better safe than sorry, tell med professionals what actually happened | ||
