Just my three-and-a-half cents.
- BDSM checklists are great tools for beginners. Don't wait for him to give you one, search Google for 'bdsm checklist' and fill it out yourself. Even if you don't show it to him, it's good for figuring out your own thoughts.
- Set up a safe call. Don't listen to WD, he's just being cynical. A safe call means that you pre-arrange with a friend that you will call them at a specified time to let them know how things are going. Some people include saying a special phrase with this, so that if the guy IS a psycho and he's watching you make the call, you can say that innocent phrase to communicate to your friend that something is wrong. This applies to anytime you meet someone face to face for the first time, even if it's not a Master-type relationship.
- I think what's missing in this thread so far is clarification of "training" vs. other types of interaction such as sex and sceneing. Yes, the two of you need to discuss things like being tied up, how hard he should beat you, is it okay to leave marks, are you okay with sex on the first date, etc. Knowing how hard you want to be "forced" is also essential. Are you just going to have some kinky, freaky sex? Or is it okay for him to fuck your ass without warning or lube?
All of these things are scenes and sex. But training is something different, and in my opinion the dominant gets to decide what that includes. Maybe he wants to train you in orgasm control, so that you can only come when he gives you permission. Maybe he wants to train you to shed your human inhibitions and become a pony or a puppy. Maybe he wants to train you in how he likes his blowjobs so you'll be an expert. All of these take time, repeated sessions of training, and possibly homework since you're living separately.
Great points Etoile!
