2: Not sure why this is solely for MY benefit-i.e., to explore MY sensuality and limits. I'm sure I wouldn't need a ten-page contract to do that! Sorely this if for YOUR benefit.

4:As you are aware, you are my only sexual partner. I don't take drugs, and I've not had any blood transfusions. I'm probably safe. What about you?

8: I can terminate at any time if I don't think you're sticking to the agreed limits. Okay - I like this.

9: Obey you in all things? Accept without hesitation your discipline? We need to talk about this.

11:One-month trial period. Not three.

12: I cannot commit every weekend. I do have a life, or will have. Perhaps three out of four?

15.2: Using my body as you see fit sexually or otherwise - please define "or otherwise."

15.5: This whole discipline clause. I'm not sure I want to be whipped, flogged, or corporally punished. I am sure this would be in breach of clause 2-5. And also "for any other reason." That's just mean - and you told me you weren't a sadist.

15.14: The Rules. More on those later.

15.21: Discipline - please see clause 15.5 above.

15.22: I can't look into your eyes? Why?

15.24: Why can't I touch you?

Rules:

Sleep - I'll agree to six hours.

Food - I am not eating food from a prescribed list. The food list goes or I do - deal breaker.

Clothes - as long as I only have to wear your clothes when I'm with you . . . okay.Exercise - We agreed on three hours, this still says four.

Soft Limits

Can we go through all of these? No fisting of any kind. What is suspension? Genital clamps - you have got to be kidding me.

Cam you please let me know the arrangements for Wednesday? I am working until five p.m. that day.

Good night.
