SAMPLE BASIC CONTRACT

This is just one example of a contract... please feel free to take anything from this that is appropriate to your situation.  There are also a number of other samples on the web.  I strongly recommend that you do some research and take from other samples that you find appropriate for your situation.  This is by far and away not the only idea for a contract... only a suggestion, as no two relationships are the same - every dynamic is different- therefore chances are no two contracts will be identical.  Let Me re-post this caveat, while I am NOT a lawyer, I can pretty much assure you that a BDSM contract will NEVER be upheld in a court of law, especially between a Dom and a slave so the trust in all parties involved in the contract is critical.  In order to know, trust and respect each other takes time and is absolutely essential - obviously I can not emphasize this enough.  When drafting a contract think of it as if you were hiring an Independent Contractor.  It should lay out the needs, wants, desires and benefits of all parties involved.  There should also be escape clauses.  Do to the dynamics of BDSM there is always a chance the parties might very well outgrow one another.  An example might be that one of the parties decide that they desire to try something and find out that they really enjoy it and the other party refuses to even try it or decide that, after trying it, it is NOT for them.  If there is a short time left in the contract the parties might decided to stick it out for the duration or you might just decide to go your separate ways.  Another way of dealing with this situation is to find someone else to scene with for that particular aspect.  An example might be fire play (My /sub wife and I are starting to experiment with that (after W/we received PROPER training from an experienced Domme who has dealt with fire play for quite some time).  If the sub/slave decides that they wish to experience fire play and the Dom has NO interest in it and does not believe that the Dom can keep their sub/slave safe through this particular activity they may refuse to let them scene with anyone.  If that is the case you might be better off going your separate ways.  If on the other hand, the Dom decides that they would like to try it, and the sub/slave refuses there are a couple of options.  You could find someone to scene with periodically that the Dom could use fire play on - keeping the status quo with the existing relationship or decide to go your separate ways.  Of course there is always the possibility of neither party ever experimenting with fire play in that case as well.  However, is that fair to everyone involved?  This is just something to consider.
