Choose a safe, consensual partner and confirm boundaries beforehand
Ask for consent and agree on intensity and stop signals
Start with gentle pressure and short contact
Use clean hands and avoid biting too hard
Place the bite on a soft area (e.g., upper chest, shoulder, upper arm)
Keep the bite brief (just a few seconds)
Release pressure slowly and check the skin immediately
Use a light kiss or touch right after to reduce irritation
Avoid breaking the skin, especially if you have sensitive skin or poor circulation
Avoid areas with visible irritation, bruising, moles, or scars
Avoid biting over joints or where you might cause injury
Never bite if either person has a bleeding disorder, takes blood thinners, or has mouth/skin infections
Keep nails and teeth hygiene in mind to prevent accidental scratches or infection
Aftercare: wipe gently if needed and apply a cool compress if it becomes sore
Stop immediately if pain, numbness, or excessive redness occurs
If skin breaks, bruising is severe, or there are signs of infection, seek medical advice
