- Rules to Love By
1: Safe, sane, consensual, and informed
2: KNKI: Knowledge, No Intolerance, Kindness, Integrity
3: “Submission is not about authority and it’s not about obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul Young

- Primal Play Defined
- http://www.bdsmwiki.info/Primal
- Primal play in the kink context is getting to a place where the masks of civilization can fall away and allow for acting on urges and impulses more directly.
These can be raw, rough sexual feelings, but they could also be joy, silliness, deep feelings of love and intimacy, feelings of deep tenderness, even sadness and grief.
“Primal” doesn’t necessarily have to mean “rough” (though it often may); it’s more a matter of being raw and unfiltered, whatever the feelings present are.
The term Primal may refer to a type of play, an identity, or a style of relationships and further primal play is often synonymous with pet play.
Primal tendencies often do not often conform to rigorous structures involved with protocol but often do have a d/s element which is often established through some for of dominance display.
Primal play is sometimes subdivided into preferred roles:
Primal Predator: A primal who seeks to hunt and attempt to capture prey.
Primal Prey: A primal who seeks to be hunted by a predator.
RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink)
Primal play frequently contains elements of rough body play and fear play.
It is important to note that intentionally evoking raw and unfiltered emotions and reactions can sometimes lead to increased safety risks (emotionally and physically) due to loss of self control. Because of this potential, some may consider primal play to be a form of edge play.

- A primal is someone who enjoys primal play. Primal play is a style of BDSM that focuses on raw feelings and actions that are evoked by natural impulses and urges. Social norms and niceties are discarded for a very unfiltered self. The civilized shell gives way to emotions and sexual desire that ranges from happiness, joy, playfulness, silliness, sadness, and grief. It is arguable that one cannot be fully primal out of prioritizing safety and comfort. However, primal play allows the submissive who loves to be fully dominated to experience their fantasy. This practice involves using the kink tools we were born with: nails, hair, teeth, and skin. Primal play is based around the concept of retreating back to the primitive animal persona, where labels and protocols don't apply. Wrestling, pulling hair back, biting, and growling are some of the many things that fit into this style of BDSM.

- Kinkly explains Primal
- Primal play is a form of BDSM practice that displays raw, emotional, sexual feelings. Being primal includes fighting and animalistic tendencies. Subsequently, it is important that the dominant and submissive are communicative with one another to ensure comfort with the situation. The primal state is purely instinctual. Reason and learned behavior are tossed out when practicing primal play with a partner. As long as there is a high level of trust between the two partners, primal play can be a very intimate and explosive BDSM and sex practice.
