The Essential Femdom BDSM Checklist: A Guide for Beginners
Understanding Femdom BDSM
Femdom BDSM, or female dominance and bondage, offers a unique expression of power dynamics in relationships. It’s important for participants, whether they’re newbies or seasoned practitioners, to have a clear understanding of their roles. This guide provides an essential checklist to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
The Femdom BDSM Checklist: Key Elements
Before diving into the world of Femdom BDSM, consider the following elements to enhance your experience. Firstly, establish clear communication. Discuss boundaries, safe words, and expectations with your partner. This ensures both parties are on the same page, fostering trust and safety.

Secondly, focus on consent. Enthusiastic consent is the cornerstone of all BDSM activities. Both the Dominant and submissive must fully agree to the activities they will engage in. Without it, the experience can quickly turn from pleasurable to distressing.
Safety Measures in Femdom BDSM
Finally, make safety a priority. Invest in appropriate gear and ensure you have a safe word in place. Remember, the goal is to create a fun, consensual environment where both partners can explore their fantasies. The Femdom BDSM checklist can assist in navigating these dynamics, as long as preparation and open communication are part of the equation.
By following this checklist, participants can enjoy a more fulfilling and secure Femdom BDSM experience. Explore and enjoy your desires—safely and consensually!

This questionnaire should be filled out by a Sub and provided to their Dom/Top before playing with them. This will provide a quick “head-start” to identifying limits, negotiating and finding common ground for play. For each item, you need to provide two answers:
- First write YES or NO next to each item to indicate if you have ever DONE that activity.
- Mark N/A if it does not apply to your gender.
- Next, indicate for each item how you FEEL about that activity by rating it on a scale of NO or 0 to 5.
- NO means you will NOT do that item under any circumstances (a hard limit).
- 0 (zero) indicates you have utterly no desire to do that activity and don’t like doing it (in fact, may loath it) and would ordinarily object to doing it, but you would be willing to do it to please the Dominant if it they really wanted it. (sometimes called a “soft limit”).
- 1 means you don’t want to do or like to do this activity, but wouldn’t object if it was asked of you.
- 2 means you are willing to do this activity, but it has no special appeal for you.
- 3 means you usually like doing this activity, at least on an irregular/ occasional basis.
- 4 means you like doing this activity, and would like to experience it on a regular basis.
- 5 means the activity is a wild turn-on for you, and you would like it as often as possible.
Mark with an asterisk (*) those items which you are willing to do only with you current sex partner(s), but not with casual play-partners.
Note any additional information which might be important for your Domme to know.
There is intentionally some overlap between categories. Unless otherwise stated, the Sub is the recipient of the activity.
