I am not new to cutting, I know the safe places to cut, as an ex self harmer I am very aware of safety, first aid, emergency procedures etc. I am safe. This isn't self harm by proxy, as someone who self harmed for many, many years, it's a pain I've come to enjoy and crave. You may like being spanked (as do I), I like being cut in the same way. I'm okay - I promise!

However, when I get into subspace, I get frenzied and want too much. Much more than is safe. My Dom and I have played with blood and blades before, remotely, and we will be meeting again soon and I hope to play with this kink when we do (we are both very into it). He is always very self aware and in control, and I know he will keep me safe. Actually, I trust him more than I trust myself with this.

So my question is, to those of you into this very specific type of play, how do you keep yourself safe and sentient whilst engaging? I know he will stop when appropriate, but the pain is so sweet, I genuinely can't get enough (yeah, I'm a giant masochist).
