Acceptable Risk
“The term “acceptable risk” describes the likelihood of an event whose probability of occurrence is small, whose consequences are so slight, or whose benefits (perceived or real) are so great, that individuals or groups in society are willing to take or be subjected to the risk that the event might occur. The concept of acceptable risk evolved partly from the realization that absolute safety is generally an unachievable goal…”*

Always a good idea to enter a situation with knowledge of what you’re in for…as well as what’s going to be done to you.
Wouldn’t you think?
As a general guideline you’ll find two primary philosophies of well-being in this Lifestyle. Their goal is simple.
Keep you and the people you’re playing with (as well as those observing) safe – within reasonable limits.
Educate yourself, learn, try them on and use them. Doesn’t matter which flavor you choose. Tasting and enjoying is enough.
