Since D/s is not necessarily a physical activity, there is less
physical risk in such relationships. But both partners should be aware of one's mental health at all
times, and be wary of people who may take advantage in a D/s relationship.
Especially subs must be aware of Dom/mes who seek to isolate you from others in the community or who
seek money or title to your property.
Dom/mes should also be concerned for their own mental health in additon to that of the sub, the
strain of increased responsibility and the curse of "tops disease", a feeling of infallibility and
omniscience.
One should also be concerned about unstable subs who can cause financial or personal ruin with a
trip to a lawyer or Police station.
