WITD 101.33 Negotiations70 viewsNegotiations specifically focuses on approaching a single whip scene with someone who has never felt a whip. Dex never approaches anyone for a first dance. Whip tops should not be predators. Whip bottoms should always watch someone throw and get a sense of the skill level of someone they want to approach for a scene. After a successful, first dance, aftercare, and debriefing, provided the bottom gives good feedback on the experience, Dex will approach someone for a second dance.
