 *Mental Play: is the collection of activities intended to create a psychological impact, often without a physical component. See [[Disciplines]].
 *Light Play:  consists of activities that are considered mild and/or carry little social stigma. This especially includes BDSM elements commonly practiced by "vanilla" couples. Most [[SSC]] practices will be on this side of the spectrum. Light bedroom [[bondage]], light [[sensation play]] and casual [[spankings]] are examples of light play.
-*Heavy Play:  indicates elements that are intense and/or carry substantial social stigma. The bulk of activities undertaken by BDSM participants would be considered heavy play or as bordering on heavy play. Most [[RACK]] practices will be on this side of the spectrum.Examples of heavy play may include [[caning]], [[suspension]] bondage, and erotic [[hypnosis]].

 *[[Edge Play]]: Play that is considered especially dangerous.  Examples will vary widely by perception, but often include things such as knife, degradation, and fear play.
 *[[BORK]]: Play that is considered exceptionally dangerous and in many cases well over the edge of what many would consider is acceptable risk.  Examples may include cutting for the purposes of permanent body modification, auto erotic asphyxia and others.

 *Incidents of [[sub space]] are planned for and [[aftercare]] areas and supplies are set up in advance for reception.

-*Appropriate levels of privacy are ensured (Doors are locked, curtains are closed, kids are at the babysitters house, etc.). Remember that involving others that are not negotiated and consenting to the scene can cause a consent violation.

Many players find it useful to place mobile phones on silent before beginning a scene.
 *Tools, safety equipment and furniture to be used are free from debris, inspected, tested, disinfected, and laid out appropriately. It is often considered bad form to rummage through your toy bag mid scene for a specific implement required, though some tops may prefer implements not be visible to the bottom before play begins for psychological purposes.  Covering items or bottom with a sheet or otherwise obscuring them is also a simple matter, or use of a blindfold can assist in this.
