Community Guidelines

Welcome! The Play Safe forum is here to make sex better for everyone. Being able to have good, honest conversation is important. Keep that in mind when choosing your words.

These forums are not monitored 24/7 and we cannot guarantee that someone will see or reply to anything you post. This is not counselling or a crisis service. If you need to talk to someone now click here.
