Why This Guide Exists
This guide is here to give a simple and safe way to set up rewards and punishments for bastinado (foot punishment). The goal is to keep things fun, clear, and safe. If done right, it can make the experience more enjoyable for both sides.
It’s important to always play safely and respect limits. If anything feels wrong or unsafe, stop and talk about it.
