Any information acted upon from this site is done so strictly by the person themselves and they should be held personally responsible for their own actions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prep time:
1. All individuals involved in the bloodletting practice, get tested for all communical diseases (HIV, STD's, Hep's, and various others ones), in America, I believe you can get a medical heath worker tests done (which also provides you with a card stating you are safe), which covers everything! If an explanation you can give for the reasoning of the tests, say you are doing some medical volunteer work, and you want to be covered.
2. Talk with everyone involved, make sure they know what they are getting into, safe words are issued so everyone knows when to stop if it gets to be too much, and the procedures are covered as well.
3. Make sure you get all equipment ready, that they are sterile and safe (ie.. no rusty or jagged blades). I recomment buying individually wrapped scaple blades (you can buy them at any medical supply store) if that is not accessable then try exacto blades (but make sure you sterilize them good. Also, make sure they are placed out properly for easy and safe access. Make sure you have a really good first aid kit, one with butterfly bandaids, compresses, needle and tread, iodine, and a whole lot more. Also, another good note to have is phone numbers close by... prefferably someone that knows medical supervision that is in the scene (trust me it is better to call them than trying to explain to the police) also have emergency numbers too.
Picking areas:
4. When I teach people, I show them what a tendon and ligaments look like under the skin. Then tell them NOT to go near them! So hands, wrists, ankles, tops of feet, and joints are off limits.... until the become VERY experienced in cutting. Most places I suggest for beginners is the back shoulder, abdomen, thighs. They are all very seductive and safe (even if you happen to cut a little deeper than you thought).
Preparing the skin;
5. Use a alcohol wipe over the area, let it dry, pull the skin taut with fingers, make a lite incision (not breaking the skin) to get the person use to the blade. Then watching how much pressure you are applying and how much the blade is going in, cut again into the skin. I recommend about an inch in length and no more than just breaking the skin in depth (you can practice to what each of you are comfrontable with as far as length and depth). Place the blade aside in a safe place then where the fingers were pulling the skin taut they should push together forming an open wound so the blood can pool inside of the wound. Let the blood pool, then either drink or lick what is available. Do not suck out the blood! This can cause serious damage to the wound, which will cause the wound to become infected and take a lot more time to heal. Some very lite sucking is allowed and will not do much damage (all this takes practice between the parties involved, each person is different and will react differently). The repeative pooling and drinking of the pooled blood such be enought to suffice any desire of bloodletting. Another aspect of bloodletting (different from the pooling method) is the leaking method. This method just allows the blood to leak along the skin and then is licked off. However in this method the blood clots quite quickly and the cut closes up faster.
After session
After the session of bloodletting is done. Clean out the wound, iodine and peroxide, place neosporin or another anti-baterial oniment and cover the wound. If the cut is deep but not deep enough for stitches, place a butterfly bandaid on it... is design is for added support for deep cuts. Clean all areas around the wound as well, and have the person keep an eye out for infections or continous bleeding. In most cases, the wound should close in a matter of hours... but support is still need cause it can reopen and any sign of stress.
Take used blade, wipe off blood, then wrap it in tape (making sure the sharp edges cannot cut anyone. Then throw it away. I do not recommend reusing blades or using them on different people (such as using one blade for multiple partners). Also afterwards, talk with each other making sure everyone is alright, physically and emotionally.
Some legal suggestions
It was brought to my attention by a viewer that I should put on here some legal issues. So as I get them, I will place them here.
The person should cut themselves and offer the blood to the other. This covers most instances of aggravated assault.
