And educate your self and your partner before acting on any hard core desires. Discussing wishes/dreams/desires are important in a regular sexual relationship, but even more so in BDSM since it is possible to hurt one another.
I must say I'm concerned with this because of your age and both of you being inexperienced, but I realize you're probably going to go ahead with it so I want you to be as safe as possible.
You are getting very good advice here. I don't have any problem with role playing, but due to your inexperience I would encourage you to stay away from the hardcore activities, such as asphyxiation (choking or smothering) or immersion (pretend drowning). There are cases of unintentional fatalities resulting from those activities.
A
safe word is a signal that is used to let the partner know that the person is really in distress, not just pretending. This is very important since pretending to be in distress or saying "stop" are often part of BDSM play. A safe word really mean's "stop."
There are cases of people failing to start normal breathing after playing "space monkey" or "the pass-out game, " activities that cause people to pass out by disrupting breathing. I would encourage you to stay away from anything involving the neck or mouth as well as anything that restricts breathing. Remember, anything around the ribcage can make a person unable to breathe. Frankly, there are many activities that can be enjoyed with very little risk, such as gently binding someone's hands with a bandana. Take it slow.
