Expectations You May Want to Discuss.  Bottoms and Tops have needs, wants and boundaries. Both players can use this list to communicate in an email or conversation either in person or on the phone.  It’s hard to do! If you want to play you have to be clear. You can also write a story or find a picture that tells what you like.

There is a long list of choices below but not all them are part of SCONY protocols.  Check the rules before attending a party.
