Below are the personal rules that i impose on myself. These are not appropriate for casual "play." i'm sharing this here to help follks understand me... and because there may be some benefit to others in considering my logic (as inherently twisted as it may be) in these rules.
skinny nick's 10 rules for play:
1. Some activity may not be safe (life is not without risk), and some may only be partially sane. You have my consent to determine how safe or sane any activity will be.
2. The Dominant is the only one who gets a safe word (please refer to rule #3).
3. If i don't trust you, i won't play with you. Once i consent, it's in your hands.
4. i'll always be polite, and i'll answer all of your questions to the best of my ability. You are not obligated to answer my questions.
5. i'll clean and put away your equipment (but only with your permission). If you wish, i'll do your laundry, clean the bathroom, and take care of the litter box too. Frankly, it's a privledge to do those things for you.
6. i'll always arrive clean and appropriately dressed.
7. i'll be available to provide after-care. Do you want your feet rubbed? May i get you some water? Do you want me to "get-the-fuck-out"? (Your emotional needs are important. It is important to express my thanks for your attention).
8. You may humiliate and degrade me for solely our own amusement. You may even do so in a manner that really is humiliating and degrading.
9. i'll always respect your privacy and anonymity. (i'm trusting you not to "out me," but accept the risk and consequences that it may happen).
10. Frankly, i'm not expecting to have a good time. Let's make it good for you, and let the chips fall where they may.

Please remember (even if it is a contradiction), i'm a big advocate of SSC. i will always advocate SSC as appropriate guidelines to others (especially for casual play) and the general public.
