Danger
Wipipedia does point out that some of the practices described are dangerous. Doing BDSM with strangers that you only know from the Internet is obviously potentially dangerous. It is also potentially dangerous to get yourself tied up and have sexual things done to you with a prostitute that you don't know and with a pimp in the background. People with unusual needs have always involved themseves with prostitutes since well before the Internet began. Users of Wipipedia and of WikiIndex are urged to be extremely cautious unless they have trusted partners.
