Kink, D/s, BDSM, etc., can cover a huge amount of ground, and is different for everyone. If you're new to this stuff, or even just curious, we recommend you learn as much as you can.
In addition to our own podcast, "SUBMISSION AND COFFEE", we recommend (and were helped ourselves) by the following resources for safe, sane, and healthy BDSM practices between consenting adults.
WEB RESOURCES:
Wikipedia article on BDSM (great place to start)
Acid Test For Doms (this could save your life)
BDSM U (Covers basic concepts, education and terms. Is on Bondage.com, but you don't have to join to read. Dollie and ThornDaddy met on Bondage.com, a long time ago, but the site has gone way down hill since Penthouse bought it out, and we don't recommend becoming a member. Same with Alt.com. Don't bother.)
BOOKS WE LIKE:
When Someone You Love Is Kinky
And of course, Dollie's book Diary of an S&M Romance and ThornDaddy's book: HOW TO FUCK A WOMAN'S BRAINS OUT
FRIENDLY FREE KINKY WEB COMMUNITIES WE LIKE:
Safe place for Subs and Slaves
LISTS OF LOCAL BDSM ORGANIZATIONS
TOYS:
(And don't forget the endless possibilities to be found at your local home improvement center or pet/equestrian supplier!)
