Safe word

[liliput1]

While on the one hand I love the mischievousness and the tone of the "i think I'm totally fucked" comment - I have to say that it is not a good practice to eschew a safeword. Even if you don't plan to use it, it is for sure a best practice to have one and to agree to it with your Dominant as part of your contract for play.

Obviously if this is a repeat play partner or someone that you are in a relationship with, and you want to go without a safeword (as my amazing slave does with me, for example), so be it. But certainly with anyone occasional, an unused safeword is far better than no safeword and need to use one.

As pilots are fond of saying, there is no benefit to fuel left in the tank on the ground, or runway behind you...

I have managed twice in my life to almost choke on my own saliva. I don't know how my ancestors survived for billions of years with such a booby trap built into our genes but there it is.

Also the odd muscle cramp can ruin my whole day.

Is there such a thing as an unsafe word? Like if a sub wants you to push harder?

It's this question and ones like it that help me understand why some people use traffic light colors instead of safewords.

This is a legitimate 'green' situation. And "I'm freaking out a little but I don't want to end this scene" is a great "yellow" example.
