***💭How does BDSM work?*** It's a framework that contains the boundaries of power exchange we wish to experience. These boundaries were determined and evolved according to the idiosyncrasies of each era and are known as safety protocols. The most well-known, in order of appearance, are: **SSC, RACK, PRICK, and CCC, although new ones continue to emerge, such as FRIES.** **SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual):** This concept, created by David Stein in 1983, is the most well-known of all and is usually referenced when discussing BDSM in the vanilla world. For a long time, 'sane' was mistranslated as 'healthy.' To change this, it was argued that the healthiness or lack thereof of a practice is too relative and subject to personal interpretations. Instead, it's proposed to seek what is sensible through common sense, as if that were not ambiguous. **RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink):** is a set of principles within the BDSM community that emphasizes a more nuanced approach to risk management and consent compared to the more traditional SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) mode. RACK acknowledges that BDSM activities inherently involve risks, both physical and psychological, and that participants should be fully aware of these risks before engaging in any play. This awareness extends not only to the participants themselves but also to any potential spectators or bystanders. **CCC (Committed Compassionate Consensual):** Due to a high level of trust and self-awareness, the session flows within the framework of meta-consent and total power exchange. In this system, the submissive person's requirements or desires are not negotiated; instead, boundaries or unwanted activities are determined beforehand. **PRICK (Personal Responsability Informed Consensual Kink):** This principle emphasizes personal responsibility in BDSM activities, ensuring that all parties involved are informed about the potential risks and consenting to their participation knowingly and willingly. PRICK builds upon the foundational principles of SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) and RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink), adding an emphasis on personal responsibility for one's actions and choices within BDSM dynamics. It underscores the importance of individuals taking ownership of their roles and decisions in BDSM play, including understanding their own limits, communicating openly with their partners, and continuously assessing risk factors throughout their interactions.
