Safe words or Actions!Yes they are important and should be used! So let’s start of explaining what a safe word is shall we. A safeword is a vocal break in play; one that typically halts play completely, but can also be one where slowing down is the direction also, prime example is the use of the traffic light system within play. Safe words are genuinely a simple word or phrase that requires very little thought process to utter as a sign of distress or caution whilst in any type of sexual ( yes even in sex it can be used) and non sexual scene. A safe action is similar and used to replace if the scene requires gagging etc, making things become non verbal. Actions as simple as thumbs up or thumbs down, stamping of the foot or the 5 finger code. But GG I don’t use them, I don’t think I should use them as I’m the Dom and I will tell them when they are done…well I think you should use them and stop being a twit. They are implemented for everyone’s safety and it’s not ‘a goal’ to make someone use it. Yes ladies, gentleman, and all people under the sun, you guessed it I have had arguments about this with doms masters owners subs etc. We all know that doing certain actions with bdsm play can be very risky and basically depending where you are from illegal also. Impact play for instance you are under consent injuring another person on purpose to cause them harm no matter what way you look at it that’s what your doing… now imagine you refused to use safe words you took it too far your play partner decided to take legal action against you? They have the bruises cuts etc not you… Safe words and actions are installed to not take play to a dangerous uncomfortable levels! I myself have limits and use safe words, yes a Dom has a safe word! If I feel it’s going to far or over my own limits I will call it and get into both parties after care programmes if needed. I personally don’t play with anyone who doesn’t have an agreed safe word and action in place due to this nature, yes you don’t have to have one, but for everyone’s safety I would choose to have one.
