Safe Words

Safe Words This is a term used in the BDSM community. Before the scene begins, all people involved will negotiate what their safe word is. A safe word is a word that can be used during a scene that essentially stops all activity. Typically, safe words are used during a scene when an activity or sensation becomes too scary or uncomfortable, or pushes one’s boundaries beyond his or her threshold. When negotiating a safe word, it helps to choose a word that will not be construed as part of the scene. For example, words like, “no,” “stop,” “enough” are not good choices and may not signal to the partner that you really need to end the play. Try to use words normally are not used during sexual activity. For instance, “watermelon,” “pink,” “cigar, “ “Lucy,” or any other word you can think of that you would be comfortable saying if an activity gets out of control. There are some instances where a person may be gagged or wearing a mask and would be unable to speak. In these scenes the individuals need to negotiate alternative actions or codes that are equivalent to the safe word. Some people may choose to use grunts to signal stop. Other people may decide to tap their fingers, raise one or two fingers, or snap their fingers. Another option is to hold an item in your hands during the scene. If things become too intense, the person can drop the item; this would be the signal or safe word to say that the play time is now over. It is important to remember that regardless of the word or action chosen as the safe word, it must be negotiated before the scene begins, in order to ensure all people feel safe, comfortable, and ready to play.
