Safe words!

We’re talking safewords words today kiddos. In my opinion, they are one of the most important aspects in this community next to communication but they also go hand in hand. A safeword is a word used during a scene or 24/7 sub/dom (and the nsfw side of cg/l) dynamic. It needs to be something you would never accidentally say while in the moment or just in everyday life.

Common Safe words-

* green for go

* Yellow for slow down or need a break

* Red for stop immediately

I refer to this as coloring out and I’ve seen the term used a lot in the community. I believe that while doing an intense scene or pushing your subs limits you should check on them throughout by asking their color.

Other Safeword suggestions

* pineapple

* Unicorn

* Dragon

* Freeze

* Mango

* Phone number (from a book. It’s actually sad)

* Ladybug

* Apple

* Drop

The list could go on and on and on. It just has to be a random word that will get your doms attention quickly. Doms who do not listen to safe words are to be avoided at all costs. This is very bad and very dangerous for the submissive, safewords are there to protect you. Not to be taken lightly.

Those are verbal safewords, if the sub can not speak for this or that reason then there are still ways to give them the ability to safeword.

* hold a ball in your hand. Drop it to safeword.

* A small metal bar, drop to safeword

* Tap a designated spot on your body

* Clap( if possible)

* If not, shake your hands(like jazz hands)

* A button strapped to the subs palm, press it so it makes an alerting noise

These can also go on and on. It is really just what works for you and what will get your doms attention efficiently.

A fair amount of new subs or subs with a new dominant do not like to safeword because they feel it makes them look weak, this is absolutely not the case. Safewords are always appropriate whenever they are needed! Do not force yourself to do something you are not comfortable with to please anyone! They are meant to keep you safe, comfortable, and happy.

That’s all for today. Be good, be safe, and have fun!
