INSIGHT

Safe Words Are A Consent Tool

  • Safe words are mainly for play that requires 'no' to sometimes mean 'no' and sometimes be part of the scene.
  • They are a small but vital facet of consent and a common entry point into kink communication.
ADVICE

Use The Stoplight System

  • Use a stoplight system (green/yellow/red) so meanings stay simple and easy to recall mid-scene.
  • Pick colors or single words that won't come up in the scene and negotiate any extra meanings beforehand.
ADVICE

Pick Recognizable Words And Specific Colors

  • Prefer universal, easy-to-remember safe words like 'red' so bystanders or house staff can intervene.
  • Use extra colors for specific needs (medical, panic, bathroom) to convey precise actions quickly.
