Safe Words

So, my wife and I have nice little light bondage sessions now and again. Of course, its always good to have a safe word when doing this. I was just wondering what other people's safe words were. For us it can change from time to time and has been fluffernutter but is more often than not Door Knob. So, what's yours?

Thurisas.

Ours has always been lightbulb - but you know, 'fluffernutter' sounds great!!! LOL

Words can be interchanged and/or mistaken so might I suggest a hand signal or similar to make sure there is no confusion. In a session I often ask my gf to wiggle her fingers if everything is OK so that I know I can proceed cautiously at least. I have actually seen her fall into what is commonly called sub-space where she absolutely would not respond verbally so I found this a better way to communicate without interrupting her mindset completely.

Oh my gawd, Kat, I love it! *giggle*

Comically, we have a hand signal, but it's never been used for sex. Whenever Thurisas tickles me to the point where I can't breathe & I feel I'm going to choke, I stick my middle finger at him -- classy, eh?! *laugh* I don't remember how many years we've had that signal, but I do remember thinking it up with him. When I do it, he knows I REALLY need him to stop and so he stops! I'm guessing if I ever had to do that during sex, he'd get the hint, too. *chuckle* We've talked/written about nonverbal cues in other threads before; it just didn't get mentioned here -- nice catch, pappy.

I know it's rather cliche, but I'm a big fan of using Yellow for slow down, and Red for stop. I like having the option of an intermediate phrase, so that the person in charge of the action can stop the particular action they're doing without breaking the scene completely.

I've never actually had to use my safe words. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that my partners know where my limits are, or if it's a bad thing that no one's tested them!! :o:D

Val that's hilarious - I can see how it would be effective ;) And how did you guys come up with fluffernutter, pretty obscure.

I've had a couple, but of late we use Smurf. Easy to yell out!

*laughing* I've asked Thurisas, but neither of us can remember how we came up with that. I had to laugh at how "proper" he typed it, though. We're from Maine and we don't pronounce our "er"s like that! It's "FluffaNuttah!" ;)

We just try to make sure whatever word we decide upon at the beginning of our tie-play has absolutely nothing to do with anything resembling sex or the bedroom itself; that way, there can be no confusions. And the words are usually easier to say than "fluffanuttah." *laugh* Fortunately, we've never had to use a safe word, but I still think it's a great practice -- I was glad to learn about them (from here, of course!) and I like trying to "spread the word about the word" when I get the chance. :)

I'm still loving "pixysticks..." :D

That is what we call "hallway sex" in my house. Used when we have time for no other type!

What do you do if they don't listen to the safe word? Reason I am asking is that we talked about safe words, and he doesn't stop when he's doing something that's uncomfortable, he just keeps going and laughs at me. He eventually stops but not when I say it.

Makes me worried about bondage. Really.

I have never had anything but 'bondage light'...just being tied up...and I never knew enough about it to have a safe word...I'd just beg until I'd get really angry and yell "stop!!". fortunatley my partners were responsive. But next time the issue comes up, i will address that before the ties come out, for me AND my lover.

i would be worried to...try sitting him down and talking about it...and if he doesent listen, then i would not even venture into bondage, or allow anything that might make you uncomfortable to begin with.

I add my sentiment about being worried. The safe word is meant so the person knows NO MATTER WHAT that you are uncomfortable and want things to stop THEN AND THERE. Sometimes people get carried away and the "No, no!" gets to be part of the role-play in their mind... with the safe word, there is NO QUESTION about what's real or fantasy.

I don't remember how long you and your husband have been married and I don't remember any other posts that sound like he's a dick, but I would try the sitting-down-and-talking thing one more time to find out why he does this & to make sure he fully understands the real meaning behind the safe word. You need to feel a gozillion percent comfortable with your spouse, in and out of the bedroom. There needs to be mutual respect in order for there to be strength and love. He's not respecting the rules & he's not respecting you. If there's something that makes you uncomfortable like that, it needs to be addressed and corrected NOW.

Good luck & be safe. :unsure:

No this is not rape, not anywhere near that. He nips nipples sometimes hard and sometimes stops a minute or so after I say stop :lol:

Or he tickles me :o he's the most wonderful man, and it's just the nipping. Maybe I should get a newspaper and train him like I trained the dog ;)

Mine bites too! It's really annoying, even though I know it's all in fun I don't think he gets that it hurts... I think I'll get a spritz bottle of water to use on him. "Keep doing that and I'm going to ruin your blow out!"

Lol Madeira, I can see it now.. I'm telling ya the boys need their teeth filed. Mine does it in fun too and when he gets going, the hornier he gets the sharper the nips. Then the sorer my nips. :P
