What is a Safe Word?
A safe word is a pre-agreed upon word or phrase used during BDSM play to communicate consent, boundaries, and discomfort. It acts as a signal to stop the activity immediately. Safe words are essential for maintaining a consensual and respectful dynamic between partners, ensuring that everyone involved feels safe and comfortable throughout the session.
The way Master H uses safe words is as an absolute. You will choose your own safeword. At the start of the session you will be required to tell Master H your full name and chosen safe word.
If at any point you use that safe word during the shoot, the session will end, not pause, end.
What is the Traffic Light System?
Traffic light system is a method of communication used in BDSM play to indicate intensity levels and preferences. Master H uses the traffic light system with clients, to control the pace of a session.
The traffic lights only apply to the current activity. You can then indicate to Master H how you are coping with your session.
The traffic lights Master H uses are GREEN or 1, AMBER or 2 and RED or 3. All you need to do is say the colour or indicate the number during your activity to stay in control.
GREEN or 1: Indicates that the participant is comfortable and enjoying the activity. It signals to continue with the current intensity level or even escalate if desired.
AMBER or 2: Signals a cautionary note. It indicates that the participant is nearing their limits or experiencing discomfort and requests a check-in or a slight adjustment to the activity.
RED or 3: Indicates a full stop. It means the participant is experiencing significant discomfort or distress and requests the immediate cessation of the activity.
How Do I Choose a Safe Word?
When choosing a safe word, opt for a word or phrase that is easy to remember and unlikely to be accidentally said during play. Avoid words like “stop” or “no,” as they may be misinterpreted. Instead, choose something distinct and unrelated to the activity, such as “pineapple” or “cabbage” etc.
When Should I Use a Safe Word?
You should use a safe word whenever you feel uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or want to stop the activity for any reason. It’s crucial to communicate openly with your partner and trust that they will respect your boundaries and respond appropriately to your safe word.
You can always use your safe word to stop the whole session or the traffic light system to control the current activity, allowing your session as a whole to continue.
Master H will never be angry or upset if you choose to use your safe word.
Safe words and traffic light sessions are crucial tools for promoting communication, consent, and safety in BDSM play. By establishing clear boundaries, respecting each other’s limits, and prioritizing open communication, participants can create a mutually fulfilling and enjoyable experience while exploring their desires and fantasies. Remember, consent is key, and it’s always okay to speak up and advocate for your own comfort and well-being.
