Principals of play

[MasterPain]

Safe is being knowledgeable about the techniques and safety concerns involved in what you are doing.

Sane is knowing the difference between fantasy and reality.

Consensual is respecting the limits imposed by each participant. One of the recognized ways to maintain limits is through a "safe word" which ensures the bottom/submissive can end the activity with a word or gesture.

safe words are only used in offline relationships, i favor the traffic light ones, as these cannot be confused with any protests from the sub that may only be part of their fantasy.
