What is a safe word in bondage?

Unsure how to properly call it quits? Want to make sure that your experience happens safely and consensually between you and your partner. 

In the sexy and sultry world of BDSM, there may be a time when your sexual encounter may go overboard to the point where you may feel uncomfortable or just need a break to catch your breath.  

Whether you’re playing as the dominant or the submissive, you need to establish ground rules where the fun starts and stops. For this – you'll need a safe word.

If you’re looking to explore some bondage experiences in more detail, then you’re in luck! We’ve done the research for exactly what you need to know about establishing a safe word.

Why do you need a safe word?

Protection. Safety. Security.

These three key elements are essential to ensure your sexual experience is not just a one-off but becomes the ‘norm’ when you and your partner are exploring the world of BDSM. 

We all know that consent is sexy. On top of this, being protected and having fun is on the same list. In the world of BDSM, no one wants to be rattled constantly or rough-housed endlessly.

There may be times when you say “Hey that’s enough” or “just need a little break”.

In the heat of the moment, this may not be quickly done by just saying “Stop” especially if you’re tied up, bound, and gagged and are unable to move.

These safe words are in place to ensure that each partner, whether you are dominant or submissive, is safe and protected.

Alongside this, we all have lives outside of the BDSM world and some individuals might not want their naughty “other world” to be exposed to their everyday work or general lifestyle.

These safe words ensure that limits are respected, met and of course – each partner can holistically enjoy their fun whilst using bondage gear.

Are there negatives to a safe word?

Ultimately, these safe words enhance the sexual experience as they assist with helping the partners in having fun and pushing certain limits and boundaries, while also knowing that they can stop at any given moment.

In the world of BDSM, safe words protect both partners whilst also acting as a security measure to make sure that the sexual experience happens on the right terms. 

With all things being considered, safe words don’t have to be serious – they can be as fun as saying ‘Pineapple’ or as silly as saying ‘SpongeBob.’ 

Now that we’ve covered what a safe word is – what's your safe word?
