As a slave who does not have a safeword, I am going to directly address the safeword issue. The reason I do not have a safeword is that Master holds my safeword for me. On a regular basis he comes to where he can look directly into my face and says, 'Do you need to safe word? Are you okay?' My limit, when I was unowned, used to be that, while I was willing to accept a safeword from a Dom who believed in them and wanted me to have one, I would not play with a Dom with a safeword if I did not consider him safe enough to play with without one. I know who I am, and where my head goes when I play, and I simply am not going to manage to use a safe word, most of the time. I have to know that my Dom can be trusted to be watching carefully enough to stop if stopping is needed. 'Do you want to safeword?' is simply my Master's language of choice, at least some of the time. It is okay with me if your Daddy never says the word 'safeword'. But something must be going on besides him getting his kicks as he makes sure you are safe. Master knows I will not safe word. He is not looking for a 'yes, please' answer to help him decide to stop. He is simply getting me to answer a question so he can guage what is going on with me and how I am doing. I might say 'Hell, no' (my most common response to that question) and have him decide it is time to stop. Other times he may need to ask three or four times to get any answer from me at all becuase I have lost the power of speach, but he may still be able to determine that I am unable to talk becuase I am flying, not becuase I am being pushed to far and traumatized, and thus decide to go on. If you are going to play without safewords, your Master MUST be able to make these destinctions for you. No safeword does not mean 'Don't stop if she is still breathing, and, hell, she is still screaming, so she must be breathing'. It means that the Dom is taking the responsibility to determine when it must stop. Failure happens, everyone fails sometimes, everyone makes mistakes. But, bluntly, your Daddy did indeed fail you in this, at least this time. In order to play safely in the future, you both must be willing to admit that, and figure out how to fix it so it does not happen again, at least not in the same way. (Always try to make new and exciting mistakes, not the same ones over and over.)
