Oddly enough, my safeword (although I've never used it) is seriously.  It came about one day when my master was complaining that he sometimes had problems telling when I was seriously wanting him to stop and when I was just struggling to get him to go harder, lol.  Dunno if I'll ever have to use it, but I can guarantee I'll never forget it.




He probibly won't either, good idea

I don't have any paticular safe word for that.  I usually gasp out pleas ease up a little Master.  That always works.

She's fun to play with and to watch. You're a lucky little boi. I haven't made a Wicked yet, but went to FO for a little while. Left kinda early so you probibly came after. I wish I had known, I would have waited around.



We'll plan on being at the next FO...though I don't know at what time.

I am a lucky boi. And it's cool because She and I will be doing LIFE's workshop wed next month. The topic is Negotiation:The Win/Win to SM scenes and D/s relationships. And this topic of communicating during scene will be a big thing we bring up.

I've found, mostly when addressing people on the net, there's a huge reluctance to communicate during a scene. There's a lot of expectation of events rather than coomunication through them. So...;) we'll talk about this too.

"Mercy, Sir." for slow down

"frog" for STOP..

StormsSlave -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/13/2008 5:10:02 PM)

We use "easy."  It means don't stop, just ease up a bit, and it's a word I can think of when I'm not communicating so good.




MadameXTC -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/13/2008 5:44:21 PM)

I use the stop light safe words just cause that is what is used at most play parties and dungeons we have been to. It is easy and simple. But when we are at home sometimes I just give him this look *if I am not blindfolded* and I threaten him with his life.. lol yeh I know.. "not very submissive" but if someone catches me the wrong way I get switchy.. he usually sees my switchyness as a means to calm down but I do get punished for it at the same time.. And for some reason he doesn't think "owe" is a safe word. I think we are just at the point where body language says so much more then words. It gets that way after you have played with someone for awhile




tandm -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 8:27:07 AM)

To get things to slow down, I snap my finger (my mouth is usually in a gag and cant talk).  When I snap, Master slows down .  If I snap over and over, he knows he needs to stop asap.  Works wonders and easy to remember.




Mercnbeth -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 9:19:22 AM)

safewords, just like speech restrictions or running around naked all day, aren't for everyone.  some folk's realities preclude the generalized theories behind the applications.
 
this slave would encourage you not to play, if you don't feel safe playing without a "safe"-word, or a "tone-down" word and at the same time "safe"-words or "could you tone it down, please" doesn't work for you.




pinkwind -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 9:26:42 AM)

We have two, depending on the reason for the need to slow down.

As we use the traffic light system, Amber means slow down you're going to fast for me, that kind of thing.

Emess (MS), together with whichever body part is called afterwards, means adjust that part of me, as i have physical disabilities, various forms of arthritis and MS, that sometimes have a negative influence at just the wrong time!

How about, "Can you tone it down just a bit, Sir (or Maam or whatever)?" Safewords are just band aids that perpetuate our lack of communication skills most of the time. Master Fire


For the people on CM who are anti-safeword, this seems to be a hard concept to understand. I myself don't have safewords, and don't much like them, but for different reasons.
At the last party we were at, a friend of ours was playing his incredibly beautiful little sub girl. (Did I mention she's fucking gorgeous? OMG. And she is so hot when she is in ropes, and subbed out, i look like a zombie when i a that subbed out, she looks like a bondage angel... sorry, lost my train of thought. great tits, too - sorry.)
She zoned out when he ran the rope across her body, before he even tied her, much less hit her.
At some point, with one foot tied against her ass, her elbows meeting behind her back, and her dangling off the floor by elaborate shabari that included a cunt rope, she began screaming in a high pitched wordless keen. He immediately stopped and tried to access her, asking, 'are you okay? what's wrong? what hurts?' she kept keening. He had his assistant lower her to the ground. She managed to get out the word, 'hurt'. He is not looking her over franticly, asking, 'what hurts?' He untied her and got her down and to the ground.
Later on, she was laughing about it, saying, 'I hate it when they ask you questions, as if you can form a sentence in English. Your mind is saying, 'Oh, FUCK, that HURTS! That body part right there - you are going to break it off! I bet you'd stop if i told you - now, what is it called? its one of my limbs, yes, that's the word - limb - wait, i said limb, and now he is headed outside looking for a tree, that must have been the wrong word!'
a lot of people on here have talked about their Doms getting to know their natural symbols, and, honestly, when you are approaching that zone, i think that is the only thing that works. never mind the 'remembering your safeword' issues, i can't remember my native language! You are just going to have to learn what my body symbols mean.
Oh, and, I am one of those that scream and yell and holler and shout all KINDS of things. including threats to your life and manhood. Doesn't mean i want you to stop - i LIKE going there. (to that, 'OMG, I would sell my soul to the devil if you would stop for five minutes!' place. This little sub LIKES her visits to Hell.) Actually, for that spot, i guess i do have a 'yellow' word - i often start saying 'push. push. please, please, push!' [sm=pushed.gif] meaning, i am about to go off the deep end, past sub space, to one of those other, very good places - can you kick it up a bit, and send me there? or, order me to go, which works too, for me at least, hearing him say, 'Fly, Bitch!', well, it just works.




MercTech -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 1:25:11 PM)

We had established the Red/Yellow/Green idea.

Then the sub starts screaming "Pink, Pink, Pink"  at the top of her lungs.

Dead stop, "What does that mean"

"It hurts too much but don't stop."

We still giggle when someone mentions "pink".

AMaster -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 1:31:32 PM)

I always ues a safe word, but the sub has to understand that once it is used the play is over for that session.  It makes her think very hard before using it. 




DesFIP -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 8:14:01 PM)

If green, yellow, red aren't clear enough what about using a scale of 1 - 10? With 1 being barely felt and 10 way too much, you want things at a 6 or 7. That way it's intense enough to keep your attention but still being good enough that you'll want to do it again.




MasterFireMaam -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 10:37:33 PM)

Yes, there are time when safewords are necessary. But, at these times "normal" communication has broken down for prefectly logical reasons to begin with, such as an altered state or being gagged. It's as these times that we MUST have some kind of communication, such as safewords or actions. My point was about when you can just as easily TALK to someone as to say, "Purple with yellow stipes."

my Dominant can put me in a place where i would have a hard time stringing more then two words tegether.


Yes...it's at these times when safewords isn't a band aid because you can't communicate effectively. It's at these times when safewords or actions ARE effective communication. But, when you can just as easily say it in words as say some off-the-wall color or something that perpetuates the problem.

Well, so much for having Kermit in the scene. Damn. Plushies are all the rage.

MasterFireMaam -> RE: Safe words for "tone it down" (5/14/2008 10:44:08 PM)

Again, it's obvious that there are times when safewords or actions ARE the communication because "normal" communication isn't possible. But when normal communication IS possible, I feel we should actually practice at being GOOD at it.

This reminded me of the time I broke out into the song: "It's not easy being green"  [8D]

He looked at me like I had officially lost it.
