Ok, Kurt, my wife is currently very jazzed about our next weekend getaway, that'll get you a thoughtful reply. What I keep thinking of is the end of "Midnight Express." (Spoiler warning to anybody who hasn't seen it.) We have a broken man, nearly catatonic from the horrors of a Turkish prison and the drugs on the psych ward. His girlfriend visits him in that state and gives him the means (money) to make an escape and the motivation (boobies!!!) to do so. He understands that if he fails, he will die. The big, fat chief guard gets in the way of that and winds up with a coathook in the back of his head. If you are going to turn your back so she can get away, I'd make damn sure there is nothing in the room she could use as a weapon. If you are going to make an escape her safeword, I see two things you have to do. First; A safeword the sub is afraid to use is worse than useless. You don't get to make ANY threats about what will happen if she tries to get away. ZERO! God only knows what will be going on that girls head. What you're talking about, creating an emotional and psychological breakdown, really isn't that hard with the right conditions. You said it, she won't be rational. If she is coerced against escape in any way, your 'safeword' just becomes a way for you to rationalize something that has become non-consensual. Second; Escape cannot be an act of blind desperation. I assume she will know how remote the location is. Does she have to reach the point of leaping blindly and naked from the frying pan into an unknown fire before you'll call it off? She needs to know that safety is nearby for it to be a real choice. Set it up in her mind that the neighbors would help her. You seem like a smart guy, dream something up. Fun question. Keep it up.
