Objective

A safeword is a code word, or series of code words, that are used for communicating one's physical or emotional state, typically when approaching, or crossing, a physical, emotional, or moral boundary. The house safe words for play are:

• Red = Hard stop. Stop immediately, I do not feel safe.

  • Nonverbal = three squeezes (i.e. squeezing an arm to leave a space)

• Yellow = Hold up, let's talk about this. I need a pause for dialogue before we proceed.

  • Nonverbal = two squeezes (i.e. squeezing an arm to leave a conversation)

• Green = I'm feeling present and need not flatten that infinite experience with words.

  • Nonverbal = one squeeze (i.e. squeezing an arm to share love and encouragement)
