Rule No. 2 | Use a safety word
Safety word is a way of communication in BDSM games, which is one of the crucial ways to improve the safety of BDSM games. The safety word is usually a key word agreed upon between sadist and masochist. When masochist really thinks he or she couldn't stand it any more, the masochist should say the safety word to the sadist , and sadist must stop and change the game to a safer way of playing.
A safety word can be any word you want. Many BDSM players use “Green”, “Yellow”, and “Red” as their safety words. “Green” means "continue," yellow means "Proceed but with caution," and red means "stop." As a sadist, you need to follow safety rules to maintain your partner's trust. As a masochist you should also be wary of those who do not respect your own safety.
