A safe word is used to interrupt a scene during sex, mostly in BDSM relationships. Usually words entirely unrelated to the situation, such as "red, banana, shelf, chair" etc, are used as safe words. A safe word is important for both submissive and dominant partners to create a safe and comfortable space for everyone involved.
Dom: *smacks partner*
Sub: "BANANA! (safeword) That's too hard."

Dom: *smacks partner*
Sub: *yelps*
Dom: "RED! (safeword) I feel bad/guilty for hitting you like that."
