safe word

An agreed upon word, or set of words, used in any kind of sexual activity, not limited to BDSM play, that is uttered by any participant to communicate that they want the activity to be modified.

Sexual safe words could also be called "sexual trust words", and they're an especially good idea in any kind of sex play that is exploratory and/or new to any participant.

Different safe words can be created and agreed upon to mean different things, such as, "stop everything, right now!", "slow down, back off!", "don't stop!", etc.

Safe words should be ones that a participant isn't likely to use as part of the play. They can be complete code, like "Tibet" (stop), "Chicago" (slow down), and "Glesga" (don't stop), or more obvious, like "red", "yellow", and "green".

No kind of sex should EVER be forced on anyone- that's called rape! (which is totally different than indulging in an agreed upon rape fetish)- and the basic idea of safe words is to prevent rape from happening accidentally.

Safe words make for hot sex!
Thank god we had a safe word, the idjit hadn't met a nail file in his whole fucking life!

"Yes, yes, more, more, Glesga, Glesga, please, give it to me, give it to me!" (Glesga is my favorite safe word, dontcha know, Sweetie?).

I could barely speak, but the safe word was easy to remember, so, when she went from four fingers to all five I managed to gasp, "yellow"- then a moment later I was screaming, "green! green! green!".

Spoken Word

Spoken Word is poetry intended for onstage performance, rather than exclusively designed for the page. While often associated with hip-hop culture, it also has strong ties to storytelling, modern poetry, post-modern performance, and monologue theatre, as well as jazz, blues, and folk music.

Due to its immediacy and direct rapport with its audience, this type of poetry often contains references to current events and issues relevant to a contemporary audience.

At its best, spoken word is a powerful, high-energy form of expression that attracts artists and audiences of all ages from a wide range of disciplines and socio-cultural backgrounds.
