Some great ideas already posted! There are loads of methods that can be set up using non-verbal safe"words" to help in situations where you can't verbalise for any reason. Dropping something (that makes a noise when dropped), holding something you can squeeze, waving in a particular way or stamping a foot, all can work really effectively. I would say, be careful playing with those who "don't rely on safewords" as not all of them are good enough at reading body language to TRULY be able to tell. Unless you're REALLY confident that they're going to be able to tell no matter what is going on inside your head, you could be setting yourself up for a real issue.

A safe word is only as good as the Dom you're playing with, they mean nothing if you play with someone unsafe, someone you don't know well enough to be playing with, once you're tied up a safe word will never save you...just thought it worth mentioning that :-/ | ||||||

Yes that would be difficult but there must be other non verbal ways to stop a scene in that situation. http://empressm7.uboot.com/ pro tv dom and switch. Domestic and outdoor specialist. "Beyond the government,above the police ." | ||||||

It was just an idea, I was observant of nature and noticed this behaviour and considered it might have another use.But since it can not be used then what else can be non verbal as an effecive end of play? http://empressm7.uboot.com/ pro tv dom and switch.

Yes I should.It seems that droping keys,toys that make noise etc seem to be the popular ones as are bells.So the choice seems wide.So it is matter of getting the dom to agree to what device you use as the replacement for the safe word. http://empressm7.uboot.com/ pro tv dom and switch.

Wisdom... And, of course, if someone knows you that well, a safeword might not be needed at all...

discusing this with a dom 'before' would be a very good idea as well as some physical indications, (where possible) Some clubs play loud music and physical indications are the only option. A good dom should after chatting with you be happy to take this into account and clarify 'mumblings'... |
