Another day and time for another post for 30 Days of d/s:
So, the question today is, what’s your safeword? If you don’t want to have one, why not?
I have written plenty about safewords. I have thought in it a lot and strongly believe that safewords are necessary.
Just resently I changed my safeword and I think we are both happy with it. I haven’t shared my safeword with anyone outside my relationship and somehow I don’t want to. That might be a bit silly, but that’s how I feel.
What I can share though is something I’ve learned during our time together in France in the past two weeks.
Michael wants me to use the safeword. He needs to know that I feel comfortable using it and it is a way for both of us to be safe. So he’ll spank me for as long as it takes, or use some other form of impact play.
Sometimes I still have trouble using it. I wonder whether he was about to stop after the next spank anyway or maybe that I could take a bit more. He knows about these thoughts and we work hard on me overcoming them.
We had one play moment where things were said. I like it when he talks in the moment. Telling me the bad things he’ll do to me or some fantasy. In that particular moment it was a fantasy. He was telling and I enjoyed it. But then things took a bit of a turn.
I begged him to stop and there were tears and hugs and aftercare. After I had finally calmed down, we talked. Not so much about what it was that triggered me to stop the moment, but the how.
He looked at me and asked: “Why didn’t you use your safeword?”
All I could answer was that I didn’t even think of it. The more I think about it, the more I realise that it’s logical to use one’s safeword not only when one experiences physical pain, but also in other situations.
I was mentally overwhelmed at that moment. I didn’t feel good and wanted it to stop. But the idea of using my safeword didn’t occur to me. Never have I thought of that option.
Safewords make sure we’re safe. Physically and mentally. Safewords are necessary for all people involved.

This once again confirms that safe words are essential. And they should be simple and straightforward.
Safe words are necessary and important. You can’t do without them.
