'Journey'. I chose it because it's the name of her blog. Thought it would make it easy to remember. It's not...

I use the traffic light system: Green, Yellow, Red. Green means great, yellow means whoaaa hold on we need to pause or renegotiate, and red means all play stops entirely and the scene is over. You really don't want to hear yellow and red is a pretty serious foul up. If gagged, the same idea is used with either holding up fingers (1 means fine, 3 means stop) or holding hands and squeezing. Its easy to integrate this system into play because you can just quietly ask 'color?' during play and continue. I think its also VERY important to have that medium level to check in at, because sometimes you can tell a scene is going downhill but if you don't hear a safeword, you assume you should keep going. Miscommunication 101.

Of course, this all depends on your level of play and your relationship with your play partner. I suppose some situations don't need such intense thought behind safewords--I love petnames over real names during vanilla sex, so if things get too rough, a quick bark of the Christian name ("DAVID! STOP!") usually does it.

Now, I use "red." Once upon a time, I chose something completely and totally off the wall when I was still *very* new to BDSM, and I needed to use it, but I forgot it. That was not the best experience. But you live and learn right?

Red. I play with a lot of people --traffic light system is best. Safeword is also the default for anyone who can't remember. Scream red or safeword and the dungeon monitor should come running.

We don't really have one even though we get super, super depraved. If I felt that I needed to use an actual safeword we're both pretty accustomed to the red/yellow/green thing or the use of the word "safeword" so I guess I'd probably use that.

The thing I use the most often if things get way too intense is "No, seriously. Stop."

If i'm gagged or otherwise unable to talk it's three grunts/taps on bed/taps on shoulder, etc.

She simply says stop, or she does a double tap somewhere on me.

If I'm playing with someone who isn't Master, I use 'red', or tap out, or just flat out tell my partner that I need the scene to stop, depending on who I am with.

I need to come up with one for my current partner, I've never liked any of the ones past partners have chosen. I know a few people who use banana, or bananaphone. I tend toward to the traffic light system, it works for me, and gives the person a chance to warn before having to call a total stop.

I use red, but I want a new word. I don't like "yellow" so I'm in the market for a new word. Red is mostly used to stop all play. I usually don't want that. When I use my safeword it's because I have reached my limit for the moment, but it will pass, and then play can continue. Yellow is most appropriate, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue.

We use the red, yellow, green system too. It's easy to use with experienced partners and new partners.

We use poodle in honor of 'Choke'. If I'm gagged it's the rule of 3's. 3 large nods, 3 taps, 3 grunts... He also pauses every now and then to remind me that I know the safety word and can stop the action at any time. That lets me kind of take mental stock of the situation (I sometimes can get lost in subspace.)

You might think that something like this would interrupt play, but he uses a low sexy voice and if he's about to use something on me (paddle, vibrator, dildo, etc.) he'll drag it slowly across my skin to build anticipation.

what if your girl's favorite food was pineapple and you were feeding it to her while she was blindfolded or something?

Banana. I don't remember anymore where it came from, but it's stuck over the years.

That's the same one that we use! Now buying pineapples at the store causes all kinds of sexual innuendos to fly!

I use the stoplight system as well and I always use the 'pause to reassess' as a further humilitation as well as a true pause. My subs know it's coming and I rarely get a yellow or red...but it as happened, usually because they are either unable to reach subspace or the scene isn't working for them.
I always watch and listen though regardless of the agreed word, or gesture because it is so easy to slip into subspace and then things go horribly wrong. I am really big on building trust and one bad scene early on can really damage the trust.

We use banana in my circle. Its super easy for us to remember. I never heard of the stoplight system before last week. Weird!
