Safewords, Slowwords, Signals, Codes

[Ruby]

Ranai,

I thought you'd get more response to these great questions.

This is what I meant:
What safewords do you use?
What safewords have you used?
Which safewords and codes have you heard or read about?

Anyone who's been reading on the forums knows my safe words
are easy to say, easy to remember. Perhaps its because I'm so
analytical and my brain isn't wired to mix up yes and no.

So my safe words are: stop, no, that's enough, please don't, red light, and
yellow light.
Usually stop, red or yellow are all I can articulate.
Red is a hard stop.
Yellow is give me a minute, have to say something, whatever it is that I need a break.

Recently I read an article where it was suggested to use the word Mercy in public scening. That way the dom could look gracious while giving his pet a badly needed break. The phrase, Mercy, please spare this slave/sub/pet for another day, was a signal to end the scene.

I've used mercy a few times, but then have reverted back to the standards. :-)

What about when the mouth is stuffed?
There is an angry squeal or sound of pain that causes him to stop immediately and check in with me. I wish I could say I planned it, but T knows those sounds and what to do.

A few taps on the leg usually get his attention, too. That is if my hands are untied. LOL

Reading - I always admire when people use complicated words in their stories like cucumber, sasquash, or watermelon. I'm not sure I could possibly remember those words when I'm drifting in subspace or even totally rational.

Who's next? Inquiring minds want to know.
