Ironically we actually like to mix it up because we find the concept of safe words sexy. Because when we're doing BDSM stuff she's always gagged, we try to pick out something that's understandable when you can't say whole words though.

We don't have safe words.

I currently use the color system... Red means stop... yellow means it's beginning to get too intense. I also like to use the phrase "Mercy, Mistress" to indicate that they need me to let up some. While red is a hard limit, immediate stop.

Even though we never need to use them, it makes me feel better to know we have that in place, just in case.

It's hard to mistake something like RED for anything but STOP so that's always a safe bet for a verbal safeword. When gags are involved, a double tap of the hand should suffice.

Sometimes I can't talk, so we snap or clap. Neither of those signals are regular sex activities, so they never go unnoticed.

Green, yellow, RED is also a good system.

I don't have a safe word currently, but I've been with my partner nearly 5 years and we've sort of outgrown the need for one. He knows when I'm pushing it. We have agreed though that if he doesn't recognize the signs then simply "I need to use a safeword" or "safeword" (if I can't get a sentence out) will do.

With newer partners though having a safe word is basic common safety sense. What has always worked best for me is "green" "yellow" "red". Green means everything is okay, yellow means slow down, red means stop right now.

I don't have a safe word, but I am planning on deciding on one with my partner soon. We have never used gags before, so I could always speak to him, and he could always speak to me.

(Neither of us is always either submissive or dominant. We like to trade roles, though I am submissive much of the time. I am really enjoying the dom role when I do play it.)

After some discussion, I think my husband and I are going to use the red, yellow, and green system to start with. (When we can speak, that is.)
