Well, that's between you and your subs, and if you're all experienced players and you know their limits, then fine.
But
it's not always so clear cut; I'm a sub, and once I go into subspace I
no longer have readable body language; I relax into the pain and go
limp. I have to rely on my Dom/me honouring a safeword, and I have to
count on the fact that they'll keep that in mind...Also that I'll have
the presence of mind to safeword out - hasn't happened yet, never needed
to, but I know I can if I must.
I personally think that even if
you think you know your subs inside and out, and know what they can and
cannot take - you are horribly irresponsible if you don't have a
safeword to fall back on. Keep in mind that I was addressing the newbs
with the above post; Certainly, they should have safewords, and if they
get somebody who insists on not using them then, as newbies, they need
to know that that shit is not ok, especially if it's the first time or
two they've played. Don't want them getting an abusive bastard.
I
don't go by SSC either, by the way - I prefer RACK, since I enjoy
breathplay and SSC says OHHELLNO. But for newbies, SSC is safer - once
they have a feel for it, and they're better informed, then they'll
probably want to move to RACK anyway. |
