A safeword is a codeword or series of codewords that are sometimes used in BDSM for a submissive (or "bottom") to unambiguously communicate their physical or emotional state to a dominant (or "top"), typically when approaching, or crossing, a physical, emotional, or moral boundary. Some safewords are used to stop the scene outright, while others can communicate a willingness to continue, but at a reduced level of intensity. Safewords are agreed upon before playing a scene by all participants.

Ahhhh, men...If you ask them to take out the garbage they call you controlling, but if you tie them up and spank them, they call you whatever you want.
