Tee hee on the "unsafe," Mr. Jacobs. It reminds me of what we do at home. First of all, Donald claims (note the emphasis on the "claims") that he gave me a safe word once during our first year together and that I promptly forgot it. Naturally, I have no memory of such an incident ever occuring. Now, every time the pain gets to be a bit much and I am begging pitiously for mercy, Donald, safety-conscious dominant that is is, just tells me to use the safeword he gave me. Secondly, in addition to having a safeword, I have something that I doubt any other asb'er has (sticking out chest proudly): danger words! One set of them is "you stupid cukoo dum-dum bozo!" Another is "No fucking way!" Still another is "Shove it up your ass." Another: "Yawn! Bring me a pillow, I'm falling asleep!" And another: "(giggle) You call that dominance?" Danger words, as you might be able to deduce from the above, work the opposite of safewords. You use them when your top is thudding away on you, ho hum, very boring, starting to drift off, and you want to liven things up a bit. Being the equal-opportunist that I am, I think every sub who has a safeword (even if she can't remember the damn thing!) also deserves a danger word. Don't you agree?
