Ive never used my safeword. Thats a reflection of the professionalism of the dommes that i have sessioned with over the years. They have read me and adjusted before it came to that point.

Ive only been close a few times. And in those situations it wasnt a result of extreme pain. It was more moderate pain but it was a day i wasnt into it. I remember where the domme said to me “you look like you arent into it what if we did some foot worship instead”.

If i ever used my safeword i would just expect a pause a check in and then determine if we wanted to continue.
