Although BDSM revolves around the context of punishment and discipline, using safeword seems to be an important element of the play, which mostly benefits the submissive role.A safeword is simply a word discussed by both parties in a BDSM play. This is done in order to stop the submissive if he or she reaches the limitation of slavery. This allows the “slave” to quit following whatever the “master” commands. You might be surprised to know that if you continue to dominate after using the safeword, it can be considered as a form of abuse; in the same way of forcing someone to have sex with you even if that someone doesn’t want to.
