Great question @xxxnameless-soulxxx
Yes, in the photo I posted pet is holding a yellow stress ball. Considering he was gagged and had earphones in, it was acting as his safe word. He was instructed to drop the ball signalling something was wrong.
Safe Play: these folks are doing it right.
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have an easy to use/understand/recognize, non-verbal safeword system in place when playing in a way that your s-type is gagged, bound, and/or otherwise unable to speak/verbally convey a safeword or any desire to pause, check in and/or stop. <3
This made me smile. We always play safe, but please yes, always play safe.
I’ve been wanting to try this myself, but haven’t due to not being able to find a way of communicating distress to the other person.
So simple, an useful
A bell is another option, but pet moves far too much. Or the sub/bottom can use a snap. Or can hit something 3 times. There are several safe signals to use instead of words - choose one that works best for the situation and the sub.
In the past I’ve used hand waves, foot stomps, furniture thumps, and even chain rattles! (take a chain or hell, keys, and hold onto them. bells will make noise if you really move at all, but a chain or keys you can get more control over the sound.)
I’d also just like to encourage people to always incorporate a safe signal of some kind into their play as a backup for the safeword (particularly with a new partner!), because things happen and sometimes safewords don’t get heard or the sub goes non-verbal or is too out of breath/too sobbity to understand - there’s all kinds of unforseen things that can happen, and personally I’m a member of the belt AND suspenders school of safety.
Play safe and have fun!
