Using your safeword is never something to be afraid of. While it may sometimes mean stopping the scene, it also prevents you from going to places you’re not ready to explore. Yet, guilt or self-disappointment can make using a safeword feel like a failure for many. Fortunately, there are ways to address the guilt, disappointment, or fear around using or not using your safeword when it truly matters.

Thoughts to Ponder

1. What is your opinion about safewords? What value do they have in a relationship?
2. If you have withheld a safeword in the past, why did you do it? What were you trying to gain by doing so?
3. What other issues arise from using your safeword?

Most people say ‘sorry’ or ‘I’m sorry’ far too often. You’re probably aware of whether this is an issue for you. If you struggle with frequent apologizing, you may need to take a different approach to find ways to express what you really mean.
