The Safety word is . . . . "Tweety Bird"

[Cowboy89]

Odd Story. I wonder how the judge kept a straight face during this trial?

A willing partner to "rough sex" could not legally consent to be choked into unconsciousness and sexually violated, an Ottawa judge has ruled in a bizarre case involving a couple whose eight-year relationship featured a raunchy sex life.

Judge Nicholas noted that the couple - who have a son - had regularly engaged in sadomasochistic behaviour over the years. They even had a codeword - "tweety bird" - which either could use at any time to indicate to the other that a particular sex act must stop immediately.

Ted: So before we pair off, let's go once and say our safe words.

Cheyenne: Parachute.

Victor: Nunchucks.

Loretta: Razzmatazz.

Leslie: Filibuster.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Popcorn.

Owen: Submarine.

Carol: Supercagifragilisticexpealidocious. [sic]

Ted: Mine is "more."

Kathy: And mine is "harder."

[Ted and Kathy laugh]

Ted: We're just kidding. We do not have safe words.

Kathy: No, there's nothing you can do to me that can make me feel uncomfortable.

More common that you'd think actually. I know couples who write contracts in case of problems like this. You still can't legally consent to grevious harm, but the contract gives a legal grey area you can take advantage of, should something go astray.

There are a surprisingly high amount of people who LIKE to be hurt, scared, scarred, abused, etc.
