a word said by someone to a partner during sex when the sex becomes too rough , to show that they want to stop , especially in BDSM (= sex that involves , for example , tying a partner up, or giving and receiving pain for pleasure ) :
Safe words are important because the words "no" or " stop " might be interpreted as a part of the scene .
" Red " is the number one safe word.
