So are you a Safe, Sane, and Consensual person or a Risk Aware Consensual Kink kind of person?

S.S.C. has been around a long time and most of the community knows what it means and how to use it as a blanket when those vanilla folks call us perverts, but I don't know if it fits to be honest and I never have.


Safe and Sane are subjective terms so what they mean to me they don't have to mean to anybody else. I may consider wrapping my girl up in saran wrap from neck to feet, dumping her on the bed and then going out for a walk safe. I may not consider that safe. Sane is the same kind of thing. Am I sane after one beer? Two? Four? You just never know.

Now R.A.C.K. hasn't been around as long as S.S.C. but I think it describes what we're about much better than it's older brother. We all take risks doing what we do and knowing that is a good thing. What we do isn't really safe, it's risky, but as long as you know the risks you can prepare for them. That's where the aware part comes in. Be aware of the risks. Consensual is in both and that makes sense because without consent it's rape and that's all. Finally we have kink which I like because there's no question that what we do is kinky.

So what does everybody else think or do you even care?
