Code.

I believe that in the BDSM world, the colour code is a standard that should be taught from the very start.

The only code that everyone should know is at least RED. The point is to make sure we have a word or code to say: it’s over, game finished.

Last night I was at L’Espace, a local fetish event, and a girl called red twice while her Master continued to play. So I yelled “Hey, she said RED!” in case he did not hear it. For them, a red was like a yellow — slow down, but not stop.

We use different codes to indicate levels of pleasure, pain, or energy, but it is very important to understand the meaning behind each code.
