	Learning to be a Dom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Safe means having negotiating limits and establishing a safe~word before a scene.
		Sane means knowing when, if something is not to your liking, to turn away quietly, not to tell everybody loudly you think this is gross.
		Consensual means remembering the people involved in scenes do it because they want to, and that they have their own relationship and rules between them.

	Safe, sane and consensual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Safe, sane and consensual (SSC) is one of several phrases used by a large section of the BDSM and sexual bondage communities to describe themselves and their philosophies who regard SSC to be a watchword for safety.
		Other people in the BDSM community do not consider SSC to be an accurate term for these relationships/activities.
		For those who dissent, issues generally arise from the subjective nature of each term in SSC and the problems this creates both within and outside the community when using the term as a yardstick to evaluate activities.

	Sane / Safe/ Consent
		SSC could carry with it a broad range of definitions depending on who is practicing its tenets and how.
		Stephen King's novel "Gerald's Game" comes immediately to mind, in which a bondage interlude at an isolated lake cabin turns disastrous when a handcuffed lady's husband keels over dead of a heart attack, leaving her in a hell of a mess, cuffed to the bed as she was.
		SSC is for its practitioners to decide on their own, without a particular set of hard-and-fast rules.

	Credo
		What "safe, sane and consensual" basically means is that you take precautions to prevent accidents, you don’t do anything that is obviously dangerous, and you know your play partner and negotiate in advance what activities you are willing to engage in.
		Safe, sane and consensual means no one is ever obligated to do anything they don’t want to, even if it was something they previously agreed to.
		Sane play requires that the Dominant first be in complete control of himself or herself.

	Risk-aware consensual kink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A risk-aware consensual kink (RACK) is any of several phrases used by portions of the BDSM community to describe themselves and their philosophies.
		"Risk-aware consensual kink" is a term that was coined in reaction to current dissatisfaction within the BDSM community regarding the political issues (internal and external) surrounding the "safe, sane and consensual" ethos that many people define as consensual BDSM.
		Specifically, RACK is intended to embrace edgeplay and play that is engaged in without safewords.

	Leather Leadership Conference, Inc. --The Origin of Safe Sane Consensual
		Moreover, the rubric "safe, sane, and consensual" itself was explicitly presented as embracing all degrees of commitment, from "a total lifestyle" to "an occasional adventure," as well as S/M practitioners ranging from novices to veterans.
		Chanting "safe sane consensual" like a mantra can’t save you from a bad scene or a bad relationship, and it can’t replace the years of study and practice that guide an experienced top or bottom, dominant or submissive through the maze of choices both must confront.
		Safe Sane and Consensual then, is an attempt to give the would-be dominants of the world a user’s guide to the management of the sexual force they are wielding, and the would-be submissives a ‘philosophical’ structure for trust and the limitations of permanent damage.

	AltSex:BDSM:The Hanging, Comment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		'Safe' implies that there's some objective measure, or that safe is an appropriate goal to aim for in deciding consent.
		To illustrate, a man I greatly respect recently encouraged people, at a safe sex lecture, to rate their level of safe sex on a 1 to 5 scale, and try to move one level safer.
		I don't try to be safe - I try to measure my level of risk, balance it against my gain for that risk, and make an honest assessment of whether the cost is worth the gain.

	Safe, Sane, and Consensual -- SSC -- Risk-Aware Consensual Kink -- RACK -- VancouverLeather.Com
		SSC (Safe, Sane and Consensual) is a frequently heard phrase in BDSM communities, and its roots are deeply entwined with a concern for ethics and, more to the point, fair play.
		Sane means folks don't play when they're angry, intoxicated, or otherwise not fully able to determine boundaries, and evaluate risk.
		Consensual means that players in a scene have provided each other with knowledgeable and informed consent, and that every participant has the right to stop the scene at any time through use of a safeword or other pre-designated means.

	What is SM - Chapter 2
		SM-Leather-Fetish educational and social organizations consider the cornerstone of SM activity to be the guidelines: "safe, sane, and consensual." While it is possible to do any activity in a reckless and dangerous manner, SM is no more dangerous than skiing or other thrilling activities.
		Safe is being knowledgeable about the techniques and safety concerns involved in what you are doing, and acting in accordance with that knowledge.
		Consensual is respecting the limits imposed by each participant at all times.

		"Safe" means that we take care of each other as best we can, that no matter how we want our scenes, however gentle or rough, we do them in ways that do not injure our partners.
		"Safe" means that we take the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases seriously and use our best efforts to minimize those dangers.
		You should always feel free to say 'no.' Consensual means that you are sceneing because you want to, with someone who wants to, that everyone involved is willing to go ahead with the scene.

		Although their practices sound dangerous to most people, sadomasochists in the area and across the country say they operate by a code of "safe, sane and consensual." So Cricket was horrified when she heard about the John Edward Robinson Sr.
		She and more than a dozen persons interviewed for this article said that Robinson was not known to them and that he was not a member of the local sadomasochism community.
		She gave her friend the address and phone numbers where she was staying and insisted on being called or calling at certain intervals.

	Safe, Sane and Consensual
		A number of people have objected to the slogan "Safe, Sane, and Consensual" (SSC) on the basis that it does not encompass their personal styles of play; my own definition of SSC does not preclude anything that I've heard so far.
		If people want to play outside the boundaries of my definitions of "Safe, Sane, and Consensual", that's fine by me. But I would hope that such play would happen only in private (not at play parties or in public), and away from newcomers and the media (and me).
		In closing, I would argue that "Safe, Sane, and Consensual" is the most apt slogan I've encountered to date, and that when using my definitions SSC is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for having a good time.

	DOMINANT IDEAS: SM PERSPECTIVES
		I have mixed feelings about the credo of "Safe, Sane, and Consensual." It is a phrase that has little objective meaning, and is open to wide interpretation by those who live by it.
		To me (and only to me) safe, sane, and consensual means that the parties will act in a responsible manner which does not result in permanent debilitatin g injury (either mentally or physically).
		The consensual part of the definition means that neither party is coerced and both parties desire the particular power dynamic of their relationship.

	Chris M: Working Responsibly: A Discussion Of Safe Sane And Consensual
		In short, SSC was conceived as a guard dog to keep our political enemies at bay, and to provide a common vision for the rapidly growing SM community, and for this, SSC worked fine.
		To acknowledge that SSC is intrinsically subjective and will result in different practices, thresholds, limits, and avenues for growth and exploration for different people depending on their individual skills, tolerances, risk aversion, and desires.
		But as SSC (and its countless lemmas and special sub-rules) continues to reign as the primary cautionary principal in the cannon of SM wisdom, it doesn't seem right to let it dangle in the wind without substance.

	Safe Sane and Consensual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is a section written for those people new to D/s and bdsm who are unfamiliar with SSC, though in some regards given the holistic perspective of Shadow D/s we are more exacting and sometimes a little less liberal in what we are willing to term safe, sane and consensual.
		However a sane person will take steps to make damn sure they don't repeat the same mistake, will feel terrible about any negative consequences to another and also be able to put themselves in the other person's shoes such that they are anxious to help make amends.
		For what is safe for one is unsafe for another, what is sane for one is another's madness and what constitutes informed consent in one person merely reveals the depth of another's ignorance of the harm they will submit to being done to them.

	SSC
		As a kid, what i took "Have a safe and sane 4th" to mean was something like, "Have a good time, but don't be stupid and burn down the house or blow your hand off." A couple of decades later, that seemed to fit S/M just fine.
		Note that this first use of "safe, sane, and consensual" occurred in a context that also included concepts like community, responsibility, tradition, education, and gay liberation.
		As an organization, GMSMA never tried to officially define "safe," "sane," or "consensual." From the beginning, we knew that beyond the obvious applications of these terms, there are vast gray areas.

	SCENEprofiles Interview with david stein, originator of the phrase Safe, Sane & Consensual
		Historically, david is most associated with the coining of the phrase “safe, sane, and consensual S/M” in 1983 for Gay Male S/M Activists (GMSMA), an organization that he co-founded and helped lead for 11 years (he remains a member but is no longer active in a leadership role).
		On one hand, many of the huge new influx of BDSM participants take the idea of “Safe, Sane, and Consensual” for granted, not realizing your role in its creation, or even that these ideas needed to be articulated.
		The only progress we’ve made has been with the term ‘consensual,’ where we have a far deeper and more nuanced understanding today than we had in 1983 — but more of that is owing to the women’s movement and the discourse about domestic abuse than to any discussions specifically within an s/m or D/s context.

		This credo has permeated SM literature and lore far beyond the subculture of the organized community." Or "We constantly discuss issues of consent, which are the basis of safe, sane and consensual sexual education."
		One of the most easily recognized ways to maintain limits is through a "safeword" - in which the bottom/submissive can withdraw consent at any time with a single word or gesture.
		We teach people how to do SM safely and consensually, and that takes hands-on instruction and community discussion.
