The Red, Yellow, Green System is a communication and safety protocol commonly used in BDSM and kink communities to establish boundaries and consent during scenes or interactions. This system allows participants to express their comfort levels and emotional states clearly and effectively.
The Green signal indicates that the participant is comfortable and enjoying the experience. When someone uses this term, it means they are fully consenting to continue and are in a positive space.
The Yellow signal serves as a cautionary alert, suggesting that the participant is approaching their limit or feels uncertain about the current situation. This term does not necessarily mean to stop entirely; instead, it indicates the need for a pause or adjustment to the activity to ensure continued comfort and safety.
The Red signal is a definitive stop command. When this term is used, all activities must cease immediately. It indicates that the participant feels overwhelmed, unsafe, or otherwise unable to continue, and respect for this signal is paramount to ensure the well-being of all involved.
Overall, the Red, Yellow, Green System fosters an environment of trust and open communication, enabling participants to engage in their activities safely and consensually while emphasizing the importance of listening to and respecting each other’s limits.
