negotiation
What does negotiation mean?
In kink, the explicit conversation before a scene where everyone spells out what they want, what's off the table, hard and soft limits, safewords, and aftercare. It's not foreplay paperwork, it's the backbone of consent. No negotiation, no scene. The thing that separates BDSM from abuse.
"We always do a proper negotiation first so nobody hits a hard limit mid-scene."
