What is SSC and what the heck is RACK?
SSC is Safe, Sane and Consensual. It's been the "BDSM motto" since the 60s. Basically, it just means that all play will be safe for all parties, done in a correct frame of mind (not in anger, etc.), and between consenting individuals.

RACK is Risk Aware Consensual Kink. It's a newer term that appeared in the late 90s/early 2000s. Basically, it means that people are aware of what they are doing, they know some of it is dangerous and they accept it. In other words, they are aware of the risks, but they still consent to the kinky activities.
