Wow great advice Euryleia! I like that. From my Dom stand point using your "safe word" is not a failure, actually quite the opposite not using it would make me quite disappointed in my sub. I'm interested in knowing the limits, I find I can use those limits in role play but I know and my sub knows I will never cross them. I believe that with dominance comes much responsibility to care for and protect my submissive I love my sub and would never break her trust in me.
