Let’s talk about..
ACRONYM SPAGHETTI!

Specifically, what’s all this about?

SSC - Safe, Sane and Consensual

RACK - Risk-Aware Consensual Kink

PRiCK - Personal Responsibility in Consensual Kink

As always, these are just my opinions, there are no rules in BDSM, and you’re looking fiiine today😉

These acronyms come up often in kink (not just BDSM) and are different ways of describing the way we approach certain activities. Most stuff in BDSM has the potential to be...

...dangerous if handled incorrectly, but with a modicum of common sense or knowledge you should be fine.
As always, consent is important; informed consent even more so. The difference is that asking someone if you can choke them and them saying “yes” is consent;

... telling them you’ve never done it before is *informed* consent. Someone might say “yes” to being choked, but only by an experienced choker - if they don’t know if you’re experienced, that consent is not informed.
So what’s the difference between SSC, RACK and PRICK?

SSC means activities that are safe, sane and consensual - so the risk of harm is minimal and you’re not doing anything silly (and all parties consent). However, one person’s definition of “safe” and/or “sane” may be different to another’s, perhaps due to experience.

So then we have RACK - which acknowledges that some activities can be risky, as opposed to “safe”. Again, what one person considers a risky activity (such as sounding) might not concern someone with years of experience.

PRICK is a broader term that basically means “You accept full responsibility for making sure you understand what you’re doing.” This means making your own judgements, asking the right questions (and knowing what to ask), doing your own research and understanding the risks.

There’s no right or wrong term to use - many people don’t use them in normal conversation or at all - but it does help to know what they mean. If you think SSC fits you, for example, maybe think carefully about playing with someone who follows PRICK, and vice-versa.

Whatever you feel suits you, you should still do your own research, ask questions, and trust your gut. Ultimately your own safety is your own responsibility, especially around people you don’t yet know well.
