Acceptable or No?

Here is how to think about this topic. A safeword establishes a lack of consent. Anything that happens after a safeword has been uttered is no longer the activity of consenting adults. Nonconsensual touching is a battery, redressable through a civil action in damages. Continuation of actual punishment will be a criminal offense, quite possibly a felony.

LOL You do realize that in most places there's no such thing as consensual battery in the eyes of the law? Therefore, everything we do is illegal. The dominant can be arrested for assault and battery, and the submissive can be arrested for aiding and abetting.

There is no form of agreement as to the victim's status as a "slave", and no possible form of contract which would constitute an effective defense. Where I live, any such defense is ruled out by the 13th amendment.

I think we all realize that there's no such thing as slavery since no one can actually buy or sell humans, at least not legally.
