i think jeannes post summs it up pretty nicely
which does pose the question why am i posting if its already been said? huh ill continue anyway
i think even in an online relationship a safe word is a good thing to have because you will find when you reach your limit and if you just close the window then where do you go from there? how do you find out why its a limit? or if you want to overcome that limit? if you are playing online then if you safeword your dom will know, and depending on the subsequent convoersation can decided wether to push that button again. but if you just close the window, and its a psychological button hes pushed and it really doesnt have a good affect, what happens if he pushes the same button again? Dom's online or r/l have a huge level of responsibility and no-one wants to be the person that hurt someone psychologically

wow what a lot of rambling and if that didnt make sense the general jist was yes i think safewords are a good thing even if it is an o/l relationship
