The purpose of a safe word is not to control the situation, but to let the Dom/me know that the situation has gotten to intense, or to painful, or that something has gone wrong (trouble breathing, or hands going numb, etc.). They are there for the protection of both parties, to ensure that things do not get out of hand, and that nobody is really harmed. To me a safe wordis a sign to stop, and to see what the problem is. It might require the end of the scene, or it might just mean I need to adjust the ropes a little and then can carry on with whatever I was doing. But what it always means is "Stop, something is wrong!!"
