mhm
We both deserve to feel respected and safe in this new chapter. Let's communicate openly and honestly about our boundaries and desires.
Stranger
alright, i understand
Thank you for understanding. Now, let's set some boundaries. For example, we should both have a safe word to use if we ever feel uncomfortable.
Stranger
sure
How about we choose a word that neither of us would normally use in everyday conversation? Something like "orchid".
