[Bit 1]

I hooked up with a girl the other day and when I asked for consent she said before we

go any further I need to tell you my safe phrase so that you know when I feel uncomfortable

and I want you to stop.

I was like of course, not that kind of guy.

I'm not going to pressure you.

"Did you say a safe phrase?"

"Don't you mean a safe word?"

She said, "No, no, no, no.

"A safe word isn't specific enough."

I could yell out any word in the heat of the moment,

not actually want you to stop.

I was like, "Totally, I'm on the same page."

It just feels more complicated that way.

Like, I'm not trying to hack your email here.

Is there gonna be numbers, symbols,

and upper and lowercase letter involved?

What if we made it a random word that you'd never yell out

in the heat of the moment, like "Ghandi?"

You're not yelling out "Ghandi" in the heat of the moment.

And even if you do, I feel like I could tell

if it's a bad Gandhi or, like, a "Give me more" kind of Gandhi.

You know what I mean?

It's all in the tone.

No, she said her safe phrase is, "Hey, stop doing that."
