In the BDSM community, safe, sane and consensual (SSC) represents a set of common principles guiding relationships and activities.

Principles of SSC

  • safe: attempts should be made to identify and prevent risks to health
  • sane: activities should be undertaken in a sane and sensible frame of mind
  • consensual: all activities should involve the full consent of all parties involved, but note that legal consent may not create a defense to criminal liability for any injuries caused and that, for these purposes, non-physical injuries are included in the definition of grievous bodily harm in English law.

Controversy

SSC is often scrutinized as the core principles are considered highly subjective and open to interpretation; "How safe is safe enough" offers a legitimate question.
