Choosing a safe word is tricky business.
You want to choose something that makes it very clear that it’s time to stop (so nothing confusing or likely to come up in regular sex chat, like ‘nipple’ or ‘harder’), but isn’t so strange that it completely spoils the sexy moment. You want your partner to stop what they’re doing, not collapse into a pile of giggles.
But you still want to have a bit of fun.
So we’re not too surprised that a new survey from LoveHoney has found that fans of BDSM have chosen ‘Donald Trump‘ as their favourite safe word.
Think about it. Donald is off-putting enough to stop any sexual pleasure in its tracks, and his name sparks conversations about politics and terrible Presidencies – a great way to dampen the mood and change the subject.
It’s an instant sex-killer. We’d challenge anyone to continue having enjoyable sex while thinking about Donald Trump, in terms of both his approach to running the U.S. and his general being.
LoveHoney surveyed 1,000 BDSM types to find out more about people’s preferred safe words during sex, and found that ‘Donald Trump’ came out on top.
Other celebrities mentioned to put a stop to sex were Justin Bieber, Superman, and Tinkerbell, while non-celeb safe words were found to be themed around colours and fruits. Fair enough.

Harry Potter safe words popped up, too: Dobby and Hufflepuff coming up tops.
‘Safe words have been used by bondage fans for years to ensure their sex games are completely safe and consensual and stop exactly at the right moment,’ explain LoveHoney.
