What is RACK? It stands for Risk Aware Consensual Kink
RACK comes into play when SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) just isn’t enough.
RACK is used in BDSM during play that poses any kind of risk that may cause permanent damage, accidental/unwanted pain or may leave long lasting marks such as branding.
RACK means that both the Dom/Domme and the sub/slave are aware of any type of risk involved in their scene and fully consent to the play involved.
For example: Ball Busting! Busting someones balls, or getting your balls busted might seem like fun but are you aware of the potential risks? The scrotum is one of the most sensitive parts of the male body and it contains approximately 4,000 nerve endings along with a major artery. There is potential for severe damage to be done if you you don’t know much about the male anatomy.
RACK is also used during needle play, edge play, breath play, and other “extreme” forms of BDSM but it can and should be practiced by anyone playing in any area that can cause emotional, physical or financial repercussions.
For example: In FinDom it’s common for financial subs/slaves to fantasize about being completely bankrupt by their Dom/Domme though there is very little, if any, discussion about what could happen to the sub/slave after the fact and how that bankruptcy could affect their home life, social life or even job.
Racial Humiliation is yet another where RACK should be practiced as there is the potential of invoking unexpected emotional responses in both the Dom/Domme and sub/slave. It is important to understand that there is potential for emotional breakdown and everyone involved should know how to deal with the aftermath, whether that involves basic aftercare or the need for psychological therapy.
It is the Dom/Dommes job to ensure the sub/slave is safe during any kind of play! They must know how to read a sub/slaves body language, know when to end the scene or pause a scene in order for everyone to recollect themselves and most importantly, they must know how to administer aftercare.
Practicing RACK isn’t all about physical risk and it is up to the Dom/Domme to ensure safety both physically and emotionally for everyone involved in a scene, including bringing the sub back to reality after they have been in subspace or ensuring the sub/slave is fit to drive home after the scene.
Often RACK is overlooked because many believe it is only for extreme BDSM scenes but it should be just as well know and practiced as SSC for any kind of play.
