Boundaries
Say your lines out loud, both ways. Then find out what's actually negotiable.
🛑 Ground rule: a "no" is permanent and needs no explanation. A "maybe" is a question, not a soft yes. Whoever said no does not owe a reason, and nothing here is binding after the game ends.
Boundaries Workbook for Couples: Yes, No and Maybe
This boundaries workbook helps couples map what they want, what they are curious about and what is off-limits. It covers physical limits, emotional limits, consent and safe words in a calm, practical way.
Boundaries are not rejection. They are instructions for loving someone well. Writing them down makes it easier to remember them in the moment and to revisit them as trust grows.
How to play
- Each partner fills in the yes, no and maybe lists separately.
- Share only what you are comfortable sharing.
- Agree on a safe word and what happens when someone uses it.
- Set a date to review the lists; boundaries can change.
Frequently asked questions
Is a boundary the same as a rule?
A boundary is about your own limits; a rule tries to control someone else.
What if our lists do not match?
Overlap is not required. Respect is.
Do we need a safe word?
It helps, especially with new or intense play.
Can we change our minds?
Yes, at any time, including mid-scene.
