Common Practices & Experiences
Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common practices involving the stoplight system include, but certainly aren't limited to:
- Use as a sort of default, especially with new play partners.
- Wide recognition amongst members of the BDSM community.
- Using a modified version, as suits one’s needs.
Juniper uses the stop light system with new or casual partners rather than coming up with unique ones.
