I would have to agree with you on what you wrote without having read the article. I have no desire to read the article since BDSM isn't a part of my lifestyle. If they established a safe word, and the act continued after the safe word was used, the any consent would be rescinded. A safe word is another way of saying stop. In any other circumstance, if someone tells you to stop and you continue, that would constitute sexual assault. I imagine it would fall under the same guidelines.
