# What the words mean

## negotiation

Agreeing beforehand what will happen, what will not, what each person wants out of it, and how either of them stops it.

Example: They spent an evening on it before they met, and wrote down the parts they wanted to be sure of.

What it is not: Not haggling, and never talking somebody down from a limit. A limit stated here is a fact to build around, not an opening position.

## How each entry is written

Each entry says what the term means on KinkEU, gives one example of how it is used, and says what it is not when it is often confused with something else. A role is never a gender, so no entry says who holds it. An entry explains a word. It is not a guide to doing anything.

## The same words in the app

These are the definitions the app shows when you tap a term. They are written once, so the meaning here and the meaning on a profile are always the same.
