PRICK
Personal responsibility, informed consensual kink, a term listed alongside RACK that stresses each participant's own responsibility and informed view of the risks.
PRICK stands for personal responsibility, informed consensual kink. Wikipedia’s article on RACK lists it among the variations, as a term that puts the weight on each person’s own responsibility and on an informed analysis of risk; it does not say who coined the term. Sex educator Stella Harris, in a Reed College Q&A, says it has not caught on the way SSC and RACK have and is met mostly online. She is uneasy with the shift toward personal responsibility: it should not reduce anyone’s responsibility for a partner’s safety, but in some people’s use, she fears, it does.
