Just catching up again.
What does it for me (as far as SI) is verbage that evokes a visual image of the act. When I can see it, in my mind, I get triggered.
Descriptions of ab*se do the same, along with romantic or detailed examples of suicidal ideation.
I agree that poetry, graphic descriptions, or verbal acting out are things that should be identified. If they sneak up on you, they can be hurtful.
Some way to identify this is a good idea.
Just my opinion.
