Why should <em>I <\/em>try it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever given your partner a cheeky smack on the bottom when things got hot and heavy? There you go, you&#8217;ve got a head start! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At it&#8217;s mildest level, impact play is just that &#8211; little spanks that spice up foreplay and play with power dynamics. Make it more intense and you&#8217;ve got the start of a <em>cracking <\/em>BDSM scene. If you&#8217;re the Dominant the control and discipline will appeal to you, but for submissives it&#8217;s about being spanked. Pain and pleasure are closely connected in the brain and heighten sexual responses. It also triggers a rush of adrenaline and endorphins, which can result in a natural high, not dissimilar to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nike.com\/a\/runners-high-benefits?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">runner&#8217;s high<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The possibility of greater pleasure and deeper intimacy is too good to pass over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get kinky with it, impact play is the most accessible BDSM discipline for newcomers. All you need is your hand and a consenting partner. Once you&#8217;ve got some experience below the belt you can start bringing toys in &#8211; but let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.downloadclipart.net\/large\/22280-warning-sign-design.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:75px;height:75px\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Be Safe Before You Play<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.downloadclipart.net\/large\/22280-warning-sign-design.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:74px;height:74px\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a full-time kinkster or exploring impact play for the first time, be sensible. Spanking is a sexy &#8216;fun-ishment&#8217; but it&#8217;s still hitting someone, here are some basic steps to keep you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Agreed on a safeword in case things get too intense? You may need to establish a nonverbal queue, such as a gesture or a noise maker, like a squeaking toy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Got a first aid kit to hand? An icepack or some cooling aloe vera is good for tender bums, but it&#8217;s best practice to have basic wound care (latex gloves, antiseptic, sterile dressings) on standby.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set out your aftercare needs? I&#8217;ll expand on this in a bit, just make sure it&#8217;s arranged before starting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Do It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So you want to be a <em>hit <\/em>in the bedroom.

Places where the skin is thinner, or over organs are a no-go for anything more than light taps. Joints and your neck should be avoided entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a beginner stick with their bottom. Sex therapist <a href=\"http:\/\/davidortmann.com\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Ortmann<\/a> has a top tip for hitting your target; have your partner wear a pair of underwear that covers their cheeks and aim to spank the clothed area. This will keep you away from the spine, avoiding unnecessary pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightly curve your palm, keeping fingers together, like a good applause. This will keep your hand and sub safe, as well as provide an oh-so-satisfying clap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Do some light spanking and get the blood flow going<\/em>,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamecaramel.com\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Caramel<\/a> instructed us, &#8220;<em>make sure you watch for their reaction and adjust accordingly. Never just go for it<\/em>.&#8221; Build intensity and frequency as you play, but start gently and alternate cheeks to keep things flowing. Focusing on one spot will be painful, so don&#8217;t forget to intersperse with some gentle rubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, your &#8216;scene&#8217; will end before anyone taps out from pain or exertion. Agreeing on a number of smacks or counting as you go is a way to manage this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing Toys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>I always try toys on myself to understand what the submissive feels,<\/em>&#8221; is the advice Madame Caramel gave us and having dabbled with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondara.co.uk\/bondage-gear-fetish-wear\/floggers-whips-ticklers\/paddles?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paddles<\/a>, I agree with her! There&#8217;s two types of pain associated with impact play toys &#8211; &#8216;stingy&#8217; and &#8216;thuddy&#8217;. A sting is a surface-level pain, while a thud resonates deeper. A general rule of thumb, though not universal, is that the larger the surface area a toy has, the more &#8216;thuddy&#8217; the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a good idea to work on your aim, especially if you&#8217;re using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondara.co.uk\/bondage-gear-fetish-wear\/floggers-whips-ticklers\/floggers?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flogger<\/a> where it&#8217;s harder to control. We got to practice in a leather-decked dungeon, but if you don&#8217;t have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondara.co.uk\/master-series-extreme-obedience-sex-bench?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_impact_play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sex bench<\/a> &#8220;<em>practice your aim on a pillow, or even a teddy bear<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, take the steps from spanking and apply it to your toys. Start slowly, alternate locations and break up spanking with gentler touches. You&#8217;re not trying toy to wale on your partner like a pi\u00f1ata, toys provide additional sensations and textures to explore. Tickle with the tails of a flogger, use your paddle&#8217;s smoothness to soothe, have fun teasing your submissive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spankers, Floggers, and Paddles, Oh My!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve warmed your sub up with your hands, now you&#8217;re eager to open the toy box.

Aftercare is what it sounds like; care that&#8217;s performed <em>after <\/em>your session to help wind things down and let everyone decompress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those taking the Dominant role, it&#8217;s likely your submissive will be sore. Make sure they&#8217;re okay, get them a snack to help level out the natural high from pain (a bit like getting a biscuit after donating blood), and offer to apply some soothing lotion. It&#8217;s a good idea to have some chocolate on standby for Doms too! Despite consent, it&#8217;s still hard to cause physical harm to someone you care about. This is where discussing the experience can help lighten that emotional demand, as well as give you both a chance to review what was enjoyed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What kind of care you&#8217;ll need is different for everyone and it&#8217;s best practice to establish what you both want beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So ask your partner to strike a pose and practice your tennis swing, you&#8217;ve got the know-how to make an impact in the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave us a comment if you&#8217;ve been inspired to try impact play, or share your tips for fledgling floggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget to clean your toys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
