Making an Impact: BDSM impact play

Impact play is the art of striking the body to produce enjoyable sensations. Perhaps you like it when your lover smacks you during intercourse or catches you licking the bowl while they're cooking and takes a spatula to you. If so, you may want to investigate impact play.

Generally speaking, one could enjoy two types of feelings: tingly and thuddy.

Although this does not imply that you can like one or the other, it can assist many people in negotiating for (and obtaining!) the particular kind of playing sensation they desire.

Stingy feeling: Are you excited by the sound of a whip (or a damp towel) cracking? Since it concentrates on targeted, topical stimulation rather than something more profound and diffused, the stinging sting of a cane across the ass is a distinct and powerful experience that many people find enjoyable.

Thuddy sensation: Perhaps you like the way a heavy flogger, a larger strap, or even a stack of stockings stuffed within another one can give your thighs and back a deep beating. If so, Thuddy might be more your style.

We're prepared to discuss safety now that you know what to anticipate. There are a few crucial factors to consider while striking the body: Location, location, location!

When making physical contact with someone, you should concentrate on striking their fleshy or muscular parts rather than those over internal organs, joints, bones, or arteries. This implies that the thighs and soft buttocks are ideal locations for generating pleasure. Floggers, crops, and other impact devices that can avoid the spine are also excellent for the shoulder blades. But since each body is unique, this is only a template. Even in green zones, someone could still dislike being strongly impacted.

If you're more of a hands-on person, you can try spanking someone's breasts, thighs, and ass, provided they give you the all-clear. However, be extremely cautious when it comes to augmented breasts. Try it with your fingers open, hands closed and flat, or even your palms cupped for added sound. Please take note of how it feels to hit the body and then firmly press into it vs striking and pulling away fast.

Learning to use items correctly is essential to add them to your quiver. Being by yourself is a fantastic method to practice. Make a few target places on a pillow at home that you want to practice aiming for. Then, use your crop or flogger to see if you can hit those markers regularly. Please note how close or far you must be from the cushion to use your tool and hit it properly. To manage the tails so they fall together rather than splaying out in all directions, floggers work best when employed in a figure-8 motion. The size, form, and material of crops, pads, spankers, and slappers will all affect how they feel. A softer side for alternating sensations may exist in some people. Depending on the product's shape, it may also leave an impression of itself or a message on the skin, which can be entertaining!

Check in with your partner to learn about their favorite sensations and how well their pain tolerance is holding up. Asking them on a scale of 1 to 10 how intense it feels or how much pain they want to take in this scene is a simple method. Also, remember that you always have your safe word in case you want to halt or end the scene for whatever reason.
