Flogger & Co. – Spanking 101
Spanking—the targeted hitting of the buttocks, thighs, or back—is one of the oldest erotic games in the world. Today, it's experiencing a sensual revival in the BDSM and kink scene: deliberate, consensual, and full of body communication.
Whether with the hand, a paddle or a flogger – the appeal lies in the mixture of pain, dominance, surprise and pure pleasure.
Why is spanking so arousing?
- Nerve explosion : Light to moderate strokes activate nerve endings and release endorphins – a natural pleasure enhancer.
- Pure mind cinema : Spanking often triggers feelings of control, submission or devotion – without it having to be “too much”.
- Body language : The way you touch or hit someone can have a more intense impact than words.
What percussion tools are there?
- Hand : Classic, direct, emotional. Ideal for beginners, as the pressure and pace are immediately noticeable.
- Paddles : Flat, usually made of leather, wood, or silicone – produce a thumping , thumping sound. Also available with rivets or text ("SLUT," "YES").
- Flogger : Multi-tailed whips made of leather, suede, or rubber. Depending on the material and technique, they can be more of a stroking or whipping action .
- Riding Crop : Precise, more intense—more suitable for advanced riders. Small impact, big impact.
- Gag or heart paddle : Decorative & playful, produce light to medium blows – often in combination with bondage.
Who is spanking suitable for?
- For the curious who want to gently push their limits.
- For couples who want to deepen desire and trust through physical interaction.
- For anyone who wants to experiment with dominance, submission or power games.
Safety & Tips
- Build up heat : Never beat hard straight away – start gently and then increase.
- Don't hit everywhere : Taboo zones include the kidneys, spine, and neck. Ideal: buttocks, thighs, and shoulder blades.
- Take traces into account : Depending on the tool, pressure and skin type, redness or hematomas may occur.
- Use a safe word – also important when spanking, as the pleasure can turn into pain.
- Don’t forget aftercare : cooling, applying cream, cuddling – aftercare completes the experience.
