What is impact play?

Impact play is a consensual BDSM practice, consisting of skin percussion using various accessories, or simply the hand.
The best-known impact play is spanking.

What role does impact play play in BDSM?

Impact play has a very important place in BDSM, especially in sensation play, discipline and sadomasochism.
In fact, impact play allows you to explore a wide range of sensations, which can be gentle, exciting or very painful.

Spanking is generally the first discovery of impact play; easy to apply by hand, it requires no special training and can already provoke strong arousal.

Single tail flogging, on the other hand, is one of the most dreaded, known for the severe pain it inflicts.

What is the history of spanking?

Spanking is thought to have appeared in the Neolithic period, with the advent of sedentary life. It continued into Antiquity, but really took off during the Renaissance.

Up until the end of the 19th century, spanking was used in schools, notably in English education, where it left its mark with harsh corrections and spankings that often resulted in disgust.

What accessories are used for impact games?

There are two common BDSM practices:

• Flogging: The whip is used mainly on large areas of the body, usually the back and buttocks.
• Spanking: mainly paddles, badines and percuteurs, requiring fleshy areas of the body, so as not to cause damage.

Why is spanking erotic?

The buttocks are very close to the primary erogenous zones, where percussion is also felt.
They are also secondary erogenous zones, and for people who are sensitive to them, can provoke strong arousal by stimulating them.

The context of spanking can also be very exciting, a false punishment from the Dominant person, which the submissive person has played at provoking.
Putting a little or a brat in its place can trigger a lot of pleasure.

Sadistic and masochistic pleasure provoked by the pain of hard spankings alone will have a strong erotic power for those who are sensitive to it.

How to choose an impact play accessory?

Together with your partner, you’ll need to determine the desired level of pain for your BDSM instrument. This can vary greatly depending on the accessory chosen.

-Choosing the body zone

Different BDSM instruments are adapted to the area of the body you wish to impact.
