BDSM Scratching

How does scratching feel?

Scratching brings vivid sensations, sensually heating up the skin and exacerbating pleasure.

They can be as gentle as a biting caress, or as intense as a deep scratch.

You and your partner can choose the intensity you want to give to the sensations provoked by scratching.

What role do scratches play in BDSM?

Scratching provokes a wide range of sensations, and helps to heighten sensuality during BDSM practices.

They are used specifically:

• In primal play : Scratching and biting evoke a wild, animal aspect.
• In sensual play : Scratching increases sexual tension, and sharpens the skin’s sensitivity to other sensations.
• In Sadism and Masochism : Scratching provokes various levels of pain, and leaves beautiful red marks on the skin.

What to use for scratching?

• Natural nails are the most common way of scratching, leading to the discovery of this practice.
• Metal claws, positioned on the nails, or held in the hand like bear claws.
• A knife, using the tip with care if it’s sharp.
• A wooden quill cut for scratching and writing on skin.

How to scratch in BDSM ?

You can start by massaging or caressing, and then begin to lightly scratch the skin with your nails or chosen instrument. If your partner likes it, you can continue and gradually increase the intensity of the practice.
You can scratch most areas of the body, but it’s best to avoid the more fragile mucous membranes.
