Cordelia is back with some sex education about impact play!

What is it? Impact play is when hands, paddles, whips, floggers, or other objects (books, belts, cooking instruments, strops, canes, batons, cat-o-nines, bullwhips, etc) are used to hit one’s body. The item’s used are typically wrist thick, enough to really inflict some pain and can be made out of different materials, the most common, however, are leather, metal, wood, or flesh (hands/fists).

Some even use canes as well. This fetish includes two parts – the person who enjoys the feeling of impact and the person who enjoys inflicting the impact. Also note, the impact can also be a kick as well as a slap/hit.

Tips:

If you’re the person delivering the slap, try to focus areas with more fat like the booty or thighs, etc. Doing so can prevent potential injuries to vital organs (Which is surprisingly not hard to do if you hit someone hard enough/in the wrong spot/at the wrong angle. Sometimes accidents just happen.) Seriously, if you whack someone on the lower back, you can potentially injury the kidneys.

Things like that are so important to know when you involve yourself in different kind of plays. Also, start gently! Don’t just go full force with a good hard whack! No, warm that booty up! Start light and then increase the strength over time.

Also, as I mentioned above, it’s important to know the correct area to hit. When done wrong, things can go really wrong and that doesn’t just involve harming vital organs. You can cause open wounds, nerve damage, potential paralysis, concussion if you strike the head, broken bones, suffocation, lactic acid poisoning (this happens easier than one might think!), exhaustion, dehydration, and potential loss of consciousness. Your safety and the safety of your partner is so important so I encourage you to keep these things in mind when playing.

If you’re new to impact play, I suggest starting light. Use a hand, maybe a belt or something you have lying around. Then go ahead and increase your collection of spank toys to whips and paddles.

The whole purpose of impact play is the intent to cause deep, deep tissue bruises that will actually take some time to heal. Usually days, up to weeks. This is what makes this different from a simple spanking or flogging. Impact play is meant to cause bruises. As I said before, it starts with a slow warm up to a repetitive ‘beating’ (Think more like beating on a drum vs abusing ones partner.)

It’s super important to have an open line of communication with your partner.

If you’re uncomfortable or not enjoying what’s happening, you need to be able to speak up whether that’s outright saying it or having safe word with your partner. You should also have a conversation about limits beforehand and only engage of play like this with someone you TRUST. If you haven’t played with any kind of spanking, start there. There is NO harm in starting small and working your way up.
