Spanking involves striking the buttocks with an open hand or implements like paddles, hairbrushes, or other tools. It's one of the most common and accessible BDSM activities.
The practice ranges from light, playful slaps to intense disciplinary scenes. The buttocks are relatively safe for impact due to muscle and fat padding, making spanking among the lower-risk impact activities.
Appeal varies - some enjoy the physical sensation (from pleasure to pain), others the psychological elements of discipline or submission, others the intimacy of the position, and many enjoy combinations of these elements.
Over-the-knee (OTK) positioning is traditional and intimate, though other positions work as well. Warming up gradually, checking in about intensity, and providing aftercare are standard good practices.
Safety Information
Stay on buttocks (avoid lower back/kidneys). Warm up gradually. Check in about intensity.
