Definition
Beating falls under the category of impact play, which is a sexual practice where a person is struck by another person for sexual enjoyment. Can be done in the form of “punishment” to the submissive.
Safety Concerns
A main safety concern is having a general knowledge of human anatomy. Some parts of the body if struck can cause major damage, such as: hipbones, kidneys, neck, tailbone, all joints, and the head. Wrapping can be a major concern as well. This is when a flogger wraps around the individual being hit, often hitting the ribs or hipbones. It is quite painful, since you can’t determine where it will land. The longer the falls on the flogger, the more care and training the dominant party should have. The main targets that are normally struck when using toys are the butt and the upper back below the shoulder blades. If you are careful enough, the thighs, chest, and backs of the calves may be struck as well. Breasts are a very high-risk area to strike. With all BDSM, there should be consent between both parties.
Terms
- Spanking~ A spank applied to the buttocks. Can use hand, or paddle.
- Flogging~ Using a flogger, which usually has a number of broad soft pieces--called tails--made of suede, leather, or another permissible material. On impact, leaves a thuddy to stinging sensation, depending on the material. Normally won’t leave a cut, but will bruise if done in an area for an extended period of time.
- Paddling~ A paddle is usually wooden with a long, flat face and a narrow neck, used to administer a spanking to the buttocks. Could be considered too hard and heavy for use on another part of the body.
- Caning~ Physical punishment that can be a number of hits with a wooden cane. Common areas include the buttocks, the hands, shoulder blades, or the soles of the feet.
- Body punching~ Some find sexual gratification from punching someone or being punched. This would be a blow to the body with a fist.
- Hitting~ striking someone with either a hand or another implement to cause pain.
- Slapping~ striking someone with the palm of the hand, can be anywhere on the body, usually associated with the face.
- Kicking~ Using the legs to strike someone on their body.
- Stomping~ Using the foot to strike down on a person with force.
- Hairbrush~ Can be used to strike the body.
- Shoes/boots~ Used to stomp or walk on a submissive.
- Bare feet~ In this case used for kicking and stomping another person.
- Quirt~ Short, flexible piece of thickly braided leather with two wide pieces of leather at the end, inflicting more noise than pain.
- Flogger~ Used to whip the human body. Has long tail like extensions that can be made of leather, cord, rubber, etc.
- Cane~ Used for the act of caning, striking the bottom forcefully with a cane.
