If you’re interested in incorporating spanking into your BDSM play, there are many ways to get started. You can begin with light spanking using a hand or other soft implement, gradually increasing the intensity until you find a level that works for both partners. You can also experiment with different spanking positions, such as lying over the lap or bending over furniture.
While traditionally spanking refers to hand spanking, there’s a wide variety of implements that can be used. These spanking implements each provide unique sensations- here are just a few to start your journey:
A warm-up before spanking is a crucial part of the process, and it serves multiple essential functions:
Regarding how a warm-up for spanking may occur, it often involves starting with lighter spanks or a massage of the area to be spanked. The intensity can then gradually be increased according to the comfort and consent of the spankee.
Spanking can also cater to various fetishes within BDSM:
Spanking positions in BDSM or discipline are the different postures used by the person being spanked (spankee) and the person doing the spanking (spanker). These positions can vary based on the individuals’ relationships and preferences. Here are some common spanking positions:
Each position offers different levels of comfort, exposure, and movement.
The spanker sits while the spankee is placed over their lap for a spanking.
The spankee bends over furniture like a bed or a chair, which can increase the psychological impact.

Spanking is a mainstay in BDSM play that involves striking a submissive buttocks with a hand or implement. While it’s often experienced as a form of punishment, spanking has a wide range of potential emotional and physical effects. The practice of spanking can be pleasurable, painful, or somewhere in between, and the physical sensations it creates can also stir up a variety of emotional responses.
Spanking, as used in BDSM scenes, affects both the sub and the Domme Whether you’re a seasoned BDSM spanker or just curious about exploring new activities, understanding the nuances of spanking can help you create scenes that are emotionally satisfying and physically safe.
First and foremost, it’s important to clarify what CBT entails. At its core, CBT is a type of BDSM activity that focuses on the genitalia and surrounding areas. It can involve a range of techniques, from light bondage to impact play, but the key is that the focus remains on the cock and balls. While this might sound intimidating, it’s important to note that CBT can be as gentle or intense as desired, and boundaries are always respected.
The use of implements, such as paddles, can increase the intensity of the spanking and create distinctive sensations. Some subs enjoy the feeling of being hit with different implements, while others prefer the traditional hand-to-butt spanking. Communication between the sub and the dom is essential to ensure that the scene stays within the sub’s physical limits.
One question that often arises in BDSM circles is how spanking can be both pleasurable and a form of punishment. The answer lies in the intent and context. If the submissive enjoys a spanking, it can be a form of play or reward. However, if spanking is the consequence of breaking rules or disobedience, it becomes a punishment. Even if the submissive finds some physical pleasure in the act, the knowledge that they are being punished can create a psychological impact. However, it is not an adequate punishment for some submissives, and the dominant must consider other consequences.
BDSM punishments aim to help the submissive partner improve their behavior. Spanking as a punishment can be more intense than play spanking and may involve different implements like paddles or canes. It’s crucial that the dominant partner understands the submissive’s pain tolerance and respects their hard limits.
A maintenance spanking reminds the submissive of their role and responsibilities in the relationship. It’s a regular ritual that reinforces the power dynamic between the dominant and the submissive.
Even when spanking is used as a punishment, a warm-up is still essential to prevent injury and make the experience more bearable for the submissive. The dominant can hit harder right away over clothing to protect the skin.
In addition to its physical effects, spanking can also create a range of emotions for both the sub and the dom. For the sub, spanking can produce feelings of vulnerability, submission, and arousal. Many subs enjoy the feeling of being controlled and dominated by their dom during a spanking scene.
For the dom, spanking can create feelings of power, control, and arousal. The sound and sight of the spanking, as well as the sub’s reactions, can be highly erotic and satisfying for the dom. However, the dom must also be attuned to the emotional needs of the sub and ensure that the scene is safe and consensual.
As with any BDSM activity, communication is key when it comes to spanking. Before engaging in a spanking scene, the sub and the dom should discuss their boundaries, physical limitations, and emotional needs. Skilled Dommes are closely in tune with their sub’s reactions and feedback during the scene and adjust their actions accordingly.
Bondage can enhance the experience of spanking in several ways, contributing to both the physical and psychological aspects of BDSM play.
Spanking can indeed cause marks and bruises, depending on the spanking’s intensity, method, and duration. However, it’s important to note that safety should always be the top priority in any BDSM activity. Here are some potential effects:
Remember, all BDSM activities should be consensual, safe, sane, and respectful. Open communication about boundaries, desires, and limits is essential in any BDSM relationship. Aftercare, including checking for injuries and providing comfort and reassurance, is also vital post-spanking.
If a mark or bruise doesn’t fade, becomes painful, or is accompanied by other symptoms like fever or intense pain, it’s crucial to seek medical attention as it could indicate an injury or infection.
