Often combined with sensation play, bondage and/or domination. It is often misunderstood by those unfamiliar with it, most often being seen as a form of abuse. However when administered with love and care it can be a very powerful experience.

Why do people enjoy Impact Play?

There are a number of reasons people enjoy impact play, including:

  1. Physical sensation: The impact of a strike can create a physical sensation that some people find pleasurable or arousing.

  2. Power exchange: Impact play can involve a power dynamic where one partner is in control and the other is submitting to their will, which can be a turn-on for some.

  3. Endorphin rush: The body's natural response to pain is to release endorphins, which can create a feeling of euphoria or "subspace" in some individuals.

  4. Emotional release: Impact play can be a way for people to release stress or negative emotions in a safe and consensual environment.

  5. Exploration: Trying new things and exploring different aspects of one's sexuality can be exciting and enjoyable for some individuals.

Impact Play Tips

If you're interested in exploring impact play, here are a few tips for beginners:

  2. Start slow: Begin with light taps or strokes and gradually increase the intensity as you and your partner become more comfortable.

  3. Know your limits: Make sure that you are aware of your own physical and emotional limits, and that you are comfortable with the level of impact you are receiving.

  4. Use proper technique: Make sure that you are using proper technique when striking your partner, as improper technique can lead to injury or discomfort.
