Exploring Impact Play in BDSM

Impact play in my experience, is an activity where an implement is used to strike with force on a part of the body. I keep away from high risk areas such as joints, kidneys and any areas that are not protected by fat or muscle and mostly target the upper back and buttocks. An object used for this type of play could be a paddle, strap, flogger, cane, baton, whip or even a fist or foot. An implement can be made of a variety of materials including wood, rubber, leather, plastic, carbon, rattan, etc.

Impact play is definitely one of my favourite activities and popular amongst my regular clientele. For most of those who visit me requesting heavy impact play, it is more a need than a fetish. One of my goals is to fill that need, and for my clients to leave feeling better than they did when they entered the dungeon, regardless of how much pain I have inflicted during their stay!

A typical Impact Play process

I aim to customize each session to suit what the client has asked for. There is no point whatsoever in having a set style for every impact play request, unless it’s a first timer. If I am seeing a client who has never experienced impact play, I will start with a warm up and increase the intensity throughout the session. I will stop on occasions to check in with the client. The first time with a client is never typical so I am careful and take things slowly.

When a session involves impact play I will get information from the client about their past experience, reasons why they wish to receive, if they have any injuries, medical conditions, any medications , and if they wish for marks to be left on their body etc. A safe-word is put in place so that a client can halt a session if he needs to.

There are many BDSM scenarios where impact play may be applied. Just to name a few: Head Mistress and student role play, Sadist and masochist session, slave training, general discipline to keep a wandering mind in line, and many more!

In my opinion, the mind is the most important part of the play!

Safety is the priority if you are trying it at home

There are so many books and educational sites on the internet. On some of those sites there is access to skill shares and workshops run by BDSM practitioners. If you want to try Impact Play, attend workshops or skill shares, go to events and munches. There are always kinksters about who are happy to share skills or watch over you on your first time trying something new. Read from reliable sources and communicate well with your partner before play begins. Be sure that you understand what limits are, and just as importantly, what yours and your partners’ are. Communication is of great importance. With time comes experience so don’t rush things!
