Face Slapping

Lifestyle Glossary · BDSM

Face slapping is a form of impact play that specifically involves the face. Some adults may include it in an agreed scene, while many do not. It carries a real possibility of injury and should not be normalized by a role, relationship, media portrayal, or an assumption that consent to one activity means consent to another.

Explicit consent and clearly stated hard limits are essential, but they do not make risk disappear. This entry intentionally excludes any guidance on how to carry out face slapping.
