Impact Play

Impact play is a form of BDSM or kink that involves striking the body to create physical sensations, ranging from stinging to thudding. This practice typically utilizes various implements such as paddles, floggers, canes, or hands to elicit erotic arousal or psychological release. Safety is managed through frameworks like SSC, which centres a safe, sane, and consensual standard, or RACK, which acknowledges inherent risk and requires informed, consensual risk awareness. Because it carries physical risks, impact play requires a thorough understanding of anatomy and proper technique to ensure all activity remains consensual and controlled.
