Spanking

Lifestyle Glossary · BDSM

Spanking is a form of consensual impact play that may be playful, erotic, disciplinary, comforting, or part of a power exchange, depending on the people involved. The same word can describe very different experiences, so assumptions about intensity or meaning are unreliable.

Clear agreements make space for enjoyment without treating endurance as an obligation. Consent, a known hard limit, and thoughtful aftercare help participants stay connected before, during, and after a scene.
