Erotic spanking

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Erotic spanking is a sexual activity involving the spanking of one person by another for the sexual arousal or gratification of either or both parties. It is considered part of BDSM and can involve either one-on-one activities, or a larger number of people.

History

Erotic spanking has been around for centuries, with references to it appearing in ancient art and literature. It was often associated with flagellation in a religious context, but has since evolved into a form of sexual play.

Techniques

There are many different techniques used in erotic spanking, including the use of hands or various implements such as paddles or whips. The intensity can vary from light spanking to hard spanking. The person being spanked is often referred to as the bottom, and the person doing the spanking is referred to as the top.

Psychology

The psychology behind erotic spanking is complex and can involve elements of dominance and submission, role play, and other BDSM activities. Some people enjoy the physical sensation of spanking, while others enjoy the psychological aspects.

Safety

As with all BDSM activities, safety is a key concern. It is important for all parties involved to consent to the activity, and for the top to be aware of the bottom's physical and emotional limits. Safe words are often used to ensure the bottom's comfort and safety.
