What is an impact set?

Impact play is a consensual BDSM practice. They consist in striking the skin with various accessories or simply with the hand. Spanking is the best-known of these games.

Why is spanking erotic?

The buttocks, close to the primary erogenous zones, are also secondary erogenous zones. Their stimulation can provoke intense arousal in sensitive individuals. Context also plays a key role: a false punishment given by the dominant person, a role-playing game where a submissive person (e.g. a "little" or a "brat") seeks to be corrected, can all intensify the erotic aspect. Finally, for pain lovers, the sadistic or masochistic pleasure of an intense spanking has a strong erotic dimension.

How important is impact play in BDSM?

Impact play occupies a major place in the BDSM universe, particularly in sensation play, discipline and sadomasochism. These practices enable a wide range of sensations to be explored, from gentle, arousing caresses to intense, marked pain. Spanking, often the first impact game discovered, is easy to practice. It requires no special equipment or experience, and can already be very exciting. Conversely, practices such as flogging with a single-tail whip are renowned for their intensity and the sharp pain they inflict, and are reserved for the most experienced enthusiasts.
