Erotic Spanking, Whipping And Flagellation - Facts And Information
Flagellation, whipping and erotic spanking is the practice of punishing another person for mutual sexual gratification. Erotic spanking is a form of fetish or BDSM activity, although many whipping and spanking devotees do not regard it as such. Erotic spanking can be carried out with the bare hands or with special flagellation, whipping and spanking implements such as canes, crops, floggers, paddles, slappers and whips. Erotic spanking is sometimes combined with fetish or sexual role playing and/or age play. Erotic spanking and whipping is often delivered on the bare buttocks, and often the spankee is fully nude and exposed, or the woman will wear a spanking skirt with bare buttocks, for additional humiliation and sexual arousal.
Many sexually adventurous individuals and couples obtain sexual gratification from being spanked or whipped and enjoy giving spankings and whippings to others. Many people incorporate erotic spanking, flagellation and whipping with sex, particularly fetish sex practices associated with bondage and BDSM, and may employ some kind of spanking or whipping to sexually arouse each other during sexual acts. For instance, many men, while penetrating a female partner from behind - either anal sex or doggie style vaginal - will spank her buttocks so as to provide more pleasure.
In the sexual sub-culture of fetishism and BDSM, flagellation, whipping and erotic spanking involves beating the submissive partner and is a form of impact sex play. Such a flogging is not always delivered with forceful blows - sometimes it is done with very soft strokes, repeated a great many times so as to make the skin sensitive. Thus, the softest impact will eventually feel very intense. Flogging, spanking and whipping for erotic thrill, typically with implements such as floggers, whips, paddles, or canes, has been called the English vice.
The flogger used in this context has a large number of soft broad suede or leather thongs or whips. The impact leaves a stinging sensation. Used with light or medium intensity, it can almost act as a form of massage. Used intensely or for longer periods, it becomes painful. Flagellation with a whip or similar instrument, usually on the shoulder blades, bare buttocks, or other fatty areas of the body, can leave bruising but does not cut or permanently mark the skin.
Erotic spanking, flogging and whipping is the practice of flagellating another person for the sexual gratification of either or both parties. Erotic spanking can be regarded as a form of BDSM activity in some cases - sadomasochism in particular - although many spanking devotees do not regard it as such.

Erotic spankings and whippings are most commonly combined with sexual foreplay, oral sex, sexual intercourse, sexual role playing and/or age play. The most common type of erotic spanking and whipping is administered on the bare buttocks, with the spankee in many cases being fully nude, for additional sexual arousal, or for humiliation in a BDSM context. Bondage is also combined occasionally with erotic spankings, to heighten sexual arousal and feelings of helplessness of the spankee, but is very common in BDSM relationships.

When men spank women, they may sometimes like them to dress up as a schoolgirl, or to role play the part of a daughter, secretary, nurse, maid and other roles and then proceed to lower the panties, if any, before administering the spanking. Men who enjoy being spanked or whipped often like women to wear some combination of a skirt, high heels, garter belt, nylons, and fancy panties. If a women is the spanker, men may enjoy women who dress and act superior, and dress the part of a sexually dominant female dominatrix, and also may involve the spanker role-playing the part of a strict teacher, headmistress, governess, boss, nurse, babysitter or wife.
A few people with a sexual interest in spanking draw on historical corporal punishment techniques used in homes, schools, courts or prisons. However they are generally careful to distinguish their consensual sexual activities from their views of child-rearing, education and public policy. Punishment spankings and erotic spankings are easy to to separate, as punishment spanking usually involve the spankee experiencing medium to extreme physical discomfort or pain in the administration of the spanking, sometimes to the point of crying, which in the context of domestic discipline, is a form of emotional release and behavioral modification, and/or mental/physical control over the spankee by the spanker.
