Percussion Play

Percussion play is a form of bdsm activity that involves some form of striking with an impact implement or with a bare hand as a part of an erotic, discipline, or power play experience.

Percussion play is a form of touching someone that can be wildly erotic.  It can include anything from light, playful spanking to flagellation with whips and paddles, to caning, flogging and everything in between.  One person's pain is another person's pleasure.  People who enjoy percussion may have spanking fantasies they'd love to fulfill.  Many men and women enjoy the fantasy of being punished for real or imagined "bad behavior".  Some people enjoy being put into a submissive position, while others enjoy the physical sensation of getting their backside (or other sexual parts) warmed up.  Erotic spanking is the most popular form of kinky play that is enjoyed by many who don't consider themselves to be a part of the bdsm scene.

Floggers versus Canes

Percussion play sex toys include whips, paddles, canes, crops, floggers, slappers and more.  Wider implements like paddles often a “thuddy” sensation, while slender impact toys like crops offer a “stingy” sensation.  Whips and floggers are made of softer flexible materials and focus their impact effects on the top layers of skin, whereas paddles, crops and canes are usually made of hard materials and transmit more deeply into the body often causing bruising. While some percussion play toys are just pretty, some are serious tools of discipline like floggers made of horse hair, spiked or studded paddles and four lash whips.

As with any type of bdsm play research and knowledge is important.  It is often good to find an experienced mentor in the community to teach you percussion play, or when learning by yourself and experimenting to go slow and softer at first and to try any toy on yourself first.  With percussion play it is often necessary to warm-up the area of play first so the body has time to adjust.  Remember the bdsm's creed: safe, sane and consensual.

Anatomy

The main areas for impact play include the buttocks, upper back, thighs, chest, and genitals.  When doing percussion play it is important to stay away from the eyes, joints, ribs, spine and tailbone, and below the shoulder blades (kidney area).  When using percussion play on breasts one should be careful not to play hard or too deeply and rupture the tissue and blood vessels in the soft tissue.
