Why do some people like pushing themselves to pain during sport or exercise?
Why do some people like eating spicy food until their mouth burns and their face is covered in sweat?
Why do some people like to hold in painful yoga positions for five minutes?
Because it can be a huge amount of pleasure in a painful experience when it’s “done right” and with care. During any sexual act when the person enjoys the experience the brain releases dopamine and pain during sex can cause an endorphin rush that is super pleasurable.
There is a whole spectrum when it comes to spanking and those who like a slap on their ass during sex doesn’t necessary like a session with a cane.
So why do we love it?
- Pain and the contrast between soft and hard touch can heighten the sensitivity in the body.
- Many people get turned on from the feeling of being naughty. Getting spanked can be associated with being punished and we get punished when we have been naughty.
- Spanking can feel like it’s something people don’t normally do during sex and the thought of doing something that is taboo or that “we shouldn’t enjoy this” can be a massive turn on.
- It can be a fun and exciting part of a role play scenario with the school teacher or other fantasies.
- The anticipation can be a big turn on! Where will it hit, how hard, what kind of sensation?
- Spanking can be a part of a power exchange. Either being in control and being given the trust to spank someone or giving up control and surrender to someone and let them spank you.
- The sound of getting spanked can be a turn on.
I was gifted this pocket size faux leather flogger from Lovehoney and it’s a perfect beginners flogger. Personally I love the sensation from being teased and gentle strokes with the flogger all over my body. Like you will stroke someone with a feather or scarf but this is a whole new level of sensation. You can use it for delivering of bracing whips and a satisfying stings. It’s vegan friendly and great pocket flogger to bring into the bedroom for some extra fun that isn’t intimidating.
