The Impact Of Impact Toys

The Impact Of Impact Toys

Ever since Fifty Shades of Grey skyrocketed into bedrooms across the world, people have become more adventurous when it comes to exploring kink and BDSM. There were many different sexy scenes in the books that had people gasping and wondering. Some we’d never even heard of before!

Some of the most intriguing aspects were the implements of pleasure and pain that were described. Of course, things like crops, paddles and canes were not invented in the book. Rather, impact toys have been integral to BDSM sex for a long time! A well-placed smack can be an incredible endorphin rush. Repeating that action can build and build those feelings until you’re begging for more - anything and everything. Most people start their experiments with a good old-fashioned spanking. But if you are looking to expand your impact play pleasure chest beyond sexy spankings, here are some stunning products that are must haves.

 

Crops

Crops

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a jockey to use a crop (unless you’ve got some role play happening!). You and your partner can enjoy the sting of a crop in many different ways. Crops are great because of their versatility. It is possible to really inflict some pain with a crop, but you can also run it gently, teasingly over your partner’s skin. And once you do that, bring down the pain! The sensations caused by crops are quick and biting, but they don’t last for too long. You can give you partner nasty little flicks of pain all over their body, with a crop, finding the most sensitive spots.

 

Floggers

Crops

These are the toys many people associate with impact play. Usually made of leather and sometimes called cat o’ nine tails, floggers produce a completely unique and utterly delicious sensation. They are a great introductory toy because they can be just as hot and sensual when used lightly as when they are wielded with force. Some floggers have thin strings of leather, while others feature thicker strands. Every different type produces a different feeling when they are smacked against the skin. Floggers are also great, in some levels of moderation, to be used around most of the body. The bum, the back, the chest, the thighs - pretty much anywhere really!

 

Paddles

Crops

So you’ve tried spanking, love it, and want something a little harder. Back in the day, schoolteachers would use something similar to paddles to reprimand students. Nowadays, these flat, sturdy implements of pain are used to please both the giver and receiver! Paddles are used primarily on the buttocks and back upper thighs. You can find paddles made of wood and leather. When you smack with a paddle, the pain is dispersed widely throughout the impact surface. This makes it more of a dull, throbbing pain. It is strongly advised that you do not use paddles on other parts of the body.

 

Canes

Crops

If you try crops and paddles and find that you really like them, then you might be ready for canes. MIGHT. Canes are an advanced impact toy that can cause considerable physical harm if not used responsibly and with care. It is very possible that you could break the skin’s surface with a hard cane lash, so if you’re doing the caning, you need to practice your strokes before you try them on your partner’s back, bum or thighs. And if you’re the one being caned, ensure you don’t get too excited and take your time getting used to the sensations before begging for more. With all of these precautions in place, you can have a truly mind-blowing and intimate experience revelling in the unique stinging sensation of a bamboo cane.

When you take the leap to impact play, it is key to always establish a safeword and discuss your individual and mutual limits. This is a form of hitting and when it is not done to everyone’s needs, injuries and mistrust can happen. However, if done right, impact play can knock you for a sexy loop.
