Impact Play is the umbrella term for BDSM practices involving strikes, by hand or with a flogger, paddle, belt, cane or other tools. Impact Play is the umbrella term for all BDSM practices that involve delivering strikes to the body, whether by hand, as in spanking, or with a flogger, paddle, belt, cane or other implement. It's BDSM at its most sensory. What makes it so popular is that it's both accessible and endlessly variable. It can start soft and playful and build slowly, and that build-up is where the magic lives. The skin grows more sensitive, the nerves sharper, and each strike echoes as a warm glow. For many, the sensation eventually turns into a rush of endorphins, a heady mix of intensity and pleasure. Impact play is never just about striking hard. It's about rhythm, build-up and the interplay between giver and receiver, who reads and responds to the other. That attunement makes it as intimate as it is exciting, and it fits naturally into dominance and submission. What makes impact play on DateKinky different is that you find people who understand that rhythm and share your taste for sensation.
