{"title":"Impact Play","description":"What is impact play? Impact play is the act of using specially-designed kink toys to hit your partner for their pleasure. We know, we know. That's a dry definition. But just think of sexual spanking! Spanking is a type of impact play in BDSM. Not only is it an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kinkly.com\/the-art-of-impact-how-to-increase-intimacy-with-impact-play\/2\/15433\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eintimate and vulnerable activity\u003c\/a\u003e to share with your partner, but the act of spanking releases those feel-good brain chemicals called endorphins which can heighten all of the other sensations during your sex session! In order to do this impact play, we use impact play toys which allow us to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kinkly.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-impact-play-toys-and-spanking-implements\/2\/15881\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecreate different sensations\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst, let's talk about paddles. A paddle sex toy (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/products\/sportsheets-leather-paddle-with-black-fur-side\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elike this one\u003c\/a\u003e!) is a long, flat, sturdy toy that can be used for spanking. Most paddles are rigid, but there are a few exceptions that are \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/products\/sportsheets-enchanted-heart-paddle\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esofter and more-flexible\u003c\/a\u003e in design. A sex paddle is a great beginner's start to impact play because it's so easy to handle. A paddle sex toy strikes where you want it to without requiring much practice. The sensation from a sex paddle can range from \"thuddy\" (which is more of a deep-tissue sensation) to \"stingy\" (which is more like a skin-surface sensation like being slapped). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA riding crop for sex is our next beginner-friendly type of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play-scene\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eimpact play toy\u003c\/a\u003e. What is a riding crop? A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/products\/sportsheets-slender-impulse-crop\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eriding crop\u003c\/a\u003e is a long, flexible stick. On one end of the stick, there's a handle for easy-gripping. On the opposing end of the stick, there's a small piece of rigid fabric. The user grips the handle and aims for the tip of the riding crop (with the rigid fabric piece!) to strike the area they want to strike. Like a paddle for sex, a BDSM riding crop is relatively easy to aim, and it lends itself well to a beginner's exploration of impact play toys. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNext, let's talk about floggers. What is a flogger? Floggers (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/products\/sportsheets-diamond-gem-handle-flogger\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elike this one\u003c\/a\u003e!) are strips of a fabric material attached to a handle. Floggers are designed to be swung with the \"ends\" of the flogger whip hitting the area where you want to hit. The sensation of a flogger can range from \"massaging\" all the way up to \"painful\". A flogger can take a tremendous amount of practice to gain proficiency at wielding one, and it's generally not the first impact play toy we recommend to beginners. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf course, that isn't where the kinky impact play tools end! \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/type_slapper\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSlappers\u003c\/a\u003e are like paddles - but designed more for making large amounts of noise (for the mental reaction) more than the physical sensations. A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/type_whip\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewhip\u003c\/a\u003e is like a flogger - but has a fewer number of \"tails\" and can be much harder to control. A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.kinkly.com\/collections\/impact-play\/type_tickler\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etickler\u003c\/a\u003e is a toy designed for \"tickling\" your partner, but it can be used for impact play as well.
