Kinkly explains Masochism

Introducing masochistic elements into the bedroom can be a bit intimidating at first especially if your partner is somewhat resistant to causing you pain. The key is to start slowly and work your way up from there. For instance, have your partner lightly spank you first before they move on to using more painful methods such as caning or flogging. For safety reasons, you and your partner should also learn the proper way to use tools like whips and canes before incorporating them into the bedroom. Also, you and your partner should set limits and establish a safe word before playing.
