Spank You Very Much

The how-to guide for hitting the (t)high notes

- Lior Phillips

Whether you like having your body interrogated as the spank-ee, or you’re curious to know more about your lover as the spank-er, sexy spanking isn’t just about submission, dominance, or 50 shades of no-way. It’s all about igniting an erotic spark.

So if your sexual landscape feels like a depressing wasteland, it might be time to invest in a paddle. Here’s how to get started.

MUM’S THE WORD

Getting bent over and slapped on your bare ass is a funishment, isn’t it? But it’s vital to ensure it’s sensual at every crack. First, you and your tasty lover must consent to adding this new shade of colour to your love life, and then devise a list of non-cringey safe words that can be blurted out (granted you aren’t wearing a mouth gag, you saucy minx).

Opt for a cue that would never be misconstrued for dirty talk, like ‘Ouma Rusks!’, ‘Helen Zille!’ or ‘Water Crisis!’ Healthy BDSM play needs to revolve around respect, and a partner who does not respect your safe word is not a partner you should play with.
