Spanking and Sexuality

Among adult partners, playful spanking in intimate situations has an erotic, sexual function.

Depending on the intention, planning and intensity of this activity (petting, beatings during coitus, educational game), one can speak of a more erotic game or of a BDSM variety, especially sadomasochism. Nevertheless, many feel their passion for spanking as something unique that has little in common with classic sadomasochism.

Spanking can be done by hand, cane, whip, birch rod, carpet beater, hairbrush, paddle, martinet, tawse or a variety of other instruments depending on individual preference.

Erotic spanking can be practiced in very different ways. The palette ranges from tender stroking slaps to educational games to severe punishment with bondage. Simultaneous and mutual squeezing (squeezing) into the partner's buttocks is also popular, which can also be carried out in an exhibitionistic sense, for example when strolling through the city.

Derived from this, spanking is also spoken of as a consensual sexual practice (erotic spanking). In the German-speaking world, spanking is only understood as the latter, while the term "fighting punishment" and numerous colloquial terms such as "spank" etc. are used for punishment in child-rearing.
