• Practice spanking with or without other elements of bondage play

How to Get Spanked:

• Position yourself over your partner's knee or prop your bottom up with a pillow. For women, the slapping sting will cause her to squirm, simultaneously resulting in light arousing fiction against her clitoris against the supporting knee, pillow, etc.

• Give your partner permission to experiment with common household items like a wooden spoon, a spatula, or a paddle hairbrush.
• It's important to remember that no matter what the role play is for spanking over-the-knee foreplay or an addition raunchy sex, climax is the goal for both partners. Therefore, the actual spanks should be mixed with caresses, gentle rubbing and other consensual foreplay.
