Spankings. Question for the Ladies.

I know this is going to make me sound like a complete and total vanilla dumbass. Which I am the latter but not the former.

Regardless... Why do some women like and request to be spanked? I don't understand it. I've had S.O's who loved it and requested it on the reg. And you do it, because it's what turns them on. I get (reasonable/non-violent) face slapping, even choking and hair pulling. But ass spanking? I feel ridiculous and bored while doing it. For the life of me I don't know what they get out of it. But hey, we all have our thing.

Just curious. For the one's who like it, what does an ass slap or a full on spanking do for you?

I'm curious about this too...

What is the distinction for you between face slapping and ass spanking? Your question inspires just as much questions as it does answers for me. When I've heard people say they don't have a preference for giving corporal punishment, it has been the case that they don't like imparting physical pain at all.

As a masochist and bottom who can withstand moderate and occasionally heavy impact, I enjoy being slapped in the face and spanked. I don't necessarily like one experience more than the other as they bring up different feelings for me. But emotions aside, my face is much more sensitive than my derrière and thighs. So when I'm yearning for a good wallop and all the dramatics, sensations, and intensity that goes with that, my butt cheeks are a much better target for one's hands.

Lena, yeah, I guess I fall in the "don't like imparting physical pain" category. By face slap, I surely don't mean a full on smack down. Perhaps my personal preference is face-to-face eye-to-eye contact. But yes, I can see how one can go to town on an ass with significantly less consequences than other parts of the body. So maybe that's it. It just seems like something you'd do in the 70's.

It's the sensation ~I think. But it's also very mental. . . Oh, a good spanking in the right place on the ass- puts me in Subspace , or cloud 9! I don't like face slapping (oh no ! ) but yes, some light choking done at the right time, yes yes ! A good spanking just gets all the endorphins going , gets her in the mood- to do bad things or to receive- bad things. I'm probably saying it all wrong , I apologize . But I'm literally turned on right now !♡ thinking of a great spanking , the right words in my ear, ( him- growling almost )
Have you been a bad girl today?
Or
Who is in charge ? ?
Ooohhhhhhh!!!! ( wet! ) but a Female dom- will not be turned on by any of this ! Neither will a male submissive ! If- none of this sounds good to you ,there is a huge number of men these days- who want a woman to do BAD BAD things to them ! More of a male sub missive - mind-set! Loving the idea of a woman FULLY IN CHARGE , AND USING HIM , FOR HER PLEASURE. ( even punishing him and humiliating-him..)

And JackC, you are not a Dumb-ass for asking this. In fact, it's one of the smartest threads recently.... Great♡question !

Good thread!! I too have the same question as the OP. I am not a male submissive with the exception that I enjoy knowing my cock is being used for her pleasure. Outside of that, I WILL be in control. My fear with spanking is that I go too far. I can see the draw to some face slapping while face to face. I feel I can keep that under control. I have 2 Playmates currently that I absolutely enjoy and can see spanking being thrown in the mix. But I have two fears. The first is that I might feel awkward or unnatural in giving the spanking. The second is that it might bring out desires in me that I have never experienced and I might loose control. Loosing control in a situation is something that I just do not do!

EastTexas- that is Hot!
(& I don't think you will lose too much control . Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm )
Although , what do I know ?

If you think that you might use too much "gusto" in administering a good, bare-bottomed, OTK spanking, toss away (or set aside) the paddles, floggers, crops, etc., and use your bare hand.

If your hand starts to feel warm, so should her bottom....

If your hand starts turning pink, so should her bottom....

If your hand starts to tingle,..... (well, you get the idea).

I don't have any firsthand (not intended) knowledge of this subject. I just read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Anonymous is right. Mmmmmmmmm. I got a nice hot pink bottom earlier today. (Ouch.)... Mmmmmmm ( licking my lips ).....

I'm very submissive so "spanking" me really gets me wet. I love it, but by no means does that mean the only way I'm turned on is through being spanked. I haven't found a man yet that has spanked me too hard. I don't know....but I really enjoy it.
I agree with Zena, definitely a mental mindset.

Thanks anonymous and ladies!! I am keeping an eye on this thread and eagerly absorbing information. I have a special Playmate that I am going to begin experimenting with in 2017. She has expressed a desire to be spanked. I plan on testing her limits on a lot of things!

One of the things I like about spanking that hasn't been mentioned is that it's an audible experience. I'm very vocal during sex and spanking is something I enjoy and it adds another sense to sex which isn't always present with the noise of spanking (and usually gets a vocal reaction as well). I don't always like it for the "punishment" aspect but because it feels good/shocking and usually because the person doing it usually enjoys it. If I knew I was with someone who was bored by it or didn't understand why they would want to, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

I think the key to spanking is to understand its often about domination. I liked to dominate. I choose partners who tend to want to be submissive...but, spanking, choking, slapping etc...or any kind of domination doesn't have to be pain driven. For a Sub, it is often about being controlled...or surrendering to one's master...or being completely vulnerable...or finding trust.

I think the "rougher" play can be done with or without real pain. It just depends on what you and your partner are into. And for some, pain becomes pleasure.

For me the potential of pain is more exciting than inflicting pain or hurting someone. I'm like Diet Dom...All the fun but half the calories.

My first ‘spankee’ was a young lady I met in church (yes, that’s correct) and wanted me to spank her.
It felt strange and weird and I never got anything out of it.
Years later I have found that women still like to be spanked, and I’m a bit more willing.
I have not yet used whips and other devices for flogging, nor do I want to inflict pain, but there is a tinge of excitement cause by the rush of adrenaline which acts as a natural high stimulus.
I imagine the rush is the same for the ladies.
