Sensory Deprivation is the act of taking away someone’s senses, usually through blindfolds, gags, hoods, earplugs or noise cancelling headphones and restrictive bondage. People like this form of play ranging from light to extreme because it allows them to enter other states of consciousness that our minds try to avoid. It can be very intense both physically and psychologically, with some finding it meditative and calming while others feel it is too hard to endure for even a few moments at a time.

The Five Senses

There are many ways to cut off the five senses that can add to a feeling of utter helplessness and may return someone to their most simple state psychologically. When one is faced with nothing but their own true self, they must face whatever demons or angels lie inside. First of all there are blindfolds which cut off the sight. They range from eye masks for relaxing to sturdy leather affairs that lock around the face. There are also earplugs and noise cancelling headphones to cut out the sound. Many full-face hoods encompass padding around the ears to further block it out. Hoods also may have a gag component to take away the ability to speak and to taste.

Extreme Sensory Dep

Sensory Dep, the shortened version of the full term for this type of play, can get pretty extreme. The most extreme form is when people use inflatable full body rubber suits to bind them in place, in conjunction with a hood. This gives the body a feeling of floating and being in place while not touching anything. This can lead to what some may describe as a religious experience which will be remembered for a long time to come by any submissive or can take fragile submissives far beyond their breaking point. It should not surprise anyone that the enhanced interrogation techniques used in places like Gitmo relied heavily on extreme sensory deprivation, taken to a point far outside the realm of enjoyment or casual play.

Spanking is best known as the act of striking the ass with a firm hand. Why is it so alluring to smack the ass of another until it glows bright red and warms to the touch? In more extreme cases, a serious spanking can leave the ass of the target purple with bruises. Spanking fetishists who are very dedicated to the cause are also known as “spankos.” Purists stick to hand-spanking only, while others extend their love of spanking to include implements. There has been heated debated for decades about whether Caning and things of that nature should be included as spanking with an object or classified separately from hand-only spanking.

Where to Strike

When spanking, it’s important to know basic anatomy first. It’s best to strike mostly on the fleshy part of the ass, where there is enough cushion to absorb the impact and deliver a sting rather than an injury. A common bit of advice passed from experienced Doms to novices is “never hit high”, meaning one should always avoid strikes near the hips where the ass meets the back. Horror stories of injury and health issues almost always stem from kidney damage caused by an inexperienced Dom wannabee with poor aim and far too more confidence than they should have had. As a Dom you should never miss your target… ever, and if you did somehow due to an earthquake or other natural disaster you would still want to go low to hit the thighs instead. Between the thighs inches away from her pussy and asshole are especially tender sweet spots capable of delivering excruciating pain that disappears as suddenly as it arrives.

Spanking Positions

When you are getting ready to spank someone, you may wonder just how to do it. Many people prefer the traditional over-the-knee (OTK) spanking position where the spankee submits by leaning over the lap of the spanker while holding their ass high in the air for a spanking. This is a great position for some, particularly because it involves the act of submission and acceptance prior to the start of the spanking. For many, witnessing a submissive quietly giving herself up to assume the position is even more erotic than the act of spanking itself. However, it’s not an easy position to remain in for an extended period of time for anyone who is out of shape, elderly or infirm. Other noteworthy positions include having someone lean forward on table, which supplies much more support, or simply lying down on a bed or massage table which provides access for the Dom without stressing the knees or flexibility of the willing but unable submissive.

Spanking Vs. Being Spanked

Novices are surprised to learn that almost every experienced Dom has been spanked in their past. This is a crucial difference between real Doms and those who pretend to be Dominant as a way to obscure their lack of self-esteem, confidence and masculinity. A real Dom is secure enough in their skin to willingness experiment with certain submissive behaviors as a way to learn what the other side of the equation experiences. Figuring out exactly the proper amount of force to exert, knowing how many smacks are sufficient and understanding the limits of your submissive becomes far easier when you have already crawled a mile in their predicament. There is a joy to spanking that only becomes unlocked once one has been spanked as well.
