flogging
What does flogging mean?
Impact play with a flogger, a handle with multiple falls (tails) of leather, suede or other material. The many tails spread the force, so a skilled top can run the whole spectrum from a soft, sensual rhythm to a heavy thud. The pattern of swing matters; good floggers practise like it's choreography. The tool itself is also just called a flogger.
"She warmed up with light flogging across the shoulders before anything harder."
Origin
From 'flog,' to beat; the multi-tailed flogger is a staple of the leather/BDSM toolkit.
