General
impact play
What does impact play mean?
The umbrella for everything that involves hitting. Bare hand, paddle, flogger, crop, cane, riding whip, the toolkit is broad and so is the intensity, from a warm-up spanking to serious heavy play. Thuddy (deep, dull) versus stingy (sharp, surface) is the language people use to describe the sensation. The bottom takes the strikes; aftercare usually follows.
"He's into impact play but only thuddy stuff, a flogger over a cane any day."
Origin
Descriptive BDSM term covering all forms of striking play.
