WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL RISKS IN IMPACT PLAY?

Just because the pain is consensual doesn’t mean the long-term harm is. Using excessive impact in the wrong areas can damage internal organs or leave unwanted visible marks. How safe an area is to take impact also depends on the medical conditions of the receiving person. Each impact toy also delivers a different sensation, some which can be better endured than others. Because of that, it’s important to warm up a session with low force relative to the person’s pain tolerance.

Proper warm-up before an impact scene is imperative. It allows both parties to enjoy the scene more, the bottom will be able to take more, and both to have a more enjoyable time. Watch their body language throughout, it will usually tell a pretty good tale of how they’re doing mentally. If they’re jumping at every light spank, they may need to be calmed down a bit in other ways before carrying on, such as cuddling, stroking the skin, talking to them.
