paddling

Paddling refers to the act of striking another person's body with a flat and usually narrow piece of wood or plastic, commonly referred to as a paddle. This activity is practiced within certain BDSM communities and is typically performed consensually as a form of erotic impact play. The intensity of the sensation can vary depending on factors such as the type of material used in constructing the paddle, its size and thickness, and the speed at which it strikes the targeted area. Paddling may also be incorporated into roleplay scenarios or rituals that enhance the power dynamics between the dominant and submissive partners involved.
