Erotic spanking is the act of
spanking another person for the
sexual arousal or gratification of either or both parties. Activities range from a spontaneous smack on bare buttocks during a sexual activity, to occasional
sexual roleplay, such as
ageplay, to
domestic discipline and may involve the use of a hand or the use of a variety of spanking implements, such as a
spanking paddle or cane. Erotic spankings are commonly combined with other forms of sexual
foreplay. The most common type of erotic spanking is administered on the bare
buttocks, but can also be combined with
bondage, in order to heighten sexual arousal and feelings of helplessness.
