If you love adding a bit of intense impact play to your kinky sessions and want give your hand a break from delivering those stingy spanks, then adding a BDSM whip to your repertoire is a great option! Using a BDSM whip instead will also provide a more intense sting and let you put some more power in your lash.

Depending on the size and design of your chosen BDSM whip, you’re gonna be able to create both super gentle tickler-like sensations by dragging the tail or falls across some sensitive skin as part of sensation play OR make your partner’s skin burn and tingle from super intense (always consensual) lashings. The world is your oyster when you’re using a sex whip!

Kinkiness exists on a continuum and can be practiced at any intensity level. No matter where you are in your kinky journey, a BDSM whip is a great way to expand your horizon when it comes to BDSM and impact play. It’s a great tool to involve all kinds of kinky practices! It can elevate any (appropriate) sexual situation and doesn’t require any additional gadgets or prep.

Intense impact play always has the potential to be painful… in all the right ways. If you and your partner are practicing open communication at all times and are aware of each other’s limits, using a BDSM whip to explore your boundaries when it comes to that good kind of pain can feel really great!

You’re going to want to make sure that you’re not overwhelming yourself with a BDSM whip that’s way to big for you. This doesn’t really have that much to do with how big it looks but moreso the effect. A bigger and longer sex whip will allow you to take bigger swings that pack a lot more power with the help of basic aerodynamics! A smaller and short whip may give you more control over where your lashing land but there’s a clear limit to how much force you can comfortably put in those swings.

The shape of the tail or falls will also have a lot to say here. Slimmer and longer ends will more often create a stingy sensation where broader and flatter falls on a flogger, for example, feel much more thuddy and relatively comfortable.

The material of your BDSM whip will also have a lot to do with the sensation it creates when you’re going to town on your partner with it. Leather is a staple in the world of BDSM toys for a reason! It can feel soft and comfortable but the right shape and size will be able to send a sharp pain to your skin.

Silicone also varies like this, although sometimes silicone can feel a bit “grippy” and not as sleek. Although silicone BDSM whips are super easy to clean and maintain.

Metal is definitely a material that is more suitable for advanced kinksters when it comes to intense impact play. A metal BDSM whip can pack a scary punch. Always exercise caution when using metal whip and floggers. But metal is also a great material for not-so-advanced kinksters to use for less intense play, since the metal is great for sensation play. In this way metal ticklers can be great choice for all levels of experience.

Even though BDSM whip is a term that can be used interchangeably to refer to sex whips, floggers, riding crops, or other impact toys, it is necessary to distinguish between the different styles of impact toys when you’re considering which one to purchase.

Because of the basic differences between floggers and whips that I’ve expanded upon in the sections above, there’s a clear recommendation. Usually it will be safer for beginner to intermediate users to start ourt with floggers made of leather or flexible silicone. Generally, the styles of toys that generate more “thuddy” sensations are great for this level.

Experienced and advanced kinksters are more suited for using larger and longer whips and riding crops, since the stingy sensations can be overwhelmingly sharp. Experimentation with these sensations requires a great deal of experience in navigating sensitive spaces of communication.
