Cracking the Whip 

Whips are used in a BDSM roleplaying scene by a dominant to inflict pleasurable pain.  Also used as a tool for a sensory experience when gently dragged across erogenous zones.  And used to point at things to tell a submissive what to do.

We are sensory beings and enjoy these senses being activated especially during sex.

One of the terms that is used endearingly between BDSM enthusiasts when they would like to go for a whipping session is “Lets go and do a little bit of slap and tickle!”

Who Gets to be In Control? 

The first thing you will need to do is work out who is the dominant and who is the submissive in a BDSM relationship.

To tell who is who,  let’s clarify what these terms mean.

Dominant

A dominant or a dom is the partner in a BDSM scene.   They take active or controlling role over the submissive and decides what happens in the roleplaying scene.

The dom follows the submissive’s rules set out before the scene and practices risk aware consensual kink.

Submissive

A submissive or a sub is the partner in a BDSM scene who willingly gives up some or all control to a dominant partner.  Submissive follows what the dominant decides and practices risk aware consensual kink.

When Are People Dominants And Submissives?

This type of partnership is often referred to in the BDSM community as a dominant/submissive or D/s.

There are varying degrees of D/s relationships.  Some people are only dominants or submissives during certain events like at  BDSM parties, clubs and dungeons.  Or during certain times like when having sex or engaging in a roleplaying scene.

Some people also switch between roles.

What Gender Is More Likely To Be A Dominant Or A Submissive?

In the 80’s, research on heterosexual couples showed that during sex and roleplaying scenes about 75% of men are the dominants and 25% of women are the dominants.  And 75% of women are the submissives and 25% of men are the submissives.

Other Types Of Roles In A BDSM Scene

Some live as a full time submissive who relinquish control to their dominant in all aspects of their life.  They are commonly known as a slave or a cuckold.

Slave

A slave is a person who submits control of a large percentage of his or her day-to-day life to a dominant.  They may submit within a formal set of rules and rituals set out by the dominant.

Cuckold

A cuckold is a husband, boyfriend or lover who has a partner who cheats on him.  They may encourage his partner to be an adultress.  A cuckold may sexually enjoy being humiliated, degraded and controlled like a slave by his partner.

Master

The master is the male dominant partner of a slave.

Mistress

This is the female dominant partner of a slave.

Top

In a gay relationship, the dominant is often referred to as the top.

Bottom

A submissive is often referred to as the bottom in a gay relationship.

Why Would Anybody Want To Be Submissive?

It is often said that people who have a lot of responsibility in their career and/or day to day lives often reverse their roles in the bedroom to become more submissive.

These people may crave someone to make all the decisions for them which can be stress relieving.

With the ever increasing politically correct stance of equality for women, how does this play in relationships?  To have a wife that is career orientated, while the stay at home husband looks after the kids can sometimes create difficulties.

Roles may switch in the bedroom. But it is up to each individual couple as to whose role is what.

Agreement Between A Dominant And Submissive

A dominant and submissive relationship is like a contract It must be agreed before hand how much or how little ‘slapping and tickling’ is to take place.

There must be one or more safe words for when the submissive wants something to stop.

AND like all contracts they are not to be broken which helps the roleplaying scene remain safe and enjoyable. If the contract is broken the trust between the parties will no longer be there.

Whips Are Different To Crops

Just to be clear whips are different to crops, clappers, canes and other punishment devices.  But they serve to attain the same purpose, a sensory explosion on an area of the body for taunting, teasing and punishment.

A whip can tickle, create fear, cause an explosion of sound, sting, slap, thud and more when used in the correct hands.

Different Types Of Whips

There are different types of whips with different purposes.  Here is a list of the 11 different types of whips.   Please note, some of these whips are not used for people in BDSM, kink and fetish scenes.

Stockmans Whip

Often called a bull whip.  This is a long leather whip often over 1.6 metres long that has a ‘cracker’ on the end.

These whips, when used correctly, will flip back and make a massive crack. They can reach up to 3 times the speed of sound.  This whip is to be used with care and is a theatrical accessory in BDSM.

It is not to be used as it will break skin and cause serious damage.
