Direct answer
What is sensual flogging?
Sensual flogging is consensual impact play that uses rhythm, controlled technique, sensation and communication to create an experience between the people involved.
The focus is not simply intensity. It is what the people involved can safely create together.
The philosophy
Trust. Rhythm. Care.
Rhythm
Good flogging is more than force. Rhythm, warm-up, consistency, anticipation and controlled changes in sensation shape the experience.
Care
The responsibility continues after the flogger is put down. Aftercare, checking in and respecting the receiver’s needs are part of the experience.
The person in front of you is not a target. They are a person who has chosen to trust you. Treat them accordingly.
