What is Corporal Punishment in BDSM

What does Corporal Punishment Mean?

If you find that pain is pleasure, then you’re in for a treat. Corporal punishment, or CP as it’s also known, is when physical pain is inflicted on one another. Now we’re not talking about the spanking your parents give you when you’ve done something terrible. Corporal punishment is often practised in the BDSM community and is sometimes misunderstood.

The most significant use of pain in BDSM is used for pleasure. Many subs and slaves enjoy the sensation of getting their bottom hit by a Whip or Paddle while others enjoy pain to other body parts. Behaviours such as Spanking, Bondage, and other fetishes are all some form of CP. While there is no blueprint for how people practice corporal punishment, there are many different ways to practice it.

We’ve partially discussed that some enjoy the sensation and receive sexual gratification from the pain, but what about those who don’t? In some instances, CP in the BDSM community is just used to regain control by the dominant player. Every d/s relationship has its own set of rules that all parties follow. If corporal punishment has been agreed upon in the relationship, the dominant player will use it to gain control and keep subs and slaves in line. If the submissive player misbehaves or shows any disrespect, CP can be enforced.

Those who aren’t familiar with BDSM practices or don’t necessarily agree with the kink may not understand why one would consent to such pain. Again, every d/s relationship is different, and each party discusses their limits and such before agreeing to anything. Some couples find that corporal punishment is a great way to fulfil their public humiliation fetish. It also can be used when training slaves.

As you’re reading, you can probably think of a dozen ways as to why corporal punishment may even fit into your lifestyle. It doesn’t always have to be about actual punishment. Nipple Clamps, Chastity Belts, and other items can be incorporated into CP as well. With anything, you have to apply what you learn to your current situation. If you and your partner want to try corporal punishment in the bedroom, you could start with some spanking. Turn it into a sexy roleplay and have your mate beg to have another orgasm or anything else you can think of. It’s always exciting to try something new.
