Whips and Floggers

In the sexual sub-culture of BDSM, "flagellation" involves striking the submissive partner with a whip or flogger and is a form of impact play. Whipping or flogging begins with soft blows, desensitizing the skin somewhat and triggering the body''s endorphin response to pain, similar to "runner''s high". The gradual increase in force heightens this response, often to a near-catatonic state in the bottom. Whipping or Flogging for erotic thrill is produced typically with implements such as floggers, whips, paddles, or canes. The whip or flogger used in this context consists of a handle with an number of attached thongs known as "falls". Falls are typically made of materials such as suede, leather, rubber, rope, or other or flexible materials. The length, number, and composition of the falls determines the sensation caused by the flogger. Floggers and whips are usually characterized by the sensation they cause.
