The basic rules for flogging, paddling, cropping, and whipping are fairly easy to remember. The best target spots are the upper back, the pecs, the upper arms, the lower buttocks and the thighs--in essence, the meaty parts where the muscle acts as a cushion against the bone and organs. You don't strike joints. You don't strike the neck, the spine or the lower back or upper buttocks (remember that the spine extends down to the upper buttocks), and you don't strike above the neck with anything other than an open hand directed at the cheek (and don't slap if you're wearing rings on your hand). The belly is an iffy zone, since there are organs right below the surface--strike lightly (although some subs who tighten their abdominal muscles love to be punched or kicked in the gut). The cock and balls can be slapped, paddled or cropped, but if you want to flog, use a special cock flogger. Whipping is probably too much for the cock and balls. If using a flogger or whip, be careful about wrap-around--you don't want the end of the cord wrapping around and hitting a body part you're not targeting. Warm up with some light treatment before gradually ramping up to something rougher--progressively harsher treatment allows the sub to adjust to slowly handle more pain. And the dom ought to practice his or her aim with the tools. In particular, whips are very advanced--a novice should learn the ropes with paddles and floggers first before thinking about trying a whip.

Any form of impact play can raise welts, and cause cuts and bruises. Pay attention for that--if you or your sub is new to impact play, you probably want to stop if that happens. Be prepared to dress a cut if need be. Any time you cut someone, there is some possibility of scarring, so if the sub has specified 'no permanent marks', it's best to stop impact play before you start seeing welts. (Some experienced doms may object that this is too cautious, but this is a faq for newbies, who should definitely be extra-careful until they have some experience and training under their belts, and start to get a sense for how impact play works.) Some people have very sensitive skin that welts and bruises easily, while others welt or bruise only with greater force; until you know which is true for your sub, play more carefully.

After you've finished, clean your impact tools to prevent transmission of skin and blood diseases to the next person you use the tool on. Any time you draw even a little bit of blood, the tool needs to be seriously cleaned, and it is a prudent precaution to at least wipe down the tool after any session, even if blood is not drawn.
This is very useful Sebastian. I have been looking for someone to guest blog on my BDSM and Bondage site if you're interested in sharing more on this topic. Please send me a message if you are!
