BE SAFE:

If you score a green light, hold your horses?and your horsewhip. There’s just a bit more communicating to do first. Sprott advises establishing the scope of activity your partner is up for, deciding who will start out in the dominant role, and then selecting a “safe word” that will halt the action. Simply saying “no” or “stop” or “that hurts” isn’t recommended, since they can be part of the fantasy. Opt for something with zero sexual relevance?such as a place or a type of food. “Sushi” would be a pretty effective buzz-kill, for instance. Now you’re ready.

From there, well, things get a bit tougher and more serious and, well, you’ll have to head on over there in order to get any of those tips. Needless to say, if you don’t know the first thing about spanking, well, then you certainly will by the time that is over. And hey, give it a shot in the bedroom and see if it’s your thing.
