Erotic spanking is the practice of
spanking another for the sexual gratification of either or both parties. Erotic spanking is generally regarded as a form of
BDSM activity, although many spanking devotees do not regard it as such. Spanking can be carried out with the bare hands, a paddle, switch, cane or crop. It is often combined with
sexual roleplaying and
ageplay.
Those interested in giving or receiving erotic spankings are known as "spankos". Examples include the poet Algernon Swinburne and the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
