It’s funny how subs who don’t mind being whipped, shocked, clamped, and even pierced will draw the line at having their faces slapped.

Face-slapping is where BDSM comes uncomfortably close to domestic violence, so it’s no wonder it provokes some pretty strong emotions, not to mention that it’s your sub’s face we’re talking about, a rather sensitive area. Still, a well-timed, light slap on the face can have its satisfying place in D/s play, and it’s least of all about physical violence.

I’m talking about those playful little slaps I give her when I push her down bare-breasted on her knees in front of my raging hard-on. My other hand tangles in her hair and tilts her face up, making sure she gets a good look at what’s in the store.

All I give her are teasing, light slaps with an open palm, calculated to bring the heat to her cheeks and tears of rage in her eyes. Her nipples spring to attention as she shudders in masochistic arousal, and then I slap her with my cock, too, rubbing him against her hot face, smearing my lubricant over her lips like obscene lip-gloss. It’s all about getting her to break and give in to her own desire, about mixing outrage and humiliation. It’s not for everyone, of course, and the directness and effrontery of a slap in the face can sometimes bring out a surprisingly strong reaction in the most subservient submissive.

Still, light face-slaps can add amazing zest to your role-playing. The thing about it is that it’s emotional dynamite, though. Make very sure you know how your sub feels about it before attempting it.
