Spanking someone is great, being spanked is even greater than
that but I have found that nothing is better than spanking myself.
It's a practice that not many people I know enjoy the way I do,
maybe because they never have. If I am being honest, the proper pop of an
implement on my own skin is the perfect blend of control and submission. I
control the angle, the strength as well as the timing, thus giving it to myself
the way I like it. I know my own limits far better than anyone else, knowing
what will give me that ultimate goal: the balance between pain and pleasure.
Self spanking allows me to be my own master in a way, the control and release
on my own body gives a sense of independence that nothing has before.
The angle of spanking my own bottom was difficult to find, it
takes a lot of practice to find a way that works best. I lean forward, bringing
my arm back and pop, flicking the wrist to grab the momentum to give a perfect
sting. With practice I have been able to twist my body around to get the other
cheek. When self spanking, you are only spanking one cheek at a time, so in
order to create balance and symmetry, it is important to find a way to spank
both cheeks, and don't forget to count.
OTK items work best for me, they are smaller and easier
to control, the heavier they are the easier it is to flick your wrist. If it
doesn't sting or make a pop, it doesn't count, put more force behind it.
There are ways to use different size implements for
self spanking, for instance, I've used longer items for more of an upright
angle.
To achieve the upright angle, I don't bend over, I
simply twist my body around, holding the implement with my elbow up, and use
the same wrist motion to get the pop on my bottom. The benefit of using a
longer cane for this is that you can choke up on it, depending on the size of
your torso to make proper contact. This position is harder to achieve using the
arm you are less comfortable with. Longer implements are also good for the
Diaper position. 
Diaper Position is one that I am still practicing and adjusting
to, but practice frequently. To achieve this position, I lay on my back with
both of my legs up, using my non spanking hand to hug my legs to my chest. With
the other arm I take my desired implement, usually for me I like the Lightning
Stick as it is long and easy to grip, and smack it on my butt. There are two
different impacts you can't achieve with this: straight across to get both
cheeks or just aim for the cheek opposite of the hand your implement is in. I
like this position because you can get to a part of your bottom that you can't
from other angles. The sting is unreal as this part is more sensitive than
others.
For other parts of your body it is important to think about your
anatomy. Safety is very important in any kind of impact play so it is vital you
pay attention to where and how hard to hit yourself.
Tummy spanks are very erotic for me but you have a lot of organs
in there so be careful. I like short whips for this, the dragon tongue being a
favorite. It's all in the wrist here, you flick the whip against your skin to
create a sting. I can get some nice red marks from this and it's amazing. The
same goes for chest spanks. Be careful not to damage your body. Even light
weight items can provide a desirable sting and you are taking care of your body
first.
I hope this article answers all or many of your questions about
self spanking. Practice frequently, play with your angles and different
implements and have fun. Find what works best for you and what you like. As
long as you are playing safely and having fun, there is no wrong way to spank
yourself.
