'''Impact | '''Impact play''' is a subset of sensation play, or [[pain play]], characterized by (repeated) striking of a person for the gratification of one or both parties.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_play</ref> Impact can be administered with solid implements such as limbs, paddles, and crops, or scourge-style implements such as floggers and whips. While issues with impact play are rarely fatal, severe and sometimes permanent injury can occur. *(how are we calculating health and legal risk?) (health: moderate, legal: low) | ||

==== | ==== Organ Injury: ==== | ||
Avoid striking or trampling the stomach. Impact recipient should engage their abdominal muscles when being struck in front to protect their organs. Never strike over the kidneys or low back. Kidney damage may cause hematuria (blood in the urine) or anuria (inability to urinate) which can result in death. | Avoid striking or trampling the stomach.

==== | ==== Infection: ==== | ||
The impact top should thoroughly wash their hands before a scene, and nitrile gloves are recommended. Implements should be cleaned between uses. This includes furniture the recipient may be touching, and tools used before and after the scene. Lack of cleanliness can result not only in skin infections, but can also lead to the transfer of diseases such as hepatitis. If you plan on breaking skin during the scene, sanitize the intended areas beforehand. If skin becomes broken, sanitize after and ensure the recipient does not sit on surfaces others have, or will, touch. Puppy pads or soft pants are a good way to prevent cross contamination while still keeping the recipient comfortable after the scene. | The impact top should thoroughly wash their hands before a scene, and nitrile gloves are recommended.
