Ice and Spanking

[DrHappy]

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with mixing ice and flogging/spanking in a single session? Ice play first, and then flogging/spanking? Or flogging/spanking followed by ice play? Or is going back and forth an effective option?

On one hand, it would seem like using ice play as a lead up to flogging and spanking might be a natural progression of intensity. However, is it a bad idea to spank skin that has recently been chilled (maybe dangerous)? Is it best to only spank body parts that haven’t been iced?

On the other hand, cool ice on recently spanked skin could be interesting. Maybe it could be stimulating in some ways and soothing in others. However, would applying ice to recently spanked skin interfere with the rush of good feelings associated with caressing recently spanked skin?

An obvious answer would be “try it and see.” However, opportunities for experimenting are not as plentiful as I’d like (kids, careers, etc…), so I’d like to get the most out of our opportunities.

Thank you for any suggestions or experiences that you can share.

Do you know how your intended "victim" usually reacts to cold?
Reactions to things like cold shower after hot shower or after sauna, could be a lead to what will work best for you.

As you say ice can soothe on hot skin, but it can be used for the shock value too.

It's difficult when you don't have much time and want it to work like you want it to, but try to be prepared for some unintended comedy, because that can happen where ice is involved.

Personally, I don't think that ice first would be interesting. It would give me a slight shock but if it deadened the skin, it would reduce the fun pain sensations, making it pointless, to be honest. Ice on warm skin would be much more enjoyable for me, but what I really like is ice on a different part of the body so there are hot and cold sensations both at the same time.

But it's just my view

Thanks for the comments. I may try using separate areas for ice and for spanking. Maybe I’ll find certain areas that response best to cold. Regardless, I’ll be prepared for comedy.

For what it's worth, I have found ice applied directly to a freshly spanked bottom works well...and sometimes, yes, unintended results.

I'm a bit confused on this. When you say spanking and ice play, are you talking about applyiing ice cubes to the ass? Do you have some bulk method to do this, or are you going to use individual ice cubes with your hand?

I'd say that might be slightly counter productive in that it will probably melt more than deaden the skin. Sure, it will be cold and you can use the dripping as part of the sensation, but I think you'll have more cold water than ice cubes and I don't think that will be cold enough to deaden the skin.

It will make the skin wet and that can sometimes enhance a spanking. Sure, it might lessen the sensation some, but unless you spend a long time with those ice cubes, you won't really deaden the skin that much.

Now, if you live in a cold area where you have some snow and you have your submissive go out and sit in a snow drift, that might be more likely to deaden the skin and quicker. Or maybe if you have the submissive wear a diaper with ice cubes inside, that might get closer to deadening the skin. But, using your hands, just your body heat and the heat of the submissive's the skin is going to melt the ice before it can really do much more than be cold.

Now, if you are talking about nipples or clit or some other smaller area, you can maybe deaden the sensations on those more localized areas. The area is smaller, so it would take less ice and even less time to get this accomplished, if that is your intention. Then, any flogging or whatever to those areas might not be felt as much. But, sometimes it can be felt, just in a different way. Cold skin has its own way of feeling pain. It isn't as noticeable as normal skin, but it can have its own sensations.

Personally, if I were going to use ice on the ass, I'd do it after a spanking. In fact, I don't think I'd use ice at all on any area where I were to flog or spank after. Ice has its own sensation and shock value just like spanking does. If I were going to combine the two, I'd probably think of ice on the clit or nipples and alternate spanking the ass.

Or, maybe some kind of diaper with the back cut out for the spanking and the front of the diaper with strategically placed ice cubes? The two very different sensations can often confuse the mind of a submissive and give them compound sensations to deal with. This can often be very effective and ultimately pleasurable for both participants.

I'd definitely go for ice second. Stingy impact play makes my skin burn and so the ice would cool that - or else make it more sensitive. Why not try alternating rounds of each? Best of both worlds?

Good to know! Thanks!

I’ll be applying ice to her ass, nipples, pussy, anywhere. I can also use ice in places that shouldn’t be spanked, such as the back of the knees, on the inside of the thighs, neck, etc… I wasn’t thinking about a bulk method… just slowly dragging individual cubes along strategic places and lingering. For my intended scenario, I’ll have her restrained, and I’ll use a Wartenberg wheel, ice, spanking, flogging, etc… Her nipples, pussy, and anus might be sensitive to ice, but they aren’t available for heavy spanking. These areas might be fun for experimentation with alternate chilling with ice and warming with my mouth.

I don’t want to deaden any areas intended for spanking. Now that I think of it, I’m beginning to suspect that the most intense spanking areas may not be very sensitive to cold.

My two concerns about spanking/clamping after icing are: 1) Dampening the pleasure, and 2) not being aware of tissue damage because of numbness.

Thanks for the suggestion.

One of my most fun scenes, at a club I was asked to flog a lady, she informed me she liked a hard flogging.
After flogging her for a good half hour or so, I applied ice to her rather red cheeks.
The feedback was that it was well appreciated

That's two testimonials that endorse ice after spanking or flogging. Thanks!

If you and your spankee are into it, another post-spanking sensation I can highly recommend is wax. I know it sounds super painful, but after the initial splash of heat it feels very soothing. Then some ice! You could then do it again (I'd include more spanking ) but in a different order for some mind-fuckery too if that floats your boat.

We haven't gone that route yet, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.
