Scratching

All about the scratch

For lovers of sensation play

A little bit of scratching is extremely common during sex, be it as a way to heighten sexual tension or an unconscious reaction to extreme pleasure. A lot of people find it extremely erotic, and some have a remarkably strong reaction to the right kind of scratching in just the right spot! As with all things - especially sensation play and anything involving potential pain - it's important to check in with your partner rather than risk doing something they dislike.

For some people, scratching forms a part of BDSM and kink. There are a few relatively common toys designed to assist or enhance the feeling, like the pinwheel or the vampire glove. If you think you might be interested, however, it's a good idea to start with fingernails and work up. You might be surprised by how intense the sensation can be without any external assistance at all.

How do I scratch safely?

Make sure what you’re using to scratch with are clean, be it your nails, wartenberg wheel or other spiked implement. Most areas are safe to scratch, avoid obviously delicate areas such as the eyes and you might want to not play on skin that can’t be covered with clothing as the scratches could be difficult to explain away.

Check in with the sub that they are okay with what you’re doing, scratching can be pretty intense. Afterwards tend to any scratches left on their body. You may need to apply antiseptic cream and/or plasters to wounds that are deep or keep bleeding.

Scratching with fingernails in nice, what else can be used?

There are many levels of scratchy implements. From a stiff brush or a scouring pad up to wartenberg wheels and knives. There are spikey paddles and gloves and you can get rings that have spikes on them made for sensation play. Always try them on yourself first and remember, that scratching and cutting are very close, so be careful not to cut too deeply.

I’m a sub but I enjoy scratching, is that okay?

Of course! We’re all different and some people have a primal edge, enjoying scratching and maybe biting back. As long as who you are playing with consents, then scratch away.

How do you combine spanking and scratching?

Scratching is fun over already reddened flesh. So after a spanking, scraping nails over the impact area can be very effective. You can use wartenberg wheels and other spikey implements on pre-reddened skin too. It is best to do the spanking first, then the scratching. Because once the skin is broken, blood escapes and hitting that will spread it around. You don’t want it to get absorbed into porous implements either.

    You wake up in a dimly lit room with your arms bound behind your back and legs pried open with ropes.. Your vision, still foggy from the , began taking in your surroundings. A dilapidated basement with water damaged ceilings and exposed insulations in places where the drywall has rotted away. The hard concrete floor is grey and cracked around the edges. White drag marks and darkened stains spread unevenly across its surface, punctuated by a single drain at the center. Above it, a lonely old light bulb hangs from an exposed wire buzzes quietly as it casts its yellow light on your surroundings. Before you stand an old dressing mirror. Through its reflections, you can see a dimly lit wire frame bed stashed in a corner of the room and some wooden boxes laying haphazardly on the floor.. You stare at your own reflection.. A pitiful looking girl with towel-gaged mouth and tightly bounds limbs looks back at you with tears in her eyes. A sense of dredd rises from deep within you.. a primal instinctive .. you need to get out NOW! Your eyes darted frantically around you as your fingers shakily searches for anything to grab hold of, making faint scratching sounds against the wooden pole it is tied to..

    Then.. you heard it..

    A faint *sigh floated from the shadows behind you.. and the rusty bed creaked slowly. Your breath catches in your chest, and you watch in horror as a dark shadow slowly sat up from his place of slumber. Your body is frozen as some primal instincts took hold, cutting off all control. You watch as the shadow slowly approaches, stepping into the light. Yet your petrified phyche couldn't register any details. The only thing your mind can focus on were its cold, snake-like eyes... The figure knelt down behind you, and you feel icy fingers slowly crept past your waist as they snaked towards your bound breasts.. digging and dragging, inch by inch, it violated your flesh and sends shivers down your spine.. there is no escape.. You feel a hot breath on your neck and the whispers of a voice dripping with venom.. "You are mine now.."

    Similar to Scratching

    Fans of sensation play with a bit of a bite will want to look into vampire gloves. Usually made of leather, these gloves take their name from the dozens of pinpricks to be found in the palm - perfect for stroking, scratching and spanking a willing submissive who enjoys a little surprise. Be careful, though! While these gloves can be used to enhance all manner of interesting sensations, they are often genuinely sharp - so it's important to try out what you plan to do on yourself first, to make sure you know just how hard it's safe to go with them.
    Biting frequently forms a part of kink play and BDSM games. For some people, it's an easy way to cause controlled pain to someone who is not necessarily physically weaker than they are; for others it's a possessive and almost primal act. Whatever appeals to you about the act of biting (or the idea of being bitten), it's important not to break the skin; if blood play is your thing there are safe ways to do it, but biting someone hard enough that they bleed is always unhygienic and never a good plan.
    Pain and sensation come in many forms, and not all of them require strength or finesse. Much like biting, it can be surprisingly easy to control and inflict pain on a willing victim simply by pinching them - particularly if you choose your target areas wisely! This is a particularly useful trick for dominants who are physically not as strong as their submissive partners. It's not a type of pain that everyone enjoys, but for those who like it it's a great way to subtly work a little bit of a kinky dynamic into the everyday without drawing too much attention to yourself or needing any special implements and equipment.
