A flogger is a multi-tailed implement, typically crafted from leather or suede, used for sensation play. The impact from its tails, or falls, can range from a light tickle to a more intense thud, dependent on material, weight, length, and application. Employing this tool involves deliberate, controlled swings targeting specific areas of the body, often avoiding sensitive regions like the face, kidneys, and spine.
The controlled application of a flogger can provide a spectrum of sensory experiences, from relaxation and tingling to a stimulating sting. Historically, similar implements have been utilized in various cultures for purposes ranging from corporal discipline to ritualistic practices. Its use in contemporary contexts often centers on exploration of sensation, intimacy, and the establishment of boundaries and trust within a consensual dynamic.
