What brings people to this page
Spanking is a specific, common interest that sits apart from the wider BDSM scene for plenty of people — some want it as a stand-alone interest rather than part of a broader kink dynamic, whether that's giving, receiving, or both. It's one of the interests people are least likely to put plainly on a general dating app, which is exactly why a dedicated space for it works better.
Who's active in this space
Profiles here include people looking to give, people looking to receive, switches happy with either, and couples where it's already part of their relationship looking to meet others with the same interest. As with every interest on this platform, what's wanted and what isn't gets agreed before anything happens, not assumed.
Where it overlaps with BDSM
Spanking is often part of a wider BDSM dynamic, but plenty of people here are specifically into spanking on its own, separate from the rest of the kink spectrum — both are represented, and it's fine to be interested in one without the other.
