When it comes to striking a lover, this should only be employed during sex and with the consent of both individuals involved. Not everyone enjoys being slapped or struck, so never engage in this unless you have discussed it beforehand. If, however, both of you are interested in adding in striking during sexual intercourse, the Kama Sutra lays out the rules for doing so.
First, the places that you are allowed to strike your partner are:
- The shoulders
- The head
- The back
- The sides
- In between their breasts
- The Jaghana
You may then strike them in four different ways:
- With the back of your hand
- With the fingers sprawled out
- With an open hand
- With a fist
It is during being struck that a lover will make various sounds, as she may be in pain and so she will cry out. Any blows that one lover delivers should always be reciprocated by the other. This is never a one-sided activity, and each action should be mirrored in order to highlight the pleasures that are being felt. It is also important that you strike in different ways, along with different spots on the body. For example, if striking with a fist, this should only be done along the back as it is sturdier and should never be done to the head. Striking should never be done in excess and is not done out of anger but instead out of pure pleasure.
