It’s the pinkening, I think, that appeals to me. The blush of his blood rushing to the surface of his cheek, momentarily warming the space between his beard stubble and my open, now-caressing palm.
Or maybe it’s the chkch noise — the more-than-a-tap but not-quite-a-smack sound of closed-fingered curved-palm contact — that appeals to me the most. Skin touching skin, hand to face, with an almost-crack, the sound warm and inviting to my ear.
Perhaps it is the gasp-moan he breathes in response to the impact, his vocalizations low and growling.
Or it could be that when the sting causes his nerve endings in his face to go on alert, certain other parts of him are woken – straining toward my hands for equal treatment, surging hard and heavy and wanting to feel that nettling smack – as well.
Do I slap his face?
‘Slap’ is such an overly-simplistic term, rude and gruff and laden with negative connotations.
What I do is not any of those things.
It is firmness of touch and lightness of spirit and Pay attention! and Good boy and an unbruising mark of pink heat and ownership.
It is sensual.
Sumptuous.
Sexy.
It is not a wounding.
It is a laying on of hands.
And the only hands that will ever touch him so…

Thanks again for such a lovely account. Le sigh. I wish i could paint a picture with words the way you do!
That’s a lovely compliment, thank you! 🙂
Well written and said !
Thanks. 🙂
‘It is firmness of touch and lightness of spirit and Pay attention! and Good boy and an unbruising mark of pink heat and ownership.’ This line and everything that follows after it, are so beautiful. I love your thoughts on face slapping x
Thank you.

I love this. You make it sound so intimate and beautiful

It is, for us. It is not about pain or humiliation or meanness. Like spanking, it is (for us) a playful, loving, intimate act.
This is brilliant – I love it and it helps me to understand why my man may like to slap my face – I think he would certainly agree with ownership – and the gasp I make in response pleases him too
I never strike his face hard enough to mark — only enough to cause a momentary pinkening. It’s not a “go-to” activity for us, just something we do once in a while. But when we do it, the way we do it… It magnifies an intimate moment.
I think you’ve summed this up perfectly. Slapping a face seems so violent but this isn’t about violence, this is about firing those nerve endingsand heightening our emotions.
Yes, exactly! I’m so glad that point came across in the reading. 🙂
