BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism. BDSM encompasses a variety of practices including power exchange, role playing, bondage, and Dominant/submissive play. You may choose to include just one element of BDSM into your play or combine multiple dynamics such as engaging in both bondage and discipline at the same time.

Impact play is when one partner (the bottom or submissive) is struck by another (the top or Dominant partner) for the sexual gratification of either one or both partners.
Typical types of impact play include:
Rough Body Play (punching, open-hand slapping, etc.)
Spanking (using your hand or something wide like a paddle for a "thud" sensation)
Caning (using something narrow like a cane or riding crop for a "stinging" sensation)
Flogging (using a whip with many falls, such as a cat-o-nine, galley-whip, or flogger)
Single Tail (using a whip with a single tail, such as a snake whip or bull whip) 

Communication and consent are essential to incorporating any type of BDSM play into your sexual routine.

Safe, Sane, and Consensual (SSC) is a popular mantra across the BDSM community and vital to enjoying any kinky practices you engage in. There are variations on the SSC guidelines for different areas of kink, but in general, any potential new sexual situations you discuss with your partner should meet these criteria:
Safe means that the risks are known and minimized, and that those new to BDSM are informed enough to reasonably recognize risk.
Sane means that all parties involved are of sound, sober mind and able to give informed consent. Both partners must be able to maintain self-control and not betray their partner's trust.
Consensual means all individuals have given informed, uncoerced, enthusiastic, and revocable permission for something to happen. Revocable means that consent can be withdrawn at any time during the activity, by either party.
It is important to realize that it is not solely the responsibility of the "bottom" or the "top" to give consent and establish limits. Communicating before, during, and after the activity is essential to ensure safety and security for both partners, and agreeing on a safeword or a code such as Red/Yellow/Green can help you adjust the scenario as needed and relieve some of the pressure or concerns you may feel.
