What are Beatdowns? Mistress Punishment & Physical Pain Information

Beatdowns (sometimes stylized as beat downs) are activities whereby a male submissive gets physically assaulted and hit by one or more female dominatrices. Common language usage will sometimes refer to the person that has received the beatdown as being ‘beaten up’, although the exact phrasing varies from country to country. The central component of beatdowns is the physical side whereby a slave is intentionally hurt. Beatdowns take on a variety of forms and can vary in length, extremity and localization.

Mistresses that provide beatdown scenarios will typically do so without planning their methods. Beatdowns are often ad-libbed by the perpetrator and vary greatly depending on the location and responses given by a slave. Most scenarios of beatdowns will not have a reactive physical component – that is to say that the slave will not try to hit his mistress back in response. That said, some degree of defense may be undertaken by the submissive with a certain level of instinct kicking in at various intervals.

Beatdowns can be whole-body experiences or localized to certain physical locations. Most common areas for beatdowns include the head, genital region and buttocks, although there really are no limits to where a beatdown can focus. Submissive individuals will typically find that a mistress repeats certain forms of beatdown over the course of a scenario, such as slapping the face or kicking the back. Dominatrices that practice beatdowns may also choose to incorporate tools into their sessions – standard fetish play items such as whips and chains are commonly used, whereas specialized equipment such as boxing gloves and baseball bats can also make an appearance.

Beatdowns can be sexually pleasurable for the receiver owing to the fact that an instinctive level of masculinity includes the ability to defend oneself and attack those that harm you. With an absence of this standard, men can find themselves sexually thrilled and excited by having a woman ‘in control’ of whatever they do. Beatdowns also utilize the common aspect of pain for pleasure – a concept that utilizes the release of chemicals in the body as a response to pain being felt as well as amplification of pleasure in and of itself.

Owing to the nature of beatdowns, it is important for slaves and mistresses to establish safe words in order to ensure the integrity of the scenario. While it is certainly possible for a submissive to endure a certain level of pain without any side-affects within a 24-hour window, it is often encouraged by BDSM and fetish groups to have beatdowns conducted slowly to begin with in order to maintain a level of comfort and understanding about what you are able to resist. Mistresses should also be well versed in understanding the limits of the human body and what forms of physical punishment are unlikely to result in permanent damage.
