CP

CP (Corporal Punishment) is an English term used within BDSM to refer to the administration of physical punishment, usually in the form of controlled pain stimuli such as hitting, flogging, or spanking the body. The goal is not to inflict random pain, but to use physical correction within an agreed power dynamic.
