Impact is Like a Symphony

A great impact scene is almost transcendent. It leaves my whole body humming. My body feels like it’s floating, and my brain just feels warm and soft and fuzzy. I curl into my Dominant’s arms, almost unable to form words. It is connection and trust, lightness and freedom. But it’s hard to overstate how hard it is to reach this place. In my years of doing impact, I’ve only felt it a handful of times. There’s a balance required to get there that most scenes just don’t find.

The best impact scenes are like a symphony. They allow you to feel the intensity by changing it. Symphonies are sometimes thundering drums and crashing cymbals. But they rarely start or finish that way. They take you to the edge and then pull you back. Like symphonies, impact scenes cannot be a push to red. A push to red destroys trust. It is where submission ends. When I’m asking myself if it’s time for yellow, I am already thinking about when to withdraw consent. My mind grows alert because I need to make a decision. Yellow is a good communication tool. But if I stay there too long, it pulls me out of a submissive headspace. At the same time, I do want to suffer. Suffering creates an opportunity for me to serve. I need the intensity to help me let go and give myself. I need the varying intensities to help me reach the right space, then stay there.

Symphonies have a rhythm and a flow that moves you through, but they also stay in one place long enough for you to really feel it. The beginning sets the theme and helps you orient yourself to the piece. Then each movement takes on a purpose or feel that tells the story. There’s some consistency within each. When I’m starting to sink into subspace, I need that consistency if I’m going to let go. I need a consistent pace and strength and implement, with gradually increasing intensity. Sometimes during a sadistic spanking, Dominants vary these things to keep me mentally present. But if they want that transcendent experience, I need time with each pace and strength and implement to be able to melt into it. I need time to transform the pain into waves pulsing through me. That’s where I find my calm. That’s where I let go.

But this transcendent experience doesn’t happen easily. When you are creating a symphony with another person, it takes a while to learn their flow and style. Impact requires one person to translate a person’s bodily response into what they are thinking and feeling, in a space where everyone reacts differently. I’m sure there are some tops who can do this during pick-up play. But for me, I can’t imagine reaching that depth without a deep bond making it possible. I need the foundation of responsibility and trust before I can let go completely. I need it before I can allow them to take me to the place where I can’t form words, where I am a softly whimpering puddle of girl.

A symphony is dramatic and intense, but it’s also soft and slow. It batters you with percussion and brass, then soothes you with strings. It creates a feeling, then allows you to soak it in. The best impact scenes are a work of art, created by two people who share a secret language. They anticipate one another’s moves, and they trust each other implicitly. I enjoy impact without this connection. But with it, it’s like entering another world.

    Quoting MissLadywood:
    Having that connection really does make all the difference. A wonderful piece as always
Thank you, Woody ... I do hope you're doing well.

I love how it stresses the precision that exists between D/s in creating "music" together.

I miss that physical interaction. Be it with just simple touch, spanking or using some toy. The main thing is they intimacy of such engagement.

I love this piece because it's so true. Impact play is like a symphony when done correctly between two adults who trust each other.
