Is there a physical reason why you enjoy being spanked (in a sexual context)?

Is there a physical reason why you enjoy being spanked (in a sexual context)?
I assumed that people enjoy spanking either because it increases bloodflow to the ass, or because (since the pain and pleasure regions of the brain are overlapping) the brain is interpreting pain as pleasure.

But in response to my other poll (please vote if you haven't): Do you ever engage in spanking for sexual arousal and/or sexual pleasure?

Someone said that being spanked causes vibrations to ripple to their clitoris.

I was wondering how common that is? When being spanked, do vibrations ripple to your genitals? Or is there another physical reason that you find pleasure in being spanked? Or is it all psychological?

If you don't enjoy being spanked, or have not tried it, choose the last option.

  • I have posted this story before. When I was 21 I was on a short trip with my girlfriend and we stayed in a motel in a resort area. The couple in the room next to us were being very vocal and loud during sex. You could tell the woman was being spanked and it certainly sounded like it was helping bring her to orgasm. My girlfriend was freaked out and I was annoyed that we had to hear that all night... LOL... That was my first exposure to this kind of thing... It killed the mood for my girlfriend totally... LOL

    If I were with a girlfriend and she wanted me to spank her to help with sexual stimulation I'd certainly be game. I'm not sure that I'd be interested in it myself though.

  • I haven't been spanked but I find it hot.

  • Spanking shows whose boss and also pain/sexual pleasure zones in the brain are adjacent from what I once read. Personally, I enjoy spanking my girl on her ass and her soles till both turn red..

  • All of the above and more.

  • I just like being dominated and punished by spanking for being the dirty girl that I am.

  • I’m very submissive in bed so I like it on a mental level. I don’t get anything from it physically.
