In BDSM/Fetish/Spanking videos do they actually beat the performer?

They may be using a variation on literal slap sticks:

I can attest from a, uh, friend’s experience, that a spanking can make a hell of a noise and produce visible marks and still not actually be all that painful. I mean, yes, there will be pain, but it’s not devastating or unbearable pain.

I mean, that’s what I heard.

Possible, but like I said, the implements are the kinds typically made of leather, and appear far too flexible to be disguised slapsticks. For example, a coiled bullwhip.

I believe AK84 is from Pakistan.

I can’t speak for the mass-produced pornography, but within the scene, a good Dominant knows how to hurt their sub without injuring them, and that’s a very critical difference.

Yes. If you cause injury, the scene will be over too soon.

There is nothing worse than faking pain in porn. I have a fetish for getting trampled by women. Meaning I like them to walk on my chest and stomach. So of course I enjoy trample porn. It’s obvious though that alot of them are faking on both the receiving and giving ends. No erections and the video will have a 250lb guy wincing and screaming about a 90lb girl stepping on his chest. It’s so annoying and fake I can’t even watch it.
