Domspeak Forums Discussions Lobby CP and best positions?

Curious as to what people here have found to be the best/most effective bondage positions for impact play?

For me, best and simplest has been horizontal on a bondage bed or table type. Spreadeagled either faceup (good for CP on inner thighs combined with NT and CPT) or facedown it gives the Domme easy access and a good angle at which to wield a cane, paddle or strap while maintaining a comfortable posture

I've always found the classic St Andrew's cross awkward, forcing a Domme sometimes to to swing sidearm at a difficult angle.....especially if trying to target the ass or upper thighs. They are a fixture in almost every dungeon or playroom but I think them over rated.

A properly designed spanking bench can also work very well provided it offers appropriate attachment points and forces the sub into a position with his head and shoulders down and his ass up.

While it might seem strange, being relatively comfortable in the bondage is important to me while receiving CP. Otherwise I find discomfort or pain from the position can be distracting and break my focus on staying in the right headspace
