Neck Snap: Beware!

Beware of neck snap.

Subs may experience this when struck with any type of strong blow on the back or buttocks, reflexively snap his or her can neck back. It is literally a form of whiplash.

This, in and of itself, can be a source of unintentional and highly undesirable injury, particularly if the submissive, has an already-weakened neck due to something like an old injury or arthritis.

Dominants need to stay alert for this.

Among other things, the sub may be too zoned out to notice or care about this during the scene itself, but it could reveal itself with awful effects the morning after.

Please remember to inquire about joint weakness during your pre-scene negotiations.

Perhaps, specifically ask about neck conditions.

Stay alert for neck snap when spanking or whipping the submissive. If you notice it, do what you can to reduce or eliminate it.

Possible methods for dealing with neck snap includes ordering the submissive to keep their neck still, having them lace their fingers behind their neck, and placing one of your own hands on the back of their neck or head while you spank or whip with the other.

Experimentation and feedback will tell you which works more effectively.
