QUESTION: Which parts of the human body are safe to kick?

Q: Which parts of the human body are safe to kick? A play partner has requested to be kicked while he's down, but I'm afraid of causing damage.

Like other forms of impact play, kicking should be confined to areas of the body where there is a lot of muscle and/or fat between the skin and the bone: thighs, buttocks and upper back, avoiding the spine, neck and tailbone.

Also like other forms of impact play, there's a big different between a bare foot and a steel-toed boot. (You should also watch out for breaking toes.)

I would suggest calibrating how hard your partner wants to be kicked. He probably doesn't want to be kicked with full force. Instead of being kicked with the toe or heel, a light tap or prod with the sole of the foot or shoe might be enough.

Kick him square in the testicles. Men LOVE that.
