I mean, as long as the punches are good for you, everything is fine. If your partner says he wants to hit harder, that's fine too, but always with little breaks and you have to have confidence.
I have a friend who works in a hospital. As she had explained it to me, no matter what you do or how strong your abs are – no matter if you're a gymnast like Aly Raisman talking about how you built your abs up over several years and condition it an hour a day – the viscera behind the ab wall will always bear some of the impact from a well-meaning punch. It's unavoidable.
It's all well and good to see just how much of that pain you can absorb with your ab wall and for how long – that is all part of the fun of this kink after all – but at the end of the day, you're allowing your body to be damaged, for you are not actually steel, brick or stone.
Ultimately, as long as you know your limits, take breaks when appropriate, communicate with your partner and listen to your body, you should still be fine in the long run. But don't be surprised if you wake up one day years down the road and feel that something's starting to feel a bit— off.
Hopefully, you'll find that it was worth it. I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't.
If you're that nervous about it, or don't know or don't trust the person punching you, then don't do it. There are risks to most things in life. The question is what your appetite or tolerance is for them.
My sainted mother was the last female I listened to for life advice. From a purely scientific perspective, fun is irrelevant.
Yes, men can sometimes do stupid things. But that's the nature of the beast, and what makes life interesting. It should never be arrested completely.
If my doctor told me that, I'd remind her if not for the male's intrepidity we'd all still be living in caves and painting ourselves blue to ward off evil spirits.
P.S. I draw the line at using household implements on my body.
I wouldn't necessarily call it stupid, at least not inherently. Having a kink or a fetish is an intended function of a human being; we all have one to some degree, and some people are just liars (unless they're asexual, obviously). But if form follows function, i.e. the form of release in this case, I don't think it has to be that the form is any worse or more damaging than the function. It isn't stupid, in other words, to want release. In— most cases, anyway.
I think the issue stems from one's kink or fetish becoming too familiar to an individual, and so they feel that they need to spice it up a bit, and depending on the sexual compulsion, this can escalate things into stupid territory. Enjoying gut-punching and taking gut-punches is one thing, but going for hours at a time and 'graduating' to football kicks with steel-toed boots goes beyond simply stupid. And if we point out that even just the 'vanilla' stuff can harm you, well yes, but so can playing sports, and that's generally still worth it for the release.
Going back to my gymnastics comment, there's a reason why gymnasts retire early. But plenty go on to make careers on social media that tend to involve them continuing to do gymnastics, just on a more casual level, even ones with injuries. Basically, as long as you're smart about what you need, you can still make it work to some degree.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily say that this is exclusive to just men. Anyone is capable of being daring and doing things based on that. And if no men had been in those caves to start with, the women would have simply divvied up duties, and some would have gone on to hunt instead of to forage.
That's the equivalent of telling a zebra not to have stripes. Males inherently do stupid stuff. That's the nature of the best. It can be detrimental. But its also what got us out of living in caves.
Some people are saying "Oh no, not the solar plexus "
But what if the guy likes being hit in the solar plexus to have the wind knocked out of hm?
Because that's what I like.
Being hit hard in the solar plexus to have the wind knocked out of me for real.
I've been punching guys since I was a kid and never killed to even seriously hurt anyone. As a puncher, I always pay very close attention to how my punchee is reacting to the punches. It's important for me to know how much he can handle and when enough is enough
A topic of interest to me. BDSM people tend to just say "high risk", maybe advise taking the hits flexed, and not go into more detail. But then loads of people are doing GP/BP and not getting killed doing it!
In particular where within the gut area is relatively safe versus where is better avoided? How to manage the risks of taking gut punches unflexed (which can be really hot), including "sucker punches", be managed? And what sort of pain is OK versus what is a sign to stop now?
Fighters do practice this. I have done it at various boxing/Muay Thai/kickboxing gyms over the years (granted, with gloves). And we will do sit ups with a partner who will slam our abs with a Thai pad as we come down to the floor. Let me tell you, that hurts if you recently cracked a rib! haha (that was NOT from gut punching)
'Love savoring a session for days' is IT for me, it's the best. I enjoy gp and it's erotic AF but the feeling after is even better. Does last for days in the right hands. Always brings me back for more 👊👊
definitely have to take some solar shots during a session . Love the pain but cant be more than one at a time for me then back to mainly gut slugs sneaking in a good SP punch . My main thing is taking every punch tensed so my muscles will be sore for days. Love savoring a session for days ! Always wanted to end the session with me seeing my puncher out at the door but he tells me to take my shirt back off for a final solid SP punch but I've always chickened out . Got close once. The guy told me to hold the shirt in front of my face so I couldnt see it coming . I held the shirt up but backed out at the last second.
Yeah, nobody wants to die or increase the chances. My recent match I got punched a lot (over 300 punches to my abs in the mach). He was punching me all over my abs to find my weak spot to wear me down. He seemed to focus on punching the where my ab crack is, and really focused on the solar plexus area of my abs and the belly button. But it was safe fun. I was sore AF after, but that's because I took a lot. And I would have been disappointed other wise, lol.
The match I had before this, I got turned in an awkward way and my ribs were punched (guys like to tag my ribs for some reason). It left me with a sore discomfort afterward. Got better after a week. So leading up to my recent matched, I focused more on building the muscles on my sides and around my ribs. That incident did not happen again.
SP not so much of an issue (as others have said) some like to be pounded on the sides and this can cause problems for kidneys, liver and floating ribs particularly from hooks, if you want to lay some hooks into a punchee and avoid these issues, stand 90 degrees to the punchee and position yourself at a distance so your fist/glove lands in the navel or just above, of course this means you can't land reciprocating hooks, but you should be able to work out how to get that reciprocating energy into one side.
The main reason this is happening is because most hobby and recreational combatants, DO NOT work their obliques and intercostal muscles properly or at all. As far as I am concerned they should be worked just as hard if not harder especially if you wrestle. Every move you make is CORE based and the obliques are right in the middle of that. I do seated Russian twists with a 25 pound plate on my chest 4 sets of 40 in conjunction with wide swing Alphabet leg raises. I also do twisting crunches with a 25 pound plate in my arm pit as I twist to the right and left. Most guys dont know how to train their bodies to get the most out of their muscles. There are plenty of great tutorials out there that show you the right way. I train on a BOSU Balance trainer which really kicks in the Obliques and Intercostals. As always if you have a question Il try and answer it or send you to someone who can.
Make sure that you CONFIRM he's open to and WANTING to take any "nut taps" or pec hits, as some here have suggested you include. The nut hits, especially, are very different from gut hits –– and some of us here are only into taking blows to our abs and stomachs!
There's always a small amount of risk, but so long as you communicate well and respect each other's limits you should be ok. As a general rule I avoid kidneys, bladder and bone, which I think everyone else has already mentioned.
Now go and destroy him. Nothing hotter than the perfect punch that makes him double over, gasping for breath, ooouuuggghhh 🔥🔥👊👊🥊🥊
I also avoid the solar-plexus. I have heard it was a dangerous target but I know some punchees love to be hit there. I usually stick to the navel area and slightly below
@Expat Yeah, I was challenged about this earlier on this thread, and have to admit it's what I had heard and – more importantly – told by a hardcore punchee. So I listened and remembered.
I thought about this since and personally would only take a punch to the SP at half power and a straight shot; no angles. I think it has the effect of instantly collapsing the frame as opposed to the navel where the abs soak up the blow.
Did a tiny bit of googling about this, but only came across sites where it was proposed as debilitating spot to punch in a real fight and a last resort.
absolutely - its gonna hurt. But its can also be sweet if you have the upper abs to resist it and still have the underling hurt....plus the satisfaction of withstanding it..
Short-term buzz great; long-term concerns about internal injuries, less so. Unlike the bruising, welts and other marks that show with GP directed at the belly, we never quite know what's damaged inside.
Anyway, don't want to detract from the enjoyment you guys have. I'm not a hardcore GP-er - but enjoy it now and again but with those limits.
I think the biggest danger to the solar plexus is that in adults, your xyphoid process (the pointy bit at the base of your sternum) is calcified. That means there's always a risk of it getting broken off and giving you a poke in the lung.
interesting observation. But wouldn't that only come into play if one hit, uppercut, right at the very top? and at which point the puncher is also messing with breaking ribs. SO yea, avoid that!
Definitely vary the intensity, build up to more as you both become comfortable. Make sure the receiver is able to breathe and breathes as normally as possible, it makes it less intense and you can generally take more. Mix up the target areas and go for lighter shots when they're relaxed, gyves the abs a break and the receiver makes a great noise when it's unexpected.
Stay midline, mix it up a little, vary intensity and placement, throw in some pec shots, yeah some nut taps and sack grabs are nice, throw elbows and knees if your target is ok with them. Be careful with knees, it can be challenging to precisely place them. Some tit work gives the gut a break, but keeps the target on his toes (sometimes literally haha.)
Anybody want to try any or all of that on me, message me direct. I'm up for it. As much as I can take.
Just wondering how safe it is to actually punch someone else in the gut? I come from a kink place so I wanna assess the risks before punching a jobber friend of mine
I recently went though close to an hour of gut punching. It took about two weeks for the bruises to go away, but there was not damage. Just stay away from the ribs and kidneys. And it won't hurt to pop the balls every once in awhile during the session. I think I'm ready for another session.

I think the biggest danger to the solar plexus is that in adults, your xyphoid process (the pointy bit at the base of your sternum) is calcified. That means there's always a risk of it getting broken off and giving you a poke in the lung.

2. Kidneys are not something to mess with
3. careful of lower ribs. Ask me how i know. (not from GP, but similar)
4. As noted, build up carefully.
If its long enough and intense enough, you can develop welts. These are painful, but not dangerous. Surface damage to the casing around the abs.
