Scratching Post

Scratching post is a term used to describe a submissive partner who derives pleasure from being scratched, clawed, or otherwise marked by their dominant partner. This dynamic often complements primal play or pet play. ### Origins of the Term This term draws a parallel to a cat's scratching post, which is an object used for scratching and marking territory. ### Why People Are Into It The submissive may enjoy the tactile experience of nails or other implements running across their skin, leading to sensations ranging from light tingles to more intense stimulation. Scratches can also serve as visible - and sexy! - reminders of a session. ### Related Roles - Primal - Kitten - Cat - Puppy
