Gaymers and spanking enthusiasts take note: indie game developer Robert Yang of Brooklyn, New York has created a spanking simulation game called ‘Hurt Me Plenty’. As you spank your virtual submissive, he grunts and moans with pleasure to a thumping techno soundtrack.

What makes Robert’s game so novel is the way he has built the idea of consent into the virtual play. Players can choose to have their submissive naked or clothed, and can choose the degree of punishment as well as a safe word. After exhausting my submissive, he told me I was too rough, ‘…But wow, that was fucking incredible. I can’t even walk’.
