I was traveling the Map of Human Sexuality when I came across the State of Impact Play, and noticed one of the towns in the counties was misplaced!
Although Bastinado IS impact play, it really falls under Body Part Torture.
Bastinado is the hitting, flogging, or caning of the soles of feet specifically.
This practice is usually seen in BDSM, and has deep roots. Favored by Turkey, Persia, China and the Middle East because it is extremely painful, and it leaves few physical marks; evidence can be detected via ultrasound.
