OTK – over the knee

OTK is short for “over the knee” and refers in BDSM to a position where a submissive person lies over another person’s knee. This position is often combined with spanking or other forms of controlled chastisement. Depending on the situation, it may feel dominant, disciplinary, caring, or ritualized.

Important points are stable positioning, clear agreements, and the choice of suitable strike areas. Particularly sensitive areas such as the spine, kidneys, hips, and joints should be avoided, and intensity should be increased gradually. A safeword, attention to pain, and aftercare are advisable so the practice remains consensual and safe.
