Thigh

Female thigh.

The thigh is the upper part of the leg, between the pelvis/buttocks and the knee. It is a big, muscular and tender body part, much thicker than the arm or the crus.

The thigh and spanking

In spanking, the thigh has four roles:

• the seated spanker's thigh(s) can be used as a platform to lay the spankee over, in spanking positions such as:
  • the over-the-knee position (OTK)
  • the over-one-knee position
  • the straddling position
• the spankee can be tucked between the spanker's thighs in:
  • the standing-between-legs position
  • the head-between-legs position
  • the waist-between-legs position
• the back of the thighs can be spanked, e.g. caning, birching or whipping, and
• the inside of a bottom's thighs may be spanked, typically with the spankee lying on the back and ankle restraints forming a "V" with the legs. The spanker should stand over the bottom's shoulders to spank in a criss-cross manner inside the "V".

The thigh can also be a place for self-punishment (see cilice).

The point where the buttock and thigh meets is known as the "sweet spot" for spanking.
