Spanking is one of the classics in erotic power exchange (BDSM). The term spanking is usually used for anything that has to do with spanking the bottom. In general, no other parts of the body are involved.

Good, erotic spanking is an artform and requires skill. Banging off too enthusiastically will almost always lead to quick disillusion. The sensations come too quick and too intense and simply kill the fun. What you want to do is "warm up" the bottom first by starting with light spanking until their "cheeks start to blush."

This process is repeated several times until your partner can take as much as you want them to. Before you even start to spank, let them wait for a while. Just lay your partner over your lap, lift their skirt if there is one, lower the panties and gently stroke their bottom first. Make it erotic. Make it exciting. Take your time. There is no hurry. This is supposed to be a feast.
