Tap it or punch it? I mean there’s a difference in both movements and intensity.

I feel like in the moment, one would want to overdo it rather then underdo it. Particularly if the thing in its mouth is your other arm or leg.

I mean that would be my instinct but what if they have like a pressure point there that requires a specific amount of force that happened to be approximately the same as a light tap?
