In my experience, real pain is not erotic, no matter how much you fantasize about it (and if you're like me, that's all the time). Light to moderate pain can be quite enjoyable, however. The best kind is just barely outside your comfort zone.
There's a continuous and pointless debate in the BDSM community about "thuddy" vs. "stingy" pain. An example of the former would be the paddle, while an example of the latter would be the cane. Different people have different preferences.
A single tail is the closest thing to a whip you might actually feel. But only seriously hardcore masochists can handle full-on whipping (that will draw blood). Most people can only take a light flicking with it. It's a very sharp, very stingy pain that lasts quite a while after it hits. The cane is somewhat comparable.
Floggers tend to be more thuddy, but with a bit of sting. The intensity of the sensation varies quite a bit depending on the material, the weight of the flogger, and the strength and sadism of the person doing the flogging. Rubber floggers are notoriously viscious.
The most important thing about impact play is a warm up. If your Dom start out with hard strikes, you won't last very long. There has to be a slow and gradual build up, so the endorphins get flowing. If you manage to get into "subspace", you can take quite a beating for quite a while, but not many people actually get there.
