Cock & Ball Torture
Introduction
Cock and ball torture, or CBT as it is more commonly called, can involve a variety of things. Torture can be used to induce mild to severe pain or it can be used only to cause discomfort. It is important to note that the penis and testicles can be easily or permanently damaged and, therefore, caution must be observed when practicing this activity.
Some in the BDSM community speculate that torturing a man’s genitals is directly related to sexual control issues while others argue that torturing a male’s sex organs addresses the ego. I would suppose that each male has his own reason for desiring this type of torture.
In some earlier cultures, a man’s testicles were held as being very sacred, and, in some instances, oaths were given while holding a man’s testicles in the hand. And, in some countries, squeezing a man’s testicles could lead to the perpetrator losing their hand.
There are many methods of CBT and, depending on the pain threshold or erotic tendencies of the individual, some can be very dramatic.
Ball Torture
I. Squeezing
The testicles are perhaps the most sensitive area of a man’s genitals as well as the most fragile. Any activity
involving the testicles should be undertaken carefully and with consideration given to the individual welfare.
Mistakes can lead to ruptures, tears, or other disfiguring and disabling results.
One form of ball torture is simply squeezing them between the palm of one hand as if squeezing a rubber ball. By pulling down on the testicles before squeezing them, they rest at the bottom of the sack and can be squeezed more effectively. Start with gentle pressure and work up from there until your partner has reached his threshold.
While squeezing the balls you can manipulate them in your palm, causing them to rub slightly against one another. This rubbing presses on nerves that lie on the outsides of each testicle and causes a sharp shooting pain that travels up into the abdomen.
II. Slapping
Slapping is another painful method of ball torture. While the sack of the testicles hangs loose, gently but firmly slap them from side to side. The testicles will bounce within the sack when they are slapped causing immense pain so it is wise not to slap them with too much force.
You can also tie up the balls with a length of rope, tubing, or leather straps. To do this, gather the testicles in one hand and gently pull them down. With the other hand, wrap the rope or other restraint device just above the balls and tie it off. Once this is accomplished, tap lightly with the fingers on the now taut sides of the testicles.
The testicles are subject to rupture easily when they are bound so it is important that you do not use too much force during this activity. Also, the testicles should not remain bound for extended periods of time as blow flow may be restricted.
III. Pinching
The skin around the testicles is more sensitive while bound and pinching them with fingernails or tweezers can also prove to be very painful. Scraping the nails or other implements over the tightened skin of the sack is also deemed painful.
Use a ballpoint pen to write or draw on the bound testicles. This produces sensations that vary from sensual to
painful, depending on the amount of pressure applied.
You might also try a tracing wheel (can be purchased at sewing centers for under $2.00) to trace over the surface of the bound testicles. Again, the amount of pressure used determines the reaction you will get. You may even try placing the tracing wheel in the freezer for a few hours beforehand.
Any instrument may be used in this manner, however, you may want to avoid anything that would cut or puncture the skin.
IV. Clamps
There are various devices that can be used to clamp the skin around the testicles. Nipple clamps, clothespins,
and binder clips are just a few useful things that you can use. Leaving these on for a period of time allows the
subject to adjust to the pressure that is being applied to the area. However, when the clamps are removed, the
experience will be extremely painful.
If you use clothespins, try purchasing the plastic ones that have holes in their ends. These can be applied over the entire sack of the testicles and then laced together with string or thin rope. Once they are all laced together, you can pluck at the various strings and produce pain in more specific areas all along with the sack.
Binder clips (purchased at office supply stores) will perhaps produce the most pain without the use of weights.
However, these can be adjusted by prying them apart giving you an assortment of pressures to use on your
submissive.
Nipple clamps (purchased through catalogs and fetish stores) come in a large variety. The butterfly clamps are nice because they can be easily weighted. The alligator clip variety can be adjusted to produce from mild to extreme discomfort.
Regardless of where you purchase your clips, be sure to wash them first in warm soapy water and then sterilize
them with alcohol before using them. This cuts down on bacteria that may have been picked up during packaging and
shipping. And, always clean your toys after each play session.
V. Weights
Weights can be added to clamps that have been attached to the sack of the testicles. A good source for weights is a store that sells fishing tackle. By choosing fishing weights of various sizes and weights, you can make the
experience more challenging for the submissive.
By threading small rope or twine through the weights and tying them off, you have a weighting system that can be readily added to the clamps, a piece at a time.
Also, fishing weights come in various sizes, shapes, and weights which allows you to challenge your submissive to take more each time you play.
Other sources for weights are the hardware store. You can purchase nuts in varying sizes and weights that are also easily threaded with twine or rope, making them easy to use during playtime.
To store your weights, simply drive a nail in a closet wall out of sight and hang them from it.
VI. Parachutes
Parachutes are usually made of leather and can be purchased through most fetish catalogs or stores catering to the BDSM scene. A parachute attaches between the testicles and the penis and has three chains that come together just under the testicles. These chains are usually joined together with a circular link so that weights can be attached. Though not necessarily painful, most men who enjoy CBT find the constant tug on their testicles to be erotic. Also, men can be made to walk around while wearing the weights dangling between their thighs.
The parachute can also be turned inside out while the testicles are still in them, producing a mushroom-looking
effect of the testicles. Parachutes can be purchased in one size- fits all, however, when possible it’s best to have
them made to your specific size and requirements. You can have attachments added to your parachute if it is made for you.
When having a parachute custom-made, consider having studs sewn into the side that will sit against the testicles. This causes discomfort, especially after weights have been added or when worn under clothing.
VII. Binding
Binding the testicles can be accomplished in several ways. While pulling down on the testicles, you can use rope,
twine, or leather straps, wrapping it repeatedly around the sack then tying it off. This wrapping causes some
stretching and separation and can present a very pleasing sight.
The testicles can also be separated and each tied into its own little sack. Start with the lowest hanging testicle first and once it is firmly tied move to the next. Once both testicles are separately tied, wrap rope above both causing them to be pushed together. You must be careful tying off the testicles because blood flow can be interrupted to the area over a period of time, causing damage. You might also want to choose multi-color rubber bands to tie off the testicles with.
You can also purchase leather ball straps in varying sizes that can be placed around the balls, although these are usually made of leather and over time will stretch.
VIII. Mummification
Mummification is not just for the whole body. The testicles can be wrapped and completely encased in rope, gauze,
cloth strips, or even packaging tape. Be cautious when striking the testicles in this state as again they are tightly bound and could be damaged easily. If you are using gauze, start at the top of the sack and work your way down. This puts more pressure into the sack of the testicles when you are finished.
When using the tape you don’t need to worry too much about how tight you should get it as the real torture starts when you remove it. Old bed linens and pillowcases make excellent binding material and can be washed and used again after each play session.
IX. Waxing
Waving the balls is another way to produce pain. Choose either soft or hard wax, depending on the temperature you prefer. Soft wax will melt quicker and cooler while the hard wax will burn slow and hot. Drip the wax slowly and at intervals all along the surface of either loose or tied testicles.
Shaving the testicles beforehand will make them more sensitive and makes wax removal less of a chore. Of course, if you don’t choose to shave your submissive, he’s in store for a harrowing time while the wax is removed.
You might try removing the wax with a dull-edged butter knife for more sensation or giving the testicles a hard
squeeze will break up the wax and allow you to slowly peel it off in small sections.
Wax retains heat so you can pour on several layers at a time without the worry of serious burns.
The penis can be tortured in a variety of ways also, however, it is important to note once again that this is an area that is susceptible to damage. Caution should be exercised with the following activities.
