Cock & Ball Torture (CBT)
Definition
Cock and ball torture, or CBT as it is more commonly called, can involve a variety of things. It varies from person to person, but it generally refers to restricting the cock and balls and/or playing with them, causing pain or other sensations. 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. Further, this is obviously not something you would do with an unconsenting bottom, but for many men, cbt is a great turn on.
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.
First off, you should realize that both the cock and the balls are quite resilient and can take quite a lot of outward pain. There are two main activities to avoid, and the rest are pretty safe — first, never squeeze the penis so hard you damage the erectile tissue, and never strike the balls so hard they are in danger of rupturing. Both these can be avoided by refraining from using sharp, hard hits on this area. You can hit with many flat objects and even whips, as long as you don’t hit with, say, the edge of a wooden spoon.
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 man’s genitals as well as the most fragile. Any activity
involving the testicles should be undertaken carefully and with consideration given to the individuals 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 a 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 which 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 down. With the other hand, wrap the rope or other restraint device just above the balls and tie 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 ball point 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 before hand.
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 which can be used to clamp the skin around the testicles. Nipple clamps, clothes pins,
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 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. 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 it easy to use them during play time.
You can add a lead or other weight to the scrotum by tying a loop in the middle of the cord before you begin wrapping it around the ball sack. Put the weight on a sturdy cord and tie it to the loop once it’s firmly tied around the scrotum. DON’T LET GO OF THE WEIGHT SUDDENLY! Lower it gently until the cord is taut and then carefully let go. Many men find the sensation of having their scrotum pulled to be very pleasurable. You can use weights ranging from an ounce or less to ones up to 3 to 5 pounds. Don’t leave the weight on for too long if the guy isn’t really used to it — five minutes is probably tops.
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 causing some
stretching and separation and can present a very pleasing sight.
The testicles can also be separated and each tied into it’s 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.
Cock rings work well for making sure the balls don’t retreat into the body once you start messing with them. You can get a large variety of cock rings, from rubber to leather snaps to varying sizes of metal rings. Some even have pokey bits going through them to add to the sensation. You can use 1/4″ elastic, leather thong, or long bits of rubber to wrap up the cock and balls. Start by folding the material in half to find the middle point; wrap the middle point once tightly around the balls from underneath. Remember your goal is to make sure the balls can’t retreat into the body. Don’t loop it so tightly that you completely cut off circulation, however! Now wrap the material around several more times to secure it and tie it a few times. Now you have the option of bringing the cord between the balls in order to separate them and stretch the scrotum. You can keep wrapping the cord along the length of the cock until you want to tie it off.
VIII. Mummification
Mummification is not just for 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 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 pillow cases 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. A 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 worry of serious burns.
Penis Torture
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.
I. Whipping
Whipping the penis can be done while it is soft or hard. When the penis is in full erection, blood vessels are
enlarged so it is important that you are careful in doing this exercise. A ruptured vessel takes a lengthy time to
heal and can sometimes interfere with future erections.
You can use any type of whip that you so desire as long as you do not use too much force. Striking the penis with
the tips of the whip is preferable since any other motion will produce a wrapping effect.
Some companies make a short whip that often times resembles a key chain. This whip is quite effective in
administering pain given it’s small size.
Another suggestion would be to purchase some shoe laces (found at most stores) and tie them together creating a home made whip. The plastic tips at the end of the shoelaces can cause great pain to the submissive when they
make contact with the skin. This type of whip is also effective because you can design it to a length that you can
handle comfortably. Another way to make your own whip is to buy leather shoe laces and braid them together. This makes a short, easily handled whip that will have more weight to it.
II. Waxing
Totally encasing the penis in wax of various colors can be enjoyable to the Top as well as the bottom. Again, you
must decide between hard and soft wax. Soft wax molds more easily to the surface of the penis and can be layered.
As the wax is layered heat is held in close to the skin on the penis and can be very erotic to the submissive.
Removing sections of the wax is easier if you start with a softer wax. You can take out sections and rewax while the rest is still cooling.
If you are feeling very creative, place a birthday candle at the very tip of the penis when you start waxing and coat the wax at the base until it stands firmly in place. (Be careful not to shove the candle into the urethra.)
Once you have finished waxing the entire surface of the penis, light the birthday candle and watch it’s progress. It will drop down onto the existing wax, heating things up again.
III. Binding
The penis can be bound with rope, leather, chain, gauze, or packing tape in much the same manner as the testicles. Binding the penis while soft keeps it from reaching erection and can be an added tool of torture while engaging in other activities. Cock straps are also available in leather and can be fitted onto the penis before it is hard to prevent erection.
Another idea is to place as many condoms on the penis as possible. Each condom will add pressure to the penis as well as cutting down on the amount sensation that the submissive can feel through them. I suggest purchasing
cheaper priced condoms for this activity, however, do not use these same condoms for protection purposes.
Non-lubricated condoms produce the greatest amount of discomfort to the submissive.
IV. Clamps-On Toys
You can use a variety of implements to clamp onto the penis and balls. I’ve seen doms use a whole bag of kitchen tools — imagine walking into Williams Sonoma and asking, “so, do you think THIS would hurt clamped onto a guy’s cock?” You can use those mesh balls used for straining tea, as long as the balls-to-be-clamped fit inside them. You can also get a tool used for cutting the top off of soft-boiled eggs — it’s a plastic ring with two handles that, when squeezed, make a short ring of pokey metal bits protrude inward. Slip that sucker over the penis and get good at giving the handle short squeezes when he’s bad.
V. Piercing
You can run a variety of objects over the cock and balls. You can use knives of various sharpness to scare your bottom or do a pretend castration scene. Usually you’ll just want to run the flat of the knife over the cock and balls, not the edge. You can poke the penis with knife points, fingernails, and the like. Neurological wheels (they look sort of like pizza cutters but with points instead of a blade) are great. Don’t forget non-painful toys too — a makeup brush, satin scraps, and fur pieces all work well.
VI. Sounds, Catheters and Cock Nails
If done properly, urethral insertion can be an intensely pleasurable part of cock and ball play. The terror/queasy factor on urethral play is far higher than most other forms of cock and ball torture, however. You can buy long pieces of metal called sounds that are made specifically to insert into the urethra; you can also use long nails that have been ground down to be completely smooth. DON’T stick anything down the urethra that hasn’t been completely smoothed! Before inserting the sound or cock nail, grease it liberally with Neosporin. And I do mean liberally! Start slowly, just as in anal sex — play with the urethral opening for a while until your subject relaxes. Carefully insert the sound. It’s best to have a semi-hard penis for this process — fully erect penises will close off the urethra, and soft ones don’t give you anything to work with. Gently insert the sound or nail, being careful not to push it in if you encounter resistance. If the guy is relaxed enough, the sound should begin sliding in on its own. Never force it! If it won’t go in, set it aside for another play session. You should keep a careful hold of it to prevent it from slipping in farther than you would like. Don’t wiggle it back and forth; you can slide it gently in and out a bit for more sensation.
