Junk. Package. Family jewels. The penis-and-testicles brand of genitalia has as many silly names as there are videos on the Internet of people getting hit in the balls. But for some kinksters, those nut-shots are more than portrayals of pain: they’re sexually enticing.
Yes, while most people who have balls cringe and cup them in sympathy when they see someone take a blow there, a few are into it. Others who don’t want a direct nad-shot still get enjoyment from various types of restraint, pressure, pain, and impact applied to their nethers. It’s called cock and ball torture, or CBT, and it can be a fun and fascinating game to add to your kink repertoire.
As with all kinky and sexual activities, it is vital to learn whether or not your play partner is into this before you begin! (And don’t forget to bone up on bondage safety tips.) For some, it might be a total no-go. Others may already be into some gentler manipulation. But some really like it when you get a little rough with the stuff.
Why Cock and Ball Torture (CBT)?
The neat thing about external genitals is how versatile they are for play. Cocks and balls can be tied up, smacked around, squeezed, scratched and bitten, yanked, twisted, stretched, inflated, and stuck full of needles. They’re sturdier than we’ve been led to believe, and the truly delicate parts – the parts that drop you to the ground when they’re hit – are easy to avoid (or not, if they’re into that!).
There’s a lot of erectile tissue, which makes them stretchy and fun to move around. It also makes them change shape and size in response to stimuli. The same quality that allows for hard-ons and scrotums tightening also gives these parts a lot of personality – and can make them a good metric for when you’re doing well.
Finally, CBT is powerful. Masculinity is so culturally constructed around male genitals: their size, their potency, and who they get put inside. Playing with cock and ball torture can really hit men where they live – literally. It can be vulnerable, humiliating, a proof of strength – or all of those things. Playing with CBT can be physically fun, but also an intense way to do power exchange.
Where to Begin
The easiest place to start is with your own hands. Depending on your safer sex agreements, you can wear latex or nitrile gloves, or use bare hands. If either of you are new to CBT, start slowly and gently! Get your partner to give you lots of feedback. While the jumble-giblets are tougher than we give them credit for, they should still be approached with care.
Cocks can usually handle a bit more than balls can. Start with light smacking on the penis (see it jiggle, watch it wiggle), or try giving it or the balls a few harder squeezes. People often enjoy some types of uncomfortable sensations and not others – different strokes for different folks, as they say. You can also use your hands to pull, pinch, punch, and if barehanded, scratch. Hands are also great for intimacy in play, and let you have immediate, tactile feedback.
Don’t discount other body parts for CBT, either! Feet and toes are a favorite: you can kick, step on, dig a heel into, or grab with your toes. You can nibble and bite, if your mouth goes there. If you like wrestling or rough body play, you can incorporate cock and ball torture into it with knees, elbows, or really any part. Try putting your weight on your knee while on top, rather than just throwing a knee to the crotch! Some people are into “ballbusting,” but it’s definitely an acquired taste.
Open Your Toy Bag (If You Know What I Mean)
You can use most toys that you’d use on other body parts on the rude bits, too. For cock and ball bondage, use paracord, boot laces, or other nylon cord, as it’s thin, cheap, washable, and good for more delicate work. You can use sisal or other twine, too, and throw it away afterward; remember that it’ll also be rougher on the skin. Have a pair of medical scissors around to safely snip any knots you can’t untie.
Try wrapping some line around the top of the balls. Run some rope between the balls and separate them. Wrap around the base of the cock and the balls together, or in a figure-eight. Try a macrame weave around the shaft, or wind a spiral all the way down, then pull it off and watch the dick do the helicopter. CBT can be intense, but it can also be entertaining.
Some like to feel weight hanging from their balls. You can hang fishing weights or other weighted objects from your rope bondage if you make a strong loop. If you get really into it, there’s a toy called a “parachute,” which is kind of like putting the balls in a cone of shame and then hanging weights from the attached chains. There are lots of leather, metal, silicone and plastic toys designed for containing or restricting the bits in creative ways.
Scratchy or other sensation toys work great for cock and ball torture, too: Wartenberg wheels, banjo picks or other claws - the possibilities end at the limit of your collection. You can also hit with floggers, whips, crops, even canes. As with everything, start slow and work up: you’ll prevent injury, and maybe discover more endurance than you thought.
The Luxury Trouser Department
CBT can get pretty advanced, with things like butterfly boards and scrotum inflations. If you get really into this kind of play, there’s a whole world to explore that intersects with needle play, medical play, and other techniques that require a lot of practice, safety precautions, and care. So start slow down low. If all goes well, and you want to try more extreme things, take your time and find a good tackle-teacher. Your partner’s dangly bits will thank you.
