What is more important to a man than his cock and balls? Forget the
sports car, the house, the wife, the job, the position in life -- you
mess with his private parts, he's usually stricken to the heart. Cock
and ball torture is to a large extent psychological -- you're just
helping it along with some physical props.
So what is C&BT, exactly? Of course, it varies from person to person,
but the term is generally used to refer to restricting the cock and
balls and/or playing with them, either by causing pain or other
sensations. Obviously, this isn't something you do with an unconsenting
bottom -- if they don't want you to go there, then DON'T! But for many
men, cock and ball torture (it should really be "cock and ball play")
is a great turn-on.
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.
But with that caution, the cock and balls can stand up (tee hee) to much
more torture than you might think. Slapping, poking, stretching and
flogging are all pretty much okay -- well, okay in the sense that they won't
cause damage. As someone with more experience than me can attest, it
still hurts like hell.
So let's start with some basics. First, as with any scene, find out what
your bottom is looking for. Are they just after bondage? Sensation but
not pain? Pain but not hitting? Anything goes? (use the checklist)
Once you've determined the level to which you can go, it's time to start
getting creative. Following is a list of interesting toys and effects
which you can use on the sacred wand and its two hangers-on.
