Welcome back to our strange sex Saturday series, this weekend we are grabbing sex by the balls. No, really, CBT stands for cock and ball torture. You may be thinking that the word torture doesn’t really fit with your ideas of sex. However, for some people, having their cock and balls tortured really gets the ball rolling in the bedroom.

Safety First

Make sure that just like with any other form of bdsm all activities are consensual, done safely, and everyone involved has agreed to the activities and boundaries while in a sane and sober state of mind. One critical thing to remember about penis play is that while parts of your twig and berries will heal if damaged, there are other parts that simply will not. For example, small cuts on the scrotum, light bruising on the head, or abrasions to the skin will usually heal without any real serious impact on sensitivity or the ability to achieve or maintain an erection.

Now for the fun stuff

Let’s start at the base of things with the tried-and-true cock ring. A cock ring can serve a dual purpose in CBT play. Physically, a ring binds the penis while at the same time ensuring a longer erection while it is slapped or handled roughly. The ring can also have psychological implications. That cock is now ensnared and owned and is no longer under the control of the owner.

One of the basic (and wholly satisfying) techniques of CBT is a simple penis slap. That hard thing is just jutting out into the air and you strike it with an open palm. From the top, the bottom or the side, this simple act offers immense pleasure. As already previously noted, be very careful about compressing or twisting the shaft of the penis. If the internal spongy tissue is damaged, the penis may not work the same way afterwards. There are more advanced forms of CBT to work up to like sounding, but if you are new to CBT its best to start slow.

For the scrotum, the most common form of CBT play is to tug or squeeze the testicles. You can use a hand, of course, or you can try ball stretchers. Another way to involve the scrotum is to attach clips, such as clothespins, to the skin. These can be used in various types of CBT fun, however, they should be tested first. Try feeling the strength of the clip on various other types of skin, such as your earlobe or between your fingers to determine the level of pinch it delivers. Also, plastic clips are best because they can be sterilized.

Remember to take things slow and easy, maintaining clear communication throughout. The instant anything pinches, is unpleasantly painful, or even just feels uncomfortable, stop and undo any toys or binds involved. We will see you next week while we explore more of the “stranger” sides of sex and sexuality.
