Everyone usually have a pair of nipples and they can be the
gateway to BDSM heaven if treated in a certain way. An activity that can be
carried out with this in mind, is what is commonly known as Tit Torture or
Nipple Torture.
Nipples are sensitive and a perfect area of the body use for
pain and pleasure. Nipple torture can be carried out quite easily by biting on
them, licking and pinching them. Keep in mind that it’s highly individual how
nipple torture is processed, but with an escalating practice most people can
turn the nipple torture into something very enjoyable. Nipples are in other
words quite versatile.
You can also get a pair of nipple clamps or a good
old-fashioned clothing pin if you are on a budget, I prefer the wooden ones,
mostly for aesthetic reasons. The downside with regular clothing pins is that
is impossible to control the pressure they apply on the nipple – And this is
where a pair of nipple clamps comes into the picture, because they give you a
greater level of control.
So if you want to have more control when applying the pain
to the nipples, then you have a couple of choices as nipple clamps come in all
sorts. I am going to sort out the differences between the basic ones as they
all open up for new possibilities..
Before you start playing with nipple torture, there are some
basic guidelines that are always good to follow:
The
majority of nipple torture involves cutting off circulation to the nipples, the
general rule is that nipple clamps shouldn’t be used for more than 10-15
minutes in order to prevent permanent damage to nerve ends among other thing.
Always
try the clamps on yourself to get a sense of what you are subjecting your
submissive to.
If you
are using a pair of wooden clothing pins, be sure to use them on something else
a couple of times to take the “bite” out of them.
If you or
your submissive haven’t done nipple torture before, then don’t go for the
meanest ones – Start slowly and work your way up for a longer period of time.
The line
between pleasure and pain when using nipple clamps are very thin. Be sure to
stay below that line in order to get maximum pleasure out of your nipple
torture.
The
nipples can get hypersensitive, even for days, afterwards.
Clover clamps
Clover clamps are also known as Japanese clamps as they have
appeared in a lot of Japanese style porn movies. The clover clamp have smaller
points, compared to other clamps, that are rubberised. The rubber helps to
create a firm grip around the nipple which is necessary as clover clamps have a
twist to them.
The more you pull on a clover clamp the harder it grabs hold
of the nipple. This means that if you have a chain between a pair of clover
clamps, then you can hang weights on the chain in order to increase the
pressure on the nipple. Clover clamps have an initial nasty bite to them and
are considered only to be used on submissive that are experienced in using
nipple clamps.
Clover clamps are best applied a little bit behind the
actual nipple as the points of pressure are small – If they are applied in such
a way that they just grab hold of half of the nipple, then the bite is turned
into a pinch which can make anyone pass out. The clover clamps should be
applied gently and slowly as any mistake can be too painful.
Bull nosed clamps
Bull nosed clamps have blunt ends covered in rubber or latex
and a screw in the middle which allows you to control the pressure they apply on
the nipple. These clamps offer the same comfort as Tweezer clamps, the pressure
on the nipple is fairly moderate even when they are tightened as far as they
can be.
The pressure area is also fairly large in comparison with
the clover clamps, which also makes these clamps to be considered as “nice”
ones that are suitable for the aspiring beginner in the art of nipple torture.
Applying the bull nosed clamps can be a little bit of a
hassle as you need to have a firm grip of the nipple between tip of your index
finger and thumb to make it stick out. While holding that grip you need to
guide the clamp in place and screw on it in order to make it grab hold of the
nipple. As you understand from reading this – It is a troublesome task.
One solution is that the submissive grab hold of the nipple
while the dominant concentrate on guiding the clamp and tightening the grip.
This is of course hard if your
submissive is tied up.
Tweezer clamps
Tweezer clamps are graceful looking and very aesthetically
pleasing. The pressure they apply on the nipple is regulated by a small metal
ring that is moved up or down along the tweezer. The pressure that applied on
the nipple by a tweezer clamp is minimal as the tweezer itself is very thin and
the metal tend to budge. The rubber tips also helps to avoid a harsh pain when
using tweezer clamps.
The grip of the tweezer clamp makes it unsuitable to sustain
weights and if you pull on them they usually lose their grip. When applying
these clamps, then you have the same problem as when you apply the bull nose
clamps – You need to keep a grip on the nipple while guiding the clamp and
adjusting the pressure ring. These clamps are also very hard to use on someone
with small nipples and they are best applied straight on a stiff nipple.
The metal also gets weakened after extensive use, so you
have to buy new ones now and then – On the other hand, they are fairly
inexpensive.
No rubber protection
When you get more experienced with the tweezer clamps then
you can remove the rubber tips and that reveals a pair of metal teeth which
will make the clamp dig into the nipple, this is more for hardcore play and it
might break some skin as well. If you decide to use the clamps without the
rubber tips, then be sure the clean them carefully before and after use in a
suitable disinfectant. An infection in your nipple is not something that you
would want and it can actually affect your ability to breast feed later in
life.
My personal opinion is that tweezer clamps are mostly for
show as the tactile sensation is minimal – But if you have a low threshold when
it comes to pain while having your nipples stimulated then these clamps are a
very good start.
Tweezer clamps was actually my first pair of clamps that I
bought and I find them very useful when I am in the start of nipple training a
submissive as they are very soft.
C-clamps
C-clamps require that you can invoke a fairly large nipple
erection to make the clamp grab hold of the nipple. The big flat surface
creates a evenly distributed pressure across the nipple.
My experience is that you have to tighten these clamps
fairly hard to make them they stay in place. The smaller nipple you have, the
smaller surface for the C-clamp to grab hold of. The area between the two metal
rods is usually small, which makes it virtually impossible to apply the clamp
behind the nipple.
Applying these clamps involves the same problem as with
tweezer clamps and bull nosed clamps – You wish you had three hands when trying
to put these on a submissive. These are actually the hardest ones to put on as
you only have the nipple to work with, so you have to be very delicate in your
grip while trying to move the nipple into the clamp.
The psychological enjoyment of nipple clamps
As I mentioned before, nipple clamps constricts or even cuts
of circulation to the nipples. There is some pressure/pain involved when
applying the clamps onto the nipples, but that pain will usually dissipate as
the body gets used to the sensation and produces endorphins. This is also why
the dominant should keep track of the time that the clamps stays on, as the
submissive might not feel any pain at all after a couple of minutes.
There is a psychological twist with nipple clamps that is
quite enjoyable – They hurt even more when you remove them.
As you constrict the blood flow to the nipples you also make
them numb. As the blood rushes back into the area that has been constricted,
the feeling also returns creating an overload at the nerve ends. This means
that the submissive will in most cases feel a very sharp and intense,
uncontrollable, pain when the clamps are removed.
This can be used in favour of the dominant – Remove one clamp
and let the submissive ride through the pain. Then you remind the sub that
there is one clamp left and that you have to remove that as well. The longer
you let the clamps stay one, the more excruciating the pain will be when you
remove them and that can be enough to send someone into subspace. Be sure to
keep the basic rule; Don’t leave the clamps on no longer than 10-15 minutes to
avoid permanent damage to the nerve ends.
Happy clamping everyone and feel free to write about your
experiences with nipple clamps as comments to this post.
