INTRODUCTION TO CBT
Understanding CBT: What Is it?
CBT (cock and ball torture) is a BDSM activity involving the stimulation, manipulation, or inflicting of pain on the male genitals. This practice can be enjoyed by partners of any gender or sexual orientation and can range from mild to extreme. The purpose of CBT is to provide both physical and psychological stimulation, which can lead to heightened pleasure and intense orgasms. It can also be used as a form of power exchange, where the dominant partner has control over the submissive’s genitalia.
CBT can include a variety of techniques, such as:
Slapping or hitting the genitals
Kicking, punching or trampling the genitals
Squeezing or pulling the testicles
Using ropes or bondage to restrict blood flow
Applying heat or cold to the genitals
Using devices such as ball crushers or humbler
CBT is an intimate and thrilling practice that requires essential safety measures and guidelines to be followed. Exploring different techniques and understanding how to maximize pleasure and sensation can enhance your CBT experience. Although you can enjoy CBT without using toys, they can add variety and excitement. We recommend using quality products to ensure a safe and enjoyable session.
Just because someone tells you they enjoy CBT, that doesn’t necessarily mean they enjoy ALL CBT, or enjoy it on the cock AND balls, which is why consent and communication, establishing boundaries and limits are crucial when exploring with a partner.
Aftercare is an essential component of CBT, and taking care of both physical and emotional well-being is vital for a fulfilling and safe experience.
Safety First: Preparing for CBT
Before engaging in any type of CBT, it’s essential to prioritize safety measures. Follow these guidelines to prepare for a safe and fulfilling experience:
Communicate with Your Partner
Communication is key when it comes to CBT. Be open and honest with your partner about your desires, expectations, boundaries, and concerns. Discuss what type of CBT you want to engage in and establish a safe word to use if things get too intense. Consent is not the absence of ‘no,’ it is an enthusiastic and informed ‘yes.' Remember, consent is an ongoing process, and checking in with your partner throughout the experience is important. Establishing clear boundaries is crucial for any CBT activity. This can include discussing the pain level or discomfort you’re willing to endure and any specific techniques or tools you’re interested in trying. Encourage your partner to communicate any pain or discomfort they may be experiencing and be willing to adjust your techniques if necessary.
Set Up a Safe Word
Establish a safe word with your partner before engaging in CBT. This word should be something that is easily remembered and recognized, even during intense moments. When the safe word is used, both partners should stop and check in with each other to ensure they are safe and comfortable.
Know Your Limits
It’s important to know your limits and respect them. CBT can be intense, and it’s important to listen to your body and communicate with your partner about what you can handle. Don’t push yourself too far, and always prioritize your safety.
Gather the Necessary Equipment
Ensure you have all the necessary equipment for a safe and enjoyable experience. This includes high-quality restraints, lube, safety scissors, and gloves. If you plan on using any other tools or toys, make sure they are designed for CBT and of the utmost quality.
Prepare the Environment
Prepare the environment in which you will be engaging in CBT. Make sure the space is free of any hazards or objects that could cause injury and ensure there is enough room to move around comfortably. It’s also important to maintain a comfortable temperature and adequate lighting.
Exploring Different Techniques in CBT
Impact Techniques
Impact play involves striking the cock and testicles in a controlled and safe manner. It can be done with hands, paddles, floggers, canes, or other impact devices. For beginners, start with light taps and gradually increasing intensity based on personal preference. Impact play can produce a range of sensations, including pain, pleasure, and a rush of adrenaline. Impact will be more intense if combined with restriction.
Restriction Techniques
Restriction techniques involve using devices or restraints to restrict movement or blood flow to the balls. Some examples of devices are cock rings, ball stretchers, rope, and stockings. It’s important to ensure that restraints are not too tight and that they are removed immediately if any pain or discomfort is experienced. Maximum time for balls to be restrained is 20 mins. Remove immediately if balls feel cold to the touch or are blue in colour.
Combining Techniques
While these techniques can be explored individually, combining them can produce a unique and intense experience. Experimenting with different combinations of techniques can lead to discovering new sensations and pleasure.
Equipment Description
Cock and ball ring: A ring that fits around the base of the penis and testicles to enhance sensation and maintain an erection.
Ball stretcher: A device that wraps around the scrotum to add weight and stretch the balls for increased sensation. An example of this is a parachute with added weights or a metal spreader.
Cock and ball harness: A harness that fits around the penis and testicles to restrict blood flow and enhance sensation.
Clothes pins: A simple tool that can be used to apply pressure to the cock and balls. These are more intense when removed, allowing for the blood to rush back, than they are when you apply them.
Humblers: A tool that places pressure on the thighs and balls, restricting movement and increasing sensation.
Plexiglass press: This requires pulling the cock and balls through the hole in the bottom sheet of plexiglass, then only the cock through the hole in the second sheet, allowing for the balls to be trapped and squeezed between both layers as you tighten them together, allowing the cock to be free to tease or torture further.
Violet wand/Zeus electro box: Uses electro-stimulation to provide a mild shock or vibration. These devices can be used alone or with other stimulation techniques for added pleasure. (Make sure all metal is removed from/not touching the body before using electro play – including rings on cuffs or collars, jewelry etc. Do not use electro play if you have a pacemaker, metal implant of any kind, or have heart/breathing issues).
Temperature Play: Use ice cubes, metal cutlery that have been kept in the freezer, hot wax (make sure it is safe for skin and designed for this play. Do not use regular candle wax.
Bonding and Trust in CBT
CBT is more than a physical experience; it can also foster a strong emotional bond between partners based on trust and intimacy. The vulnerability and trust necessary to engage in this practice can lead to a deeper level of connection and understanding. Trust is an essential component of any intimate activity.
Aftercare
Aftercare is an important aspect of any BDSM activity, and CBT is no exception. After engaging in CBT, both partners should take the time to nurture each other physically and emotionally. This can include cuddling, sharing affirmations, or engaging in any other activity that fosters a sense of closeness and connection. By caring for each other after the experience, you’ll strengthen your trust and deepen your bond.
Physical Aftercare
After a CBT session, it’s normal to experience soreness or sensitivity in the genital area. To alleviate discomfort, try the following: Apply a cold compress to the area for 20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and inflammation. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, to manage any pain or discomfort. Wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid any additional pressure or irritation. If you experience any persistent pain, swelling, or bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.
Emotional Aftercare
Engage in self-care activities that make you feel relaxed and comfortable, such as taking a warm bath or listening to calming music. Communicate with your partner about your experience and any feelings that may have arisen during or after the session. This can help strengthen your bond and establish trust in your relationship. Be gentle and patient with yourself. It’s okay to take some time to process your feelings and emotions after a CBT session.
