Cock and ball torture (CBT) is a sexual activity involving the application of pain

or constriction to the male genitals. This may involve directly painful activities,
such as genital piercing, wax play, genital spanking, squeezing, ball-busting,
genital flogging, urethral play, tickle torture, erotic electrostimulation or even
kicking. The recipient of such activities may receive direct physical pleasure via
masochism, or emotional pleasure through erotic humiliation, or knowledge that the
play is pleasing to a sadistic dominant. Many of these practices carry significant
health risks. As a form of general CBT, ball-busting is when a man has his
testicles kicked, kneed, punched or squeezed. In addition to its occasional role in
BDSM pornography, Tamakeri (玉蹴り and/or ball-kicking) is a separate genre in
Japan. Like many other forms of CBT, it carries significant health risks, including
the possibility of permanent damage to the testicles through testicular trauma.
Another member of the CBT club is the ball stretcher, which is a sex toy used to
elongate the scrotum and provide a feeling of weight pulling the testicles away
from the body. This can be particularly enjoyable for the wearer as it can make an
orgasm more intense, as testicles are prevented from moving up. Intended to make
one's testicles permanently hang much lower than before (if used regularly for
extended periods), this sex toy can be potentially harmful to the male genitals as
the circulation of blood can be easily cut off if overly tight. While leather
stretchers are most common, other models consist of an assortment of steel rings
that fastens with screws, causing additional but only mildly uncomfortable weight
to the wearer's testicles. The length of the stretcher may vary from about 1-4
inches. A more dangerous type of ball stretcher can be home-made simply by wrapping
rope or string around one's scrotum until it is eventually stretched to the desired
length. The most debilitating yet arousing tool for CBT is the ball crusher, which
is a device made from either metal or often clear acrylic that squeezes the
testicles slowly by turning a nut or screw. How tight it is clamped depends on the
pain tolerance of the person it is used on. A ball crusher is often combined with
bondage, either with a partner or by oneself. There is also the parachute, which is
a small collar that fastens around the scrotum, and from which weights can be hung.
It is conical in shape, with three or four short chains hanging beneath, to which
weights can be attached. Used as part of cock and ball torture within a BDSM
relationship, the parachute provides a constant drag and a squeezing effect on the
testicles. Moderate weights of 3–5 kg can be suspended, especially during bondage,
though occasionally much heavier weights are utilized. Smaller weights can be used
when the male wearing the parachute is free to move; the swinging effect of the
weight can restrict sudden movements, as well as providing a visual stimulus for
the dominant partner. And lastly, to further restraint he participant in a BDSM
make-out, there is the humbler. For the most part, it consists of a testicle cuff
device that clamps around the base of the scrotum, mounted in the center of a bar
that passes behind the thighs and at the base of the buttocks. This forces the
wearer to keep his legs folded forward, as an attempt to straighten the legs even
slightly pulls hard on the scrotum, causing considerable discomfort. A testicle
cuff is a ring-shaped device around the scrotum between the body and the testicles
which when closed does not allow the testicles to slide through it. A common type
has two connected cuffs, one around the scrotum and the other around the base of
the penis. They are just one of many devices to restrain the male genitalia. A
standard padlock may also be locked around the scrotum; without the key, it cannot
be removed. Tickle torture is the use of tickling to abuse, dominate, harass,
humiliate, or interrogate an individual. More specifically, the one being tickled
may laugh despite whether or not they find the experience pleasant. In a casual
tickling situation, laughter can indicate a panic reflex rather than a pleasure
response. Tickle torture may be a consensual activity or one that is forced,
depending on some circumstances. Consensually, tickle torture may be part of a
mutually fulfilling, physically-intimate act between partners. Forcefully, tickle
torture can cause real physical and mental distress in a victim, which is why it
has been used as an interrogation method or to simply show dominance over another
person. In China, their ancient form of tickle torture was practiced by the Han
Dynasty Chinese; the torture was a punishment for nobility since it left no marks
and a victim could recover relatively easily and quickly. Ancient Rome also
practiced tickle torture by dipping a person's feet into a salt solution; this
torture would only start as tickling, but would eventually become gruesomely
painful. As a bonus, goats were involved to lick the salt after the torture is
over. And now, you are officially an expert in general Cock and Ball torture
knowledge.
