A Basic Introduction to Breast Bondage

Breast torture, also known as breast bondage or tit torture, involves the acts of tying up and/or inflicting pain on female breasts, male or female nipples and areola for sexual gratification. These acts range from the mild form to a much more extreme form. The mild typically includes light biting, pinching, clamping and/or paddling. These are taken up to the severe forms which include caning, electricity, cutting, piercing and even being hung by the breasts.

Breast torture has been employed for many many years as an actual form of torture. Many torturers used it to get confessions from women including the women admitting they were witches. But I’m not here to discuss breast torture negativily, but to talk about it in a consensual, positive, erotic light. Even the Kama Sutra, back in 300 B.C. discusses the whipping, biting and pinching of the breasts and nipples.

As in most BDSM sessions there is one dominant person and subordinate and although they both enjoy the experience they are obviously there for different reasons. Plus, the duration and intesity of any sort of BDSM varies greatly, where the limits tend to be set by the sub. Some enjoy clamps, whipping, biting, etc… and the intensity level can range all the way up to burning, scarring, cutting and more. Sub’s enjoyment tends to come from different sources, one is the feeling of being completely out of control and at the whim of the dom and the second is the pain itself, high amounts of endorphines and adrenaline are released during the session, providing the sub with a sense of euphoria. Whereas the dom gets his or her enjoyment from the act of humiliating, dominating and inflicting this sexual pain on the sub.

The sensations that the dom can experience range through all five senses.

The visual of seeing the sub’s breasts tied up or clamped or put in any painful position. Watching as they bulge and become discolored.

The feeling of crushing her breasts in the dom’s hands, feeling the breasts squeeze between his or her fingers or the feeling of pinching the nipple strongly.

The smell of the victim as she sweats from the pain, or the smell of the hot wax as he or she pours it over the swollen nipples.

The salty taste of sweat on the tortured breasts and nipples.

Listening to the moans and groans as the dom tortures and punishes the woman’s breasts and nipples, for many this is a very powerful sense.

Most BDSM play, breast bondage being no exception, is based on living out the more intense fantasies that many people experience. With the addition of many different sex toys and other bondage products that are now readily available, everyone, in the privacy of their own home can now safely engage in BDSM play of all levels. Some of the bondage gear and products used are:

Nipple clamps – many of you, both women and men, may have already experienced nipple clamps. These sex toys range from the soft, adjustable style to the more hard core that have no padding and sometimes have small teeth to really pinch the nipple.

Flagellation toys – in addition to clamping the nipples and breasts many enjoy their breasts to be slapped in some way, common products for this are whips, canes, paddles and your own hand.

Rope – often wrapped tightly around the base of the breast to cut off some circulation, creating a bulging, discolored breast.

Needles – usually used in more extreme breast bondage, needles are used to pierce the nipple, often comletely through and out the other side.

Temperature play – Burning or freezing the nipples, often used are lighters, ice, hot wax, etc…, quickly switching from one temperature extreme to another will cause a very intense sensation.

Other sex toys can also be used during bondage, often used during light Bondage play where ’sex-like’ sensations from the genetalia are much loved to balance out the severe feelings from the bondage play. Many girls use vibrators or dildos, hands-free vibrators such as butterfly vibes work fabulously, and for manymen, using male sex toys is popular, some of the best being Fleshlights.

A final note on BDSM, breast bondage is but one small part in the entire BDSM spectrum. The intensity can range from gentle with very little or no pain all the way up to incredibly painful and even physically scarring. There are many social web sites on the Internet if you would like to explore any of BDSM’s fascinating features.
