The possibilities of nipple torture

“The possibilities of nipple torture” was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.

What is meant by nipple torture is undoubtedly clear to everyone: the torture or torment of the nipples. It is also referred to as nipple play or nipple torture. This torment can be inflicted in many different ways. The most obvious ways are, of course, biting, sucking, pinching with your fingers, or applying nipple clamps. But there are many more fun things you can do with nipples…

Nipples are one of the erogenous zones of the body. This applies to both women and men. They are more sensitive than many other parts of the body, which is why they’re so much fun to play with. It’s even possible to reach an orgasm through nipple stimulation. That really says something about their sensitivity.

Nipple torture and safety

Nipple torture is one of the most popular activities in BDSM. However, this does not mean it is risk-free. Improperly placed nipple clamps can cause nasty cuts, and incorrectly applied bondage can cause damage. The chafing of rough rope causes scarring, and if you regularly engage in intense nipple play, internal scar tissue can lead to permanent nerve and tissue damage. So the same rule applies to nipple torture: keep your wits about you! The sub may suffer, but they don’t have to be broken.

Methods of nipple torture

Nipple clamps

Nipple clamps come in all shapes and sizes. In fact, you can use just about any clamp for this purpose. However, it is important to test the clamping force beforehand. After all, there has to be something left of those nipples. Do you find the clamps aren’t enough? Then you can also hang weights from them. Do not leave nipple clamps on for longer than 20 minutes. If necessary, remove them sooner.

Nipple pumps or cupping

Special nipple pumps or breast pumps are available. These make the breasts and nipples even more sensitive. The suction can be used to cause nipple erections. You can also achieve this by pulling on the nipples.

Don’t have a nipple pump on hand? Then you can also use cupping. With cupping, you create a vacuum in the space beneath the cup. Cupping originates from Chinese medicine and has been used there for centuries. Within BDSM, it is used to increase erotic tension by drawing blood to the skin, making the skin more sensitive once the cups are removed. Larger cups provide more suction, making the sensation even more intense. Be careful, though, because if not done properly, it can leave bruises on the skin.

Wheel of Pain

The nipples can also be effectively stimulated with a Wheel of Pain. These small wheels are available in various designs. Use them with care, as the skin on the nipples is thin and sensitive, and the wheel of the Wheel of Pain is sharp.

Temperature play

The nipples are perfect for temperature play! Think of warm wax alternated with ice cubes. Watch out for blisters; the wax must definitely not be too hot.

Fingers and nails

For many subs, fingers and nails are the real deal when it comes to nipple torture. And the great thing is, you always have them with you! Gently caressing, roughly pinching – with or without using your nails. It all feels different, and that’s why the variety makes it such an intense experience. You basically don’t need clamps or other toys for this.

Needle play

Inserting needles through the nipples can also be part of nipple torture, though this is, of course, a very specific experience that not everyone will be open to. But if your partner is a fan, you can even insert the needles in “layers,” with the pricking parts overlapping each other.

Magnets

Magnetic balls may seem fairly harmless on the nipple at first glance, but they are definitely not. Magnets are drawn to each other, even through the skin if necessary. So they will constantly exert pressure to embrace each other. However, some magnets are so powerful that they cause a great deal of pain immediately upon application. Not suitable for every sub, then.

Whips

Nipples can also be spanked perfectly well with a whip! For this, it’s best to choose a horse riding crop, with a flat tip, so you can aim very precisely at the nipples.

Electro

Of course, the nipples can also be stimulated with electrical currents, for example using special nipple clamps for electroplay. But… and I’m putting a very big BUT here, because electroplay affects the muscles, and the nipples are close to the heart—and the heart is also a muscle. You certainly don’t want your electro play to affect the heart rhythm, so it’s always safer to keep electro play below the belt and thus leave the nipples – when it comes to electro – nice and alone.

Chemical play

When it comes to chemical play, don’t immediately think of hydrochloric acid or other dangerous substances. With this element of play, think more along the lines of products like Tabasco, peppermint oil, or tiger balm. These substances have a spicy effect on the sensitive nipples. Be careful with these, though, because once they’re applied, they’re not easy to remove. After all, the substances are absorbed into the skin and must then wear off on their own.
