The power of American nipple clamps or 'Americans'
“The power of American nipple clamps or ‘Americans’“ was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.
Clamps come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and clamping strengths. From soft fluffy pom-poms to fierce alligator clamps. And everything in between. Today the focus is on American nipple clamps, also known as butterfly clamps, 'Amerikaantjes' and (in America itself) also known as "Japanese nipple clamps". They are all the same kind of clamp, though.

Scissor-shaped clamps
The American nipple clamps are scissor-shaped nipple clamps that clamp down even harder when you hang a little weight from them. Because of the small tips, these clamps give a nasty pain. Nasty, and that is exactly why they are so much fun, but perhaps a bit less suitable for the beginner sub. Give the other person the chance to build up a bit, instead of coming in straight away with the heavy artillery. These clamps are in fact a bit more painful than most other nipple clamps (and especially more painful than clothes pegs).
Connected with a chain
The clamps are often connected with a chain, which expands the options even further. You can have your sub follow you willingly, because he really won't be putting up a fight. He would only be making things needlessly difficult and, above all, painful for himself. The clamps only get tighter when they are pulled.
Variations
You can also buy American clamps with weights. You can imagine that this is double the fun, because the clamp is pulled tighter by the weight and the weight itself makes it more intense too. And then there are also nipple stretchers with those American clamps. They can give you those beautiful SM nipples!
You can of course limit the clamps to the nipples, but why would you do that? The clamps work perfectly well on the scrotum too, or perhaps you know another fun spot yourself. But whichever spot you choose, always keep in mind that you shouldn't leave them on for too long (wherever you put them).
Easy to use
The clamps are easy to use. You squeeze them open and put something (of your choice) between them. Whether that's nipples, labia or a scrotum, it all fits and it all hurts nastily.
