Overview of Introduction to CBT


CBT is all about the range of type and intensity of sensation and emotional response.  From the bottom's perspective of “good sensation” to “tormenting sensation”, the genitals are a microcosm of the entire body.  

Jack Rinella told of a dungeon party where he watched a woman applying lube to her bottom's penis, varying the speed, the strokes, bringing him almost to orgasm, letting him subside, just her hand and lube, for about an hour.  That's the most basic form of CBT I can think of.

There are a ton of cock and ball play toys: clips, rings, straps, weights, presses, violet wands – and the list goes on and on.  They're fun to have, but you really don't need them:  Hardy Haberman, in his first book, The Family Jewels, described a wonderful scene done with just a pair of shoe laces.  all are nice to have, but if you're just starting out, a bit of rope works wonderfully).

So let's look at what we can play with to generate control, humiliation, sting, thud, and “surface sensation” – almost everything you can get out of CBT.

There are going to be nerve bundles, large and small blood vessels, and various structures which are off limit for play of any type, such as the epididymis, which joins the testicle to the vas defrens.  There are also types of play which can cause tremendous damage to the area:


  • Torsion -  A very uncommon occurrence where the spermatic cord gets twisted, impairing circulation to and from the testicle.  This is a get to the ER right now injury; if not taken care of within a four hour time period, the testicle will die and have to be removed.  As a consolation prize, there is a testicular prosthesis, called a “nuticle”, that looks and feels the same to anyone but the wearer.

  • Rupture- The testicles were built to take, or avoid, a good bit to pressure.  That doesn't mean that they can be squashed indiscriminately –  eventually something gives.  If the testicle blows out, well, once again, you've got a surgical candidate for a nuticle.  Don't ever put pressure on a testicle top to bottom; think about squashing a lima bean.  The testicle is much stronger in width than length.

  • Hematoma – Damage to the epididymis or the smaller structures such as the vas defrens or spermatic cord will be suddenly excruciating and once again, to the ER for evaluation of what kind of damage has been done; tearing, bleeding, damage to the structures themselves.

  • Fractured Penis –  The penis has two large spongy inflatable structures, called the corpus cavernosa, which are the hydraulic lifts that create an erection.  If the penis suddenly runs into something hard, the cover of the cavernosum can be broken.  Once again, a trip to the ER.  Though it looks horrible, with both the penis and the balls swelling and filling with blood, it's generally readily fixed. Explaining how you broke your dick is likely to be a bit harder, but be honest.
  • Hernia.  Never yank down on the scrotum.  Though brilliantly designed to avoid and endure blows, and sustained pulling, testicles don't respond well to sudden yanking or extreme weights.    
  • Marks.  Remember that some infernal devices will leave marks and bruises.  

Make certain that YOU as the top leave instructions that the bottom is to call at once, if concerned about anything, and check in with your bottom the next day to make sure everything is OK. 

In Introduction to CBT

CBT, or cock and ball torture, is improperly named.  Not all attention to the CB area is torture; what CBT is all about is sensation.  From the bottom's perspective of “good sensation” to “tormenting sensation”, the genital area can be looked at as a microcosm of what can be done to the entire body.

Once the safety check is complete, and your bottom is positioned appropriately (restrained, in stirrups, on a table, etc), the top then is at liberty to do.....whatever the top does so well.

There are a ton of cock play toys; cock rings, cock straps, cock weights, cock and ball rings, etc.  some are perfectly smooth but tight, some are spiked but tight.  Hardy Haberman, in his first book, reported that once he and another man had the most wonderful scene with just a pair of shoe laces.  So your gear need not be the most sophisticated stuff you've seen on JT's Stockroom or penile plugs or chastity cages(all are nice to have, but if you're just starting out, a bit of rope works wonderfully).

Safety Follows Nature
there are going to be nerve bundles, large and small blood vessels, and various structures which are off limit for play of any type, such as the epididimous, which sits atop the testicle, the spermatic cord, vas defrens, etc.  There are also types of play which can cause tremendous damage to the area:

  • Testicluar torsion-This is a get to the ER right now injury.  One testicle somehow gets twisted up in its spermatic cord/vas defrens structures which will reduce circulation to the testicle.  If not taken care of surgically within a four hour time period, the testicle will die and have to be removed.  As a consulation prize, a testicular prosethesis can be inserted later, called a “nuticle”.  Looks and feels the same to anyone but the wearer.
  • Testicular crushing- The testicles were built to give a good bit to pressure.  That doesn't mean that they can be squashed indefinitely; eventually something gives.  If the testicle blows out, well, once again, you've got a surgical candidate for a nuticle.  Don't ever put pressure on a testicle top to bottom; think about squashing a lima bean.  The testicle is much stronger in width than length.
  • Damage to the epididimous or the smaller structures such as the vas defrens or spermatic cord will be suddenly excrutiating and once again, to the ER for evaluation of what kind of damage has been done; tearing, bleeding, damage to the structures themselves.
  • Last but not least, of course, is a fractured penis.  The penis contains two large spongy inflatable structures called the corpus cavernosum, which is the hydralic lift that causes erections to both occur and dissapear.  If the penis is suddenly run into something hard, it can fracture the cover of the cavernosum.  Once again, a trip to the ER.  It will look horrible, because both the penis and the balls will fill up with blood, causing swelling.  Fortunately it's an easy fix.  Explaining how you broke your dick is likely to be a bit harder, but be honest.


Handling the jewels.
It's a lot of fun to play with the cock and balls.  You've got three moving targets; they were designed to move up and down, in and out, depending on the weather or other demands of the body at any given time.  Most men need to re-arrange the furniture several times a day, at least.  Just by haivng your subject get naked will be fun to watch as the balls move up and down, adjusting to the tempurature.  The penis, of course, can either be a grower or a show-er or a combination of the two. 

  • Never reach out, grab the scrotum and yank down hard.  That will likely damage your toy and you'll have to refer to the safety section and the pesky hospital again.  There are plenty of ways to play with the scrotum and balls, holding them closely, squeezing, gently pulling down a bit, slapping, biting, twisting, pinching, etc.  If you don't have any toys at all, the hands and the mouth can make a scene to remember.
  • Remember that the penis skin is very thin, has lots of veins both in and under the surface, and bleeds very nicely if you hit the right place with  fingernails, needles, small floggers, slappers, clips and other infernal devices.  If you're going to start putting bruises on a penis, have something available to mop up blood.
  • Do not ever stuff “just” anything down the urethra.  It's an opening into a sterile body area, so make sure of just how clean that vibrating sound or sound is.  Avoid giving your bottom a UTI; they are miserable to live with til the doc can see you and your bottom won't be happy with you at all.
  • If you are goinging to stick anything into the skin or the urethera, make sure to do a good skin prep; three wipes with tecknicare, iodine or alcohol on the area you're going to play with.
  • Make sure your sounds are as clean as they can be; if possible find a friendly and knowledgable tatoo shop which will sterilize them for you.  Yes, you can do just an alcohol soak for at least an hour, which is ok, but the best is sterilization.
  • For insertion into the urethera, use a small sterile pack of lube on a steril pc of gauze.
  • Always get a history of the urogentiary tract, STD's, any surgeries in that area of the body and when were they....any allergies to seafood, iodine, nickel, latex.

Control & Humiliation
Nothing puts you as firmly in charge as having a man tied by the balls.  Whether walked by a “leash”, tied to a weight, or just bound tightly, the message is clear sent.  And even more clearly received.  Add a few Halloween decorations, pink hearts, and you've got the beginning of a good humiliation scene.  A simple way to bind is the Larkshead cinch:

Lark's Head Cinch

  1. Create a loop in a length of rope.
  2. Holding the loop in front of the “column” (in this case the scrotum), pass the loose ends behind the “column”.
  3. Pull the loose ends from behind the column
  4. Pass the loose ends through the loop, tighten ...
  5.   … and feed the loose ends back behind the column …
  6.   … and pull the loose ends out from behind the column …
  7.   … and through the original loop.  Tighten again.
  8. Take each loose end and pass it over the two adjacent strands.
  9. Pass the loose ends under the two strings and up adjacent to the original loop.
  10. The loose ends can now be tied off to something, used as a “parachute”, make a “whirlybird”, further bind the bits – there are an unlimited number of options.

   
A word to the wise 

When ever you tie someone up, ask yourself what will happen if that person faints or some part of the equipment fails.  Clearly, if you've tied someone's testicles to a fixed point on the ceiling, the consequences could be spectacularly bad.

Sting
Just as you can slap, spank, flog, cane and otherwise beat the body, so you can to the jewels, with adaptation. Smaller weapons of mass destruction such as a small slapper, a stingy flogger, shish-ka-bob skewers; anything that is smaller that lends itself to better accuracy of aim.   The whole package is sensitive to “sting”, particularly the underside of the penis.  But it's amazing how much more sensitive the upper thighs are to sting than the jewels, so don't whack the thighs but so much.  Unless, of course, that is what you both like.

Thud
“Connoisseurs” of pain distinguish between “sting” and “thud”, with thud being a deeper, achier pain.  It takes about 30 seconds to become such a connoisseur, and most people have a marked preference for one type of pain over the other.  “Thud” toys tend to be heavier, causing more energy to be carried deeper, where sting toys dissipate most of their energy in the skin.  Parts that lend themselves especially well to thud: the testicles.  Punches, kicks, impact toys (repetition is more safely able to generate pain than harder blows), ball crushers and manual compression can all be used to generate the deeper pain associated with “thud”.

Sensation Play
While thud and sting are clearly sensations, “sensation play” is often used to describe sensations created by things other than impact toys (but the definition is quite vague).    Fingernail tips, clothes pins & other clips, BenGay, knife points, hot paraffin, ice are all cheap ways of doing sensation play.  Electrical toys, such as TENS units and Violet Wands, offer a remarkable range of sensations – at a price.

Other Types of Play
Leather parachutes are widely admired.  However, they are made out of a stretchy material, leather.  After being tugged on while sweaty, after awhile the fit is gone and the parachute is now a dangerous toy capable of maiming a ball.  I used a rope parachute with a fairly thin cord that I buy in large amounts- just cut off what you want for today and then voila! Cheap and disposble (or a gift to the bottom it's used on) custom tailored parachutes.

  • Make a Lark's Head, then loop it around the whole package or just the balls, then bring it back over itself.  It doesn't make a knot, but it is going to stay in place.  Cinch it down snuggly, so it doesn't slip.  Both ends should be dangling down.
  • Then go around the package once and tie a square knot in the back.  About halfway to a third of the way down the thigh, make another knot.  Now you have a hanger created and from that you can hang..whatever fits. Plus if you pull down on it, guess where your bottom is going to go- very quickly!
  • There are plenty of the hang a bucket on the parachute games; either have everyone put in a penny in the bucket, or fill it with water a bit at a time.  Once as full as your bottom can handle, have him walk around with his load.
  • Or just use fishing weights.

Flogging the jewels: Most of the floggers for the larger parts of the body are more than too much for the jewels.  Instead, get some smaller implements of mass destruction, such as a small slapper, a stingy flogger, shish ka bob skewers; anything that is smaller that lends itself to better accuracy of aim.   It's amazing how much the jewels can take that the upper thighs can't, so make sure that whatever you use, you don't whack the thighs but so much.

If you enjoy knife, tempurature, chemical play, that'll work too. Below are some more types of play. Depending on how you like to play, most, if not all of this can be done without restraints, unless it helps to create the mood of “Oh Shit!  No escape and I've really let myself in for it this time!”

  • Ball crushing
  • Ball crushing toys
  • Electrified toys
  • Tens vs ErosTeck
  • Sharp play; needle designs for the penis and scrotum, vibrators
  • Violet wand play; specifically the cock ring
  • Ball/penis weights- especially the made to size ones
  • Ball and penis slapping
  • Ball busting bare foot, or with shoes; safe angles for either hitting with hands or feet.
  • Ball busting with implements such as big stick, socks filled with substance.
  • Predicament CBT using rope, rope and clamps, etc
  • Medical instrument temporary piercings.
If you come away from here with only a few ideas, please remember this- never ever tie up the genitals as a primary suspension point.  There have been some extremely unpleasant stories about men who were suspended improperly who lost as little as one testicle all the way up to one gentleman who lost his life.  This last story took place in a ProDomme's dungeon, someone who is supposed to know how to do this kind of play safely
