Beginner's Guide to Bondage Clamps

Pressure is a word that does not usually have positive connotations when it comes to sex. Nobody should ever be put under any kind of pressure to have any kind of sex. Ever! However, that isn’t to say that pressure shouldn’t be a part of sexytime fun, let’s just make sure we’re talking about the right kind of pressure!

That right kind of pressure is the kind you get from pleasure products that put pressure on your sensitive bits and pieces. The toys that squeeze and test your limits. The delicious devices that give a pervy pinch in all the right ways. The best pressure of all is the pressure that comes from bondage clamps.

What are bondage clamps?

Bondage clamps are most commonly known as nipple clamps - but they need not be restricted to use on the nipples! Sure, nipples are a great pleasure centre to enjoy, but you can use bondage clamps on any sensitive area on the body, including the tongue, toes, armpits and many more. Bondage clamps are a variety of different pressure devices that can provide differing levels of squeeze. Predominantly made from metal or silicone, the different shapes of bondage clamps all give a different sensation. Some bondage clamps are adjustable to ensure only specific levels of pressure are placed on the body. And for special sensation, some even come with vibration!

Why should I use bondage clamps?

Bondage clamps serve a very unique role in sex. By focusing intense pressure on specific body parts during sexual play, it can be possible to divert sensation away from the genitals, possibly allowing that person to delay their orgasm longer. By putting so much pressure on different nerves, the brain is forced to concentrate on that situation. Of course, there’s another reason too: they feel great! As people venture into the world of BDSM, many folks discover that they do actually like the sensations of pain. So a little squeeze on the nipples can be a fantastic addition to sexytimes!

Will bondage clamps hurt?

As with any sexual activity, particularly those that fall under the umbrella of BDSM and pain play, yes, there is the possibility that bondage clamps will hurt. But the chances of them hurting are only as strong as the person applying them is careless. If your bondage clamps are adjustable, be sure to slowly set them to the right pressure for you.

If they are not, try them out slowly - don’t just clamp them on the body parts as you would washing on a line. It is a good idea to touch and rub the part beforehand to get the blood flowing in that area.

Are bondage clamps ideal for nipple teasing?

Because our nipples are delightfully pokey and easily stimulated, they are a natural spot to try bondage clamps. Not only do bondage clamps feel fantastic on nipples, but they look pretty damn hot too. Bondage clamps can be simple, one on each nipple. Or they can involve other implements, including chains and vibrators. Chains on nipples can lead to different play and sensation as they are tugged and pulled - this is particularly hot right at the moment of orgasm. Vibrators added to bondage clamps can run at the same time as vibrators elsewhere for amazing orgasmic overload.

How can I use bondage clamps?

As previously mentioned, bondage clamps require patience and skill to use. They aren’t a toy to just try attaching to people’s bits and pieces randomly. If you try that, you’re likely going to have your bondage clamps taken away! Of course, be sure to work out a safeword beforehand!

Rubbing and warming up the sexy bits you want to clamp is essential. In the case of nipples, this will make them erect and much easier to clamp. For other parts, arousal through touch prepares the body to accept this small, delicious amount of pain as pleasure.

An important factor in using bondage clamps is understanding what is happening in the body. As the clamps are applied, endorphins rush to the site to minimize the pain response. Then, when the clamp is released, endorphins are again active, this time flooding the blood with relieving pleasure sensations. One hot trick to try is bringing your partner to the point of orgasm and then just as they explode, release the bondage clamps. The result could be mindblowing.
