COCK AND BALL BINDERS

Cock and ball binders are a form of male genital bondage. The cock-ball binder may be purchased as a ready made male bondage item, or made at home from improvised materials. A length of cord is all that is need to restrain penis and testicles, although it is easy to pull cord binder too tight. This can result in physical injury, so great care should be taken. Penis-testicle binders come in a variety of forms. The four main types are: the cock-ball strap; the ball stretcher; the cock ring; and the parachute. Slightly less common is the humbler and the testicle cuff. All forms of cock and ball binder should be removed immediately if there is any pain or feelings of coldness. They should never be used by men with cardiovascular problems, diabetics, or anyone using blood-thinning medications such as warfarin or clexane.
The cock and ball strap is usually a rubber strap system with closures, or a stretch to fit, pull-on rubber strap system. These come is various design options with different numbers and locations of straps depending on the required effect. Most binders of this sort include a ball separator that passes between the testicles. This makes it very easy to lick and suck each testicle individually. Shaven testicles are the ideal for this sexual activity. Rubber cock-ball binders have the advantage of being one size only, as they can stretch to fit any size of penis and testicles. Cock and ball binders are sometimes known as a triple cock ring, or a triple crown. One role of the cock and ball binders is to prevent the action of testicle retraction during orgasm. This has the effect of intensifying orgasm.
The ball stretcher is a sex toy that is intended to elongate the scrotum. Ball stretchers tend to be made from either leather or steel. Rubber ball stretchers are less common as the material used needs a high degree of rigidity. Once again, great care needs to be taken in order to avoid physical damage. Ball stretchers can elongate the scrotum by as much as 10 cm, although new comers should not be so ambitious. In addition to scrotum stretching, the metal ball stretcher also applies weight to the testicles. Leather and rubber ball stretchers can achieve this affect by adding weights.
The cock ring, or c-ring, is a device that is usually positioned at the base of an erect penis. Its primary function is to reduce blood flow. This has the affect of maintaining the penis erection for longer periods than may usually be possible. Some cock rings also have a protruding stimulator. For heterosexual couples this can stimulate the clitoris or anus during vaginal intercourse. For gay couples, it can stimulate the receivers perineum or scrotum. Some cock rings also incorporate small vibrators called bullet vibrators. Depending on their position, these bullet vibrators can stimulate the wearers penis and testicles, or the receivers scrotum and perineum. Most cock rings on pull-on devices made from either natural latex, or silicone rubber. Cock rings can also be included in rubber underpants to help maintain the penile erection. In this application, they are usually called potens rings. Use of cock rings tends to delay orgasm, resulting in intensified orgasms.
The parachute is a conical shape collar that is fastened around the scrotum. It is usually made from leather and often has three or four chains attached the wider opening at its base. Weights can be attached to these chains to increase the pull and squeeze on the man's testicles.
The testicle cuff is a milder version of the ball stretcher. It is not intended to elongate the scrotum, but it does separate the scrotum from the body.
The humbler is simply a testicle cuff that is attached the a bar that is positioned behind the thighs with the legs folded forward. Any attempt to straighten the legs places strain on the wearer's testicles. This can be very painful and there is considerable risk of permanent physical damage.
Cock and ball torture is separate from cock and ball binders, although the two are often performed at the same time. Cock and ball binders are becoming increasingly more common place in the suburban bedroom. However, cock and ball torture is very much in the real of the BDSM practitioner.
