Breast Bondage, Nipple Bondage, Electric Tit Torture
Discusses breast bondage, nipple bondage, tit hanging, and electric tit torture

(Continued from Breast Punishment Primer - Part 5)

The Ties That Bind

The third most popular torture surveyed (taken in a pseudo-somewhat-scientific poll with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.614%) is breast and nipple bondage itself. 

Breast bondage and nipple binding can be done for a variety of reasons - using tits and tips to secure your helpless victim instead of tying their wrists and ankles; wrapping your favorite breast or nipple just  for looks, either because of the squeezed appearance or because they tend to resemble a variety of edible fruits as they darken; or in order to inflict a more subtle pain as sub-space approaches.  Regardless of the reason, breast binding, like clamping and flogging, remains very high on the woody scale among the majority of BDSM fiends.

Sometimes, tying your favorite torturee by the wrists and ankles just doesn't have quite the appeal or intellectual challenge that tying them in other ways might.  Sure, they won't escape from a well-tied set of knots around the limbs, but keeping them in place with the fear that attempted escape might divest them of their most prized possessions has its own pleasant appeal, don't you think? 

<>You can either tie them using the whole breast method, giving them every reason to think their ripe, purple melons will burst if they struggle, or, for the truly adept, you can ruthlessly bind a pair of nipples so that every hope of freedom rests on their being stretched beyond tolerance or popped free of their breast like a wine cork straight out of Napa Valley.

A lot of people get into tit and nipple binding for the look.  Frankly, the color purple just does it for a whole lot of folks out there.

When you're trying to make 'em resemble fruits you need to remember a few things, though.  First, fruits were made to look like fruits for a long time, at least until they're eaten.   Breasts, on the other hand, should only look like plums and nipples like raspberries for short periods of time.  Depending on the expert you consult, the color purple in a breast can signify one of two things.  The first is that only the skin has been deprived of oxygen, in which case it can go for upward of ten or fifteen minutes, during which time you can lather it with whipped cream and bob for apples for a while.  The second theory is that not only are you keeping the healthy red stuff from the candy coating, but you're also depriving

<>some of the inner stuff we're supposed to be careful with.   Our private pseudo-scientific survey aside, I haven't been able to find any scientific studies of bound breasts.  Common wisdom suggests that you not leave bosoms wrapped in such a state for longer than five minutes.
Tied nipples on smal breasts.
A good rule of thumb would be, if a nipple looks pretty much like an everyday nipple, you have most of the day ahead of you.  If it starts to look a little like a raspberry, you might want to start limiting the time a bit.  If it begins to resemble a blueberry, I'd say your time is running thin, and if blackberry is the first word that pops from your lips during a word association game, it's time to introduce your little friend to the world of new blood, pronto - and get ready for one of those ear-piercing squeals.   Oh, and folks, it doesn't count if you've covered them with whipped cream to the point that you can't tell the color, you're still responsible for licking them clean enough to check.

A neat little trick that we developed early on in our quest to find things that were a little different is one that we like to refer to as "meatballing."  Meatballing a

nipple actually refers to binding them so that you include as much of the areola as we can, instead of just the the nipple.  This balls up all the dark parts into one delicious bite, much like a meatball.  Meatballs have the advantage of giving you something to play cowboy with that isn't quite as sensitive as the just nipple itself, yet has the nipple at your disposal.  Meatballs are great to use when you're in the mood for a combination of effect. 

You have plain meatballs, clamped meatballs, and pierced meatballs.  Add your favorite topping and you have, meatballs a la mode, honey-glazed meatballs, and don't forget the ever popular spaghetti and meatballs.  True, the sauce might be a little messy, but there's nothing better than biting into a tasty morsel covered in Ragu.

Breast suspension or tit hanging.

One of the great mysteries and fantasies of breast binding is known as breast suspension, otherwise known as tit hanging.  It's the ultimate rush for folks that simply want some sweet young thing to hang around a while longer.  If you ever find a sub that'll do this, hang on to her.  Suspend everything else you want to do and take advantage of her rare gifts.  Dangle whatever payment she wants in front of her.  Swing... Are you groaning yet? 

We'll if not, she will be.  Breast suspension looks like a lot of fun for everyone.  She's secured completely by her tits, they turn about the color of midnight in the Sahara, and she is totally helpless against whatever else you might want to do with her, most frequently a liberal application of some low impact flogging device.

Contrary to popular opinion, there are many women that have tried this, and have made it to sub-space as fast as if they'd taken the Concorde from one side of Rhode Island to the other.  So with that in mind, let's talk, shall we?

Rule number one is to remember that "Booby is only skin deep."  If you and your exuberant partner are going to try this, the key is to try to make certain that all of the weight that is being taken on by her breast doesn't put significant pressure on the creamy insides.  This is not an easy task.  Take it very slow.  In fact, the safest way to accomplish this is to make sure she has more fail-safes than most nuclear weaponry deployment facilities.  It's always better to create a rope harness that'll let the rest of her fine upper torso share some of the weight, instead of just wrapping her two darlings all by their lonesome. 


Even better still, you might want to harness her and shackle her wrists so that she can choose to help support her weight by her arms if need be.

at her own pace until her breasts begin to take up the burden.  Be ready to jump in the moment she says, "Whoa, Hoss!" or blurts out whatever safe word she's whispered lovingly into your ear.  Finally, remember that you're as responsible for her well-being as she is, even if she tells you to slap the horse out from under her and dangle her by her tits like soap on a rope.  Once breast tissue and supporting things are separated from the chest wall, you've messed up big time and added about thirty years worth of sag to your lovely partner's tatas. 

If you're one of those folks that doesn't read the instructions, we'll cross our fingers for you and the little lady. We've heard and seen a few that have dangled in sub-space with nary a worry, and we're certainly not trying to rain on your personal little parade, but you never know what time might drop in your lap later down the road.  In the words of some TV show person from years ago, we can only say, "Be careful out there."


! - Are you even surprised at this exclamation point?  Let's see... you risk nerve and tissue damage if you decide to leave rubber bands, ropes and other bindings in place too long, even with the simplest breast or nipple binding.  Keep in mind that any binding of the nipples and areola, particularly with rubber bands or other deep-biting constrictions, will tend to deaden the area the longer the binding is left in place.  If you combine the binding with something else, such as piercing, clamping, or biting, it's very important that you take this in consideration when guaging the potential for damage. 

Always err toward caution whenever the breasts or nipples begin to change color or become cool to the touch.  Better several short sessions than one long one.  If you decide to add to the binding by engaging in some flagellation, make certain that you use a low-impact device.  Binding the breast removes its natural ability to shift on impact and compacts the tissues so that any hard blow can intensify any damage that may occur.

As far as breast binding is concerned, you're looking at internal stress, rupturing and stretch marks if you play ride-'em cowboy with suspension.  Even if it seems like everything's a go, you may be causing problems.  If you don't pay attention to the warnings and instructions, you often break things.  Frankly, we recommend against ever using breasts as the sole means of suspension, ever.  If you decide you just have to try it, make certain that the person behing suspended is physically fit and not overweight.  The heavier the girl, the greater the risk of injury.  'Nuff said? 


Igniting the Spark

Thinking about adding a little juice to things are you?  Electricity is nothing to fool around with boys and girls, but if you're willing to invest some money on the proper gadgets and develop a knowledge of how Reddy Kilowatt ® works, you have the makings of one hell of a screaming orgasm.  If you'd rather cut corners and experiment without reading up on things, you have the makings a liberal application of prescription burn ointment to parts that weren't intended to be french fried - at best, and some really scary CPR practice, an embarrassing explanation to the local constabulary and paramedics, a pair of gut-wrenching notes from her family's attorney and the local D.A. - at worse. 

Girl with nipples being tortured with electricity.

There are three ways of using electricity on titties safely and with confidence.  The first two involve gadgets that can be a little expensive, but are well worth the money.  The third is fairly cheap, but a bit more risky.  We'll talk about all three just because we're completists, but we're giving you fair warning now, if you decide to go the bargain basement route through door number three, they're your tits - don't blame me. 

Now, if you don't learn anything else about electricity, learn this: 

Current travels from a positive terminal through a conductor to a negative terminal.  If the positive terminal is on one side of the nipple, and the negative terminal is on the other side of the same nipple, then you get juice that runs from one wire, through the nipple, to the other wire, zapping everything in between

with fairly safe certainty.  Yep, the skin is the conductor.  Now, let's say we place one wire on one nipple and one on the other nipple.  I mean, they look like little battery terminals, don't they?  It only makes sense, right?  WRONG. 

Remember what your conductor is... the skin.  That said, where is that electricity going?  Down one of the hill twins, across the chest, up the other hill twin into the nipple.  But what lies just to the left of the center and about three or four inches out of sight beneath the golden valley between the hills.  It's called the heart.

Stay with me here.  Now, what some folks don't know is that the heart is run by electricity, and if you introduce a foreign electric current into the heart, you disrupt its natural current creating what?  You guessed it, a heart attack.  100 out of 100 times that this happens, great sex crashes and burns rather badly, while many out those 100 times you can bank on finding yourself wearing steel bracelets and unfashionable striped clothing for making your partner into one of the formerly living.

True, if you use the gadgets we'll be taking about, the current isn't all that great, a whopping 12 volts or less to be exact, but would you want to risk your plaything's life, your freedom outside of bars, and your choice of gender orientation when you can really do a much more ruthless job safely?

And would you even think about zapping the standard 120 volts (or whatever passes for garden variety household current in your neck of the globe) through your own chest?  That's right, don't even think about it.

So, now that we've learned the basic no-nos of electrical play, let's look at how to go about french frying titties and nipples safely in the comfort of your own home or back yard.

The first gadget we'll be looking at is called a TENS unit. 

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator.  They are used to control muscle-related pain by sending variable electrical pulses through the muscle tissue in order to stimulate muscle contraction and relaxation.  In layman tit torturer's terms, they shoot concentrated electrical jolts wherever you want to shoot them through, nipples and breasts would be my guess here.  Of course it didn't take long for some budding sexual genius to make a leap of logic and start to apply these gismos in an orgasmically-related manner.

TENS units come in all sorts of configurations, but you'll be looking for one that has four little wire electrodes that plug into a box that has a couple of rheostatic controls.  Rheostats are the controller knobs that increase or decrease the amount of current that goes through the wire electrodes.  With the unit, you can hook up a pair of luscious boobs and, with only a twelve volt battery, make them dance to the music.   The units I've used come with little pads that stick on to the skin after the electrodes are inserted into them.  Once the sticky pads are in place, you turn the rheostats and, voila, you're cooking with electricity. 

The TENS unit send out pulses as often as you like, from about a second and longer; in strengths that you like, from a mild little teasing tickle that will get your baby humming to a sizzling nipple-crackling and back arching jolt. 

There's no reason you can't get a little creative with your new toy, folks.  Those little sticky pads wear out, get boring, and aren't real good about strategic placement at times.  If you don't mind buying some extra wires, you can strip the little rods off of the end of the leads and get really inventive by replacing them with alligator clips.  Clamp the positive sides somewhere into her unsuspecting areola and let the negative sides feast on her nipple and then crackle as desired. 

Or if you care to be a little different (and a touch less sadistic), wrap a wire around her nipple and attach one lead to the end of the wire and the other to her fleshy battery terminal with a less toothy clamp, say a bodkin.  Then just give her a buzz.

Any way you fry it, you can tease both breasts at once without any of your new love voltage drilling through heartbreak valley between the mountains of despair and into her heart, if you get my drift.

Violet Want for breast torture.

Gadget number two actually uses charged electric particles instead of regular current.  These play toys, called Violet Wands, resemble vibrators on steroids and have all kinds of futuristic looking attachments that glow and look a lot like those sparky things that mad scientists use in all the old horror movies. 

Violet Wands "transform" standard household current through what is called a Tesla coil.  The fun end of the wand is a detachable glass tube filled with Argon gas.  When Argon is excited by a high voltage, it glows

with a purple color, hence the name Violet Wand.

Because the electricity is going through the glass attachment there isn 't a direct connection from the nipple or breast of choice to your wall outlet, which, as another person once said, "is a good thing since you want her eyes to be wide open, not popped out of their sockets."  Unlike the TENS, which is made to travel into muscles, the Violet Wand is designed to stimulate skin. So, by and large, it is pretty safe.  You want to keep it away from eyes and out of orifices, and you might keep in mind that it can still leave a tender breast with something resembling a nasty sunburn if you over do it.  Keep the Solarcain nearby.

The last semi-acceptable way of adding spark to your romance is through the use of a low voltage and low amperage battery powered transformer like you'd find in a kids battery powered train set.  Have you caught the emphasis?  You do not ever want to try anything that plugs directly into a wall socket, even a transformer. 

"But, Mr. Nicholson, Sir, one low-voltage transformer's as good as another, isn't it?"

Nope! 

What do you think might happen if the gizzards of a wall-socket transformer

Electricity tit torture.

should melt down while your lady's tits are hooked up like Frankenstein's daughter?  That comfy 12 volts would probably jump right back up to the ugly 120 volts, that's what.   Remember the notes I mentioned earlier from the family attorney and the D.A.? 

You can use a low-voltage battery-powered transformer with a rheostatic control pretty much the same way you'd use the TENS unit.  If you strip the wires so they're exposed, you can attach one to some kind of nipple clamp, put it on the appropriate nipple and brush the other wire lightly around the same nipple, areola, or white meat.  There are all sorts of variations on this theme, but remember what I said at the beginning of this electrifying chapter - this one is still a little riskier than the others because the others are designed to do what they do.  Make sure you play with one nipple at a time and you should be O.K., but even so, you do it at her own risk, bucko.


! - Did you even need to ask?  I would hope that we've covered the extreme risk that you're dealing with if you use anything remotely resembling household current.  Many BDSM clubs won't even allow electrical play of any kind above the waist, battery or no.  Make sure you know what you're doing.  Make sure you use a low voltage, low amperage device, and make sure that both your wires stay on one breast or the other.  I repeat, NEVER do anything that allows current to travel from one side of the chest to the other.  NEVER, NEVER EVER!  Get it?!  Also, just because you're doing all that right, electricity will still burn.  As with anything I'm talking about, listen to your partner. If she squeaks the safe word, or you hear that special yelp that means, "Oh, shit," stop!
