We’ve come a long way from the time of having no more sex toys than a carved dildo, in this day and age we’ve got sex toys, such as the famous Fleshlights, you can also find vibrators, BDSM equipment, such as specialty clamps, floggers, restraints and much more. At this time, I’ll be talking about nipple clamps.

With the increased popularity of nipple clamps for both men and women, the variety of clamps out there has been greatly multiplied. You can find nipple clamps from the most basic and gentle to those that are only used by the more experienced BDSM lovers.

Nipple clamps and their use

Although nipple clamps are designed for the nipple in mind don’t get caught in the mind set that they can only be used on that one body part. Nipple clamps can be used anywhere, a great place for both men and women is the genital region. Even the clitoris can be a wonderful place for an adjustable clamp.

When using nipple clamps on the nipples you should first make sure your nipple is nice and erect, either through direct manual stimulation or any means that you can imagine, a nice ice cube works wonders. If you don’t know the clamp’s strength you should place them on a bit slowly at first so you don’t get a negative shock which could easily ruin the mood.

The more flesh you get in a single clamp the less intense the sensations tend to be, so when you want a more intense clamp all you have to do is clamp less flesh. Once the clamp is firmly in place you can then stimulate the nipples in many different ways, limited only by your imagination. Possible options for further stimulation are feathers, your partners tongue or finger or you can even use a vibrator for some extra kick. There are nipple clamps out there have attached vibrators, although the intensity is slightly less with these than having a vibrator directly touch the sensitive, clamped nipple, they are still a lot of fun and should be considered.

Many people either have much less sensitive nipples or enjoy seriously intense sensations and pain. For those of you who fall into one of those categories, don’t worry, there are nipple clamps out there just for you. The most basic form is the ‘endurance clamp’, this is simply a non-adjustable nipple clamp that has one setting, high. Once clamped these hold firm and can be pulled on for some extra intensity. There is another type of extreme nipple clamp that has teeth, these clamps typically don’t have any rubber padding and provide the user with a very sharp bite, creating a high amount of pain.

Keeping nipple clamps safe

Much of the pleasure of nipple clamps comes from the fact that the clamp cuts of a certain amount of circulation to the tip, this causes very sensitive nerves, it also means that you should probably not leave the clamp on for much more than 15 minutes at a time. Plus you should probably be aware that the removal of the nipple clamp is usually the most ‘intense’ part of the whole thing, in fact it can be downright painful as the blood goes rushing back.

Just like all sex toys out there you should clean your nipple clamps regularly, they can get dirty and nobody wants to put on dirty clamps. Besides, who wants a nipple infection? Not me.

Everybody’s nipples are different as are their limits, some nipples are very sensitive and some are not, so don’t feel embarrassed if you don’t enjoy as much as your partner.
