Pussy torture

Pussy torture (also known as vagina torture, cunt torture or female genitorture) is a BDSM or sexual activity involving the application of pain or pressure to a vulva or vagina, typically in the context of sadomasochism. It is sometimes considered to be an analogue of cock and ball torture. Pussy torture is meant to be done consensually in the case of BDSM. The recipient may take part in order to provide pleasure to a sadistic dominant. Another motivation is to receive masochistic pleasure from the activity. Mild examples of pussy torture sometimes occur in conventional sex, while the more extreme ones are usually kink practices.

Genital stimulation produces sexual arousal and can do so even if that stimulation is painful. Stimulation that would produce mild sensation elsewhere in the body can be very intense if applied to the genitals. Physiologically the practice provides changes in blood flow to the genitals and releases endorphins and hormones. Some techniques are very dangerous and unsafe and many carry significant health risks, and hence adequate precautions need to be taken. Information on safety issues is often obtained from experienced practitioners or from BDSM training workshops. The dominant performing pussy torture on the submissive can be of any gender.

Activities

Pussy torture is applied through activities such as:
* using wax play to drip hot wax onto the labia or clitoris, but not into the vagina. Wax that is designed for this purpose is commercially available, and it is safer than some other types of wax. This technique combines erotic torture with sensation play.
* biting, squeezing or pinching the vulva or labia
* erotic electrostimulation using general electro-play sex toys or ones specifically designed for the vulva.
* play piercing can be applied to the vulva, typically using needles to pierce the labia. Rows of needles through the labia minora can keep them stretched apart to expose the vaginal opening, or a row of needles through the labia majora can hold them together. Labia piercings are sometimes sewn up or tied together for erotic torture purposes.
* figging (inserting peeled ginger root into the vagina) Peeled ginger root is also sometimes held against the clitoris or rubbed onto the vulva.
* using genital clamps, either ones specifically sold for this use, repurposed nipple clamps or household clothespins. These are attached to the labia majora, clitoral hood or the base of the clitoris to restrict blood flow and are then released. The labia minora can be clamped tough they are too thin for some types of clamp. The clitoris itself can be clamped using a clitoral clamp designed for the purpose or a light clip can be attached to it. The clitoris and labia swell upon arousal, which increases the intensity of the clamping. Clamps attached to the labia can be used to pull them apart to expose the vaginal opening. The clamps can be attached to straps or chains, a suspender belt, or a bondage rope harness. The effect of clamps can be intensified by using weighted clamps or weights attached to standard clamps. Predicament bondage scenarios can be played using genital weights or by attaching the clamps to bondage cuffs.
* impact play applied to the vulva such as spanking or slapping (by hand or with a spanking paddle), whipping or caning. The sensations produced can be pleasurable as impact play on the vulva increases blood flow to the genitals and gives a stinging sensation. Pussy torture typically makes use of more intense or prolonged impact play.
* spreading the vaginal opening. This is often done manually but using a speculum for this purpose can provide erotic humiliation or be part of a medical fetish.
* tying a crotch rope between the legs, using either a single tight line or a split line consisting of a pair of ropes running either side of the genitals. The former is designed to stimulate the genitals while the latter leaves them exposed for BDSM play. A tightly tied crotch rope can cause pain due to its pressure, while a looser one can stimulate the genitals with friction. A crotch rope is typically secured by being tied round the waist but it can be attached to the wrists, elbows, ankles or hair of the submissive. Alternatively the free end of the rope can be held by the dominant for use as a lead or leash or suspended from the ceiling. Vibrations can be transmitted to the genitals by attaching a vibrator to the crotch rope, and the clitoris can be stimulated by placing a knot at that point in the rope. Other bondage materials such as chains or leather can be used instead of rope.
* rope riding, which makes use of a horizontal rope fastened to two fixed points or held taut so that it runs between the legs of a standing submissive. The higher the ends of the rope are, the greater will be the pressure on the vulva. Movement along the rope can be used for abrasion play.
* fastening a ring or clasp to the labia or using labia piercing rings to induce pain.
* inserting pins through the labia
* inserting fingers or a hand ( fisting) or other objects into the vagina (for example, a large dildo or vibrator) in order to stretch it.
* using a vaginal hook (a curved BDSM tool, typically metal, similar to an anal hook). The short end is inserted into the vagina and long end positioned along the midline of the body. There is usually a ring at the long end for attaching a rope.
* attaching a chastity belt. Some these have built-in dildos or vibrating or pulsating abilities.
* using a sex machine
* shooting a water shower onto the genitals
* producing forced orgasms using a vibrator that has intense vibrations, typically a strong wand vibrator that is tied in place so that it continuously vibrates the clitoris. Alternatively orgasm denial can be practiced. Devices such as Ben Wa balls are also sometimes used to produce forced orgasms.
* prolonged seating on a wooden horse or on a sybian
* applying suction to the labia using a pussy pump or to the clitoris using a clitoral pump. These pumps increase the blood supply to the areas involved, enlarging and sensitising them for BDSM play. A similar effect can be obtained using erotic cupping. This technique, in which cups, bowls or bells are used to create suction on the skin, is similar to the cupping therapy used in alternative medicine. The sensation can be erotic, and as with the use of pumps, the drawing of the blood to the genitals can make the area more sensitive once the equipment is removed. Erotic cupping can also cause pain and leave bruised marks on the skin.
