Genital clamps are something everyone should have; you can use them for pleasure or pain during any type of scene. Any gender can use genital clamps before or during play.

What are genital clamps?

Genital clamps apply pressure to the genitals by restricting blood flow, and pleasure is experienced when the genital clamps are used through the clamp's pressure and then again when the clamps are removed from the genitals. You can use genital clamps on the scrotum, labia, or clitoris. Genital clamps can be used during solo play or with a partner, and they can even be worn underneath clothing when you are out.

Genital clamps come in many different styles; typically, they are spring-loaded and have rubber tips to prevent any damage to the genitals. You can also opt to get clamps that are weighted or with adjustable tensions to add more pleasure. You even get genital clamps that vibrate.

If you are new to genital clamps and want first to see if it is something you like and want to include in your play, try clothespins first, they apply very similar pressure and can easily mimic the desired effect of genital clamps. If you prefer instead to buy genital clamps, consider buying smaller, lighter clamps initially first to get used to the feel and always pay attention to the type of material to avoid any possible skin allergies.

How to use genital clamps

Once you have bought your clamp or clothespin, first test it out on less sensitive areas so that you can get accustomed to the feel of it. Before placing it on your genitals, you first want to get aroused; you can masturbate or have your partner warm you up with oral sex to get the blood flowing in all the right areas before placing the clamp on your genitals. It might feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but it should not be painful.

You can have penetrative or oral sex while the genital clamp is being used; the clamp should be removed just as you are about to orgasm; try not to pull the clamp off but by opening it.

It is vital to bear in mind that even though this is a versatile clamp used for sexual play; if it is misused, you can cause damage to your genitals; only use it on areas that it is intended for by placing it on other areas you could cause nerve damage. Weights can also tear the skin if too much weight is added to the clamp.

Never over-tighten the clamp or wear it for prolonged periods as blood flow is essential to sensitive areas like the genitals. Pay attention to your skin tone and remove the clamp immediately if you see a change in color, as you could easily cause nerve or tissue damage.
