Like a little manhood pain? For many guys, the answer is an emphatic “No!” or “Not on your life!” But for men who are into certain preferences, the idea of a little pain – or perhaps more than a little – is a turn-on. Consensual manhood pain is part of the sensual lives of some couples, but since it can have an impact on male organ health, it’s wise for those who participate to take proper care that the pain doesn’t cause actual damage.

To be perfectly accurate, most practitioners of consensual manhood pain include the sacks as well as the member in their sensual play. They typically refer to their activity as CBT.

What is involved?

Basically, CBT can involve any activity that produces some consensual degree of pain in the manhood and/or sacks. Sometimes this can be very “light” – for example, tickling the member and sacks is considered a form of CBT. But often the activity produces actual pain in varying degrees. Some ways in which CBT is practiced include the following:

• Slapping. A partner slaps the male organs and sacks with their hands. This can be done with playful slaps or with heavy slaps.

• Squeezing. Practiced more often on the sacks, CBT squeezing can also be applied to the member. The pressure exerted should be at least sufficient to cause a modicum of discomfort.

• Strapping. Leather goods are often used in CBT activities. Tying up the body parts in question – rather tightly - with thin strips of leather is common.

• Lashing. Sometimes leather can have other uses. Whips or lashes are sometimes involved in CBT play.

• Caging. Often CBT includes putting a man’s member in a sensual deprivation cage. This device, typically made of metal or plastic, is inserted over the man’s flaccid male organ and then locked so that it cannot be removed without a key. The cage includes an opening for urination, but it is tight enough that it makes tumescence painful.

• Beating. When slapping isn’t forceful enough, a man may enjoy some beating. This can be accomplished with a partner’s fists or with an object, such as a paddle.

• Teasing and denying. Not all manhood pain comes from extreme physical contact. Teasing and denying involve stroking or otherwise stimulating a man’s member until he is almost ready to release seed and then stopping and not allowing him to proceed further. This usually is repeated over and over, with the manhood pain coming from the desire to almost release seed but not being given the satisfaction.

For those who decide to engage in CBT with a partner, it’s important to take certain precautions. First and foremost, there must be an acceptable level of trust between the participants. No matter how involved the role-playing, the man being pained must be certain his partner will not go too far and will stop when asked. For this reason, it’s good for “safe words” to be established beforehand, to be employed if the pain should be lessened or stopped altogether.

CBT activities should also be of limited duration, about 20-30 minutes at most. When an activity ceases, a guy may have a dullness or numbness in his member and sacks. If pain continues after activity has been ceased for 5 or 10 minutes, he should consult a doctor.

There is always a risk with CBT activities. Those who consensually choose to engage in them should be aware of that risk.

Manhood pain, whether consensual or not, can often be eased by applying a soothing male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to the manhood. Moisturizing agents can help make the skin feel better, so select a crème with both a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). In addition, choose a crème with L-arginine, an amino acid which helps to keep male organ blood vessels open and flowing; loss of circulation can sometimes be an issue with CBT, so helping expand blood vessels is recommended.
