The human body is covered in erogenous zones that make sex play exciting – erotic sensations are not solely confined to genitals.
We are all different in our preferences, but a good number of us enjoy the feeling of nipple stimulation from gentle touching to full-on clamps.
What Are Nipple Clamps?
They sound painful, and they can be if you like that, but nipple clamps are just simple pinching devices that squeeze and restrict blood flow to the nipples.
They are fairly common and you can easily pick them up on the internet or in high street sex shops.
There are different types of nipple clamps to enjoy:
- Tweezer Clamps
These look just like tweezers used to remove a splinter, but they have rubber tips to avoid actual injury.
Tweezer clamps are adjusted by a metal ring that slides up and down the arms. Push it high for lots of pressure and lower it for relief.
They can be attached to a chain for extra stimulation too.
- Clover Clamps
These are also called Japanese Clover Clamps. They are bulkier and therefore heavier than tweezer clamps and because they are spring-loaded bite together quite forcefully.
Often they’ll have a ring on the base which you can add weights to. They look a little like BBQ tongs.
Add a chain or other decoration for a personal touch.
- Crocodile Clamps
Another spring-loaded nipple clamp, but this is much like a clothes peg. The better versions have adjustable clips so their pinch can be altered.
We’ve all used crocodile clips to hold stationary together – these take it one step further!
- Vibrating Clamps
Basic clamps often designed in the clothes peg style to accommodate the battery, but with the exciting addition of vibration. These can be great fun if you like varied nipple stimulation.
Why Use Nipple Clamps?
Nipples are packed full of nerve endings that feel good when they’re stimulated, however it can be difficult to get your hands in the right place during sex. Nipple clamps provide hands-free breast and nipple stimulation for you and a partner.
Nipple clamps squeeze the skin which forces blood out. Many folks find this pain and pleasure feeling irresistible. After a while, the area becomes numb and removing the clamp creates another erotic sensation as blood rushes back into the nipple sending the nerve endings into over-drive.
They also look great. Nipple clamps are available in every style you could possibly think of, there are even nipple clamps with integral necklace, penis, or vulva ring attachments.
How to Use Nipple Clamps
If you aren’t sure about clamps but feel intrigued start with a simple household clothes peg. If you enjoy the sensations, try them elsewhere – the scrotum skin and vulva are popular choices.
Once you know that nipple clamps do it for you, start with a simple set of tweezer clamps because these are the most adjustable. Build up the pain until you like it. If you want more stimulation pull the chain that connects them.
If you find you prefer the sensation of weight on your nipples rather than pinching, invest in a heavier chain.
Nipple clamps are safe if you don’t use them for too long – it’s best to remove them if you’ve gone numb.
Nipplegasm, anyone?
The Nipplegasm exists according to those lucky enough to experience one! I have never managed to rearch orgasm from nipple play but I know women who have. Apparently, matching up a vaginal and nipple orgasm is “to die for.”
Scientists suggest that during nipple play the hormone oxytocin is released which encourages genital blood flow and vaginal contractions, so who knows you might be in for a good time.
Both men and women can enjoy nipple play and as with all sexual exploits you just have to experiment to find out what you like. If you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom nipple clamps are an easy, scare-free way to get started.
