What is CBT?

CBT is the English abbreviation for Cock and Ball Torture, or, in other words, Torture of the penis and testicles, and it is a very common practice within sadomasochistic play when a submissive with male genitals is involved. To torture the genitals of a man, in addition to using the hands, there are a multitude of devices expressly designed for that purpose.

The penis is considered a particularly delicate part of male anatomy, but it can be more resilient than it seems and withstand a good amount of punishment without serious risk, although there are specific safety issues that must be taken into account.

Obviously, if we want to hurt a man, the first thing we think of is hitting his testicles, because it is well-known that this area represents our greatest weakness.

Moreover, they are not protected by muscles or bones, making them very vulnerable. And although the penis has more nerve endings, the testicles have more pain receptors, and a very sudden blow can cause stomach pain or a feeling of wanting to vomit.

Apart from the obvious physical sensations produced by hitting the penis and, especially, the testicles, the psychological aspect is also very important. Due to the rampant machismo in society today, for many men, their penis is the center of sexuality and even a symbol of sexual power. For this reason, a blow to the genitals carries a significant psychological burden as well. For example, in some cultures, from ancient times, castration was used for various reasons, mostly religious or social. It was also a practice during war to demoralize and humiliate the enemy, when after winning a battle, some peoples would castrate their prisoners and even the dead.

For all these reasons, CBT is very useful as a means of control, and evidence of this is the fact that Spanish is rich in expressions that associate "not having eggs" with cowardice, and vice versa.

What is the emotion of CBT?

As we have seen, on one hand, there are the physical sensations. The psychological part is very important because it requires a high level of trust to allow a dominant person to torture such a delicate and vulnerable part of your anatomy during a sadomasochistic session.

On the other hand, the dominant person derives pleasure from inflicting pain on someone, and the fact that this pain falls on the testicles and penis, and not another area of the body, adds a sense of control over the "property" and can imply humiliation for the submissive. While some masochists who are not at all submissive may solely enjoy the pain.

The testicles are very sensitive, especially to pressure and manipulation, with caresses and gentle squeezes being a pleasurable sensation in themselves. The limit at which pain starts varies greatly from person to person, so when playing with someone for the first time, it is always advisable (as in many BDSM practices) to start with some type of stimulation and gradually increase the intensity. The testicles are perhaps the most sensitive area of male genitals and one of the most fragile, and it should go without saying that care should be taken when playing.

Castration has been known since time immemorial and was frequently used in certain cultures, such as in Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa, and China, for religious or social reasons. After battles, some peoples would castrate prisoners or the dead to symbolize their victory and "measure" their power.

Some religions, like Judaism, were completely opposed to this practice, although at times they would cut the foreskin of defeated enemies.

In ancient times, in Mesopotamia, during the Assyrian king's reign, homosexual practices were punished with castration. (Source: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castración).

There are many expressions in Spanish that equate having eggs with having courage, such as "he has a pair of eggs" or "putting the eggs on the table," while "not having eggs" indicates cowardice. And having someone "grabbed by the eggs" means that you have them under your control.

It doesn’t change much if we replace the word "eggs" with "cojones." For example, "doing something by cojones" indicates will and determination, while "being acojonado" expresses fear, among others.

To start torturing the genitals, our hands are the obvious weapons: we have precise control over the pressure we exert with them, and they are always available. Slaps, squeezes, pinches, or pulls are just some of the many ways to torture someone with our hands without using other tools. But as most of us like to play and use our imagination, there is a wide variety of toys designed exclusively for CBT on the market.

Always with care to avoid breaks or tears. If the submissive is impaired by alcohol or drugs, they may have difficulty warning us when the level of pain goes from being erotically stimulating to pain that signals possible harm.
