A Simple Guide To Clamps

A nipple clamp is a clamp used to stimulate the nipples by applying varying degrees of pressure. Its basic principle relies on restriction of blood flow to the erect nipple. For self-use, successful application requires the user to find a personal balance between the amount of pain and pleasure by fine tuning the degree of pressure exerted by the clamp. The clamps are typically used in pairs and connected by a chain. Weights may be hung from the clamps to increase the force on the nipples. This also discourages the clamped person from moving suddenly (for example, jumping when spanked or caned), since this would make the weights swing and increase the pain. Another variation involves a separate chain attached to the chain connecting the nipple clamps. The other end of this chain is connected either to a clamp to be attached to the clitoris for female or a cock ring for male. This variation is known as the "Y clamps" for the shape of the chain linking all 3 connection points when attached to the body.
