Safety- and comfort-wise, you may want to get turned on before donning nipple clamps, since sexual arousal can help transmogrify pain into pleasure. It’s fairly simple to pick up, too, since it doesn’t require as much specialty equipment or niche knowledge as some kinks do-all you need is the clamps and a willing pair of nipples, and they provide hands-free fun so you can play with some other sex toys. Sadomasochism pairs well with kinky power games, like nipple play, if you want to try dominance and/or submission on for size. For many folks, the nips are an erogenous zone, and sucking, flicking, or pinching them can bring pleasure like no other. But for those who want to partake in a little BDSM, there’s still fun to be found in (consensually) inflicting pain on a partner. If you’re grimacing at the very thought, then maybe nipple pain isn’t for you. The endorphins released in response to pain can feel downright drug-like, especially in combination with the already-heady exhilaration of pleasure and intimacy. Sometimes a consensual twinge of pain-think some Fifty Shades of Grey-type stuff-is exactly what’s needed to take things from good to great. If you’re a beginner looking for some nipple clamps, then good on you.
