Ball Press
What Is a Ball Press
A ball press, also called a ball crusher, is a device designed to apply controlled pressure to the testicles. It typically includes two flat plates placed on either side of the scrotum, connected by a screw mechanism that allows precise adjustment of compression.
Ball presses can be made from metal, wood, or high-density plastic, depending on the desired weight, durability, and ease of cleaning. The purpose is to create a controlled sensation of pressure rather than injury.
How a Ball Press Is Used
Within the BDSM community, a ball press is often used as a consensual tool for power exchange. A dominant partner typically operates the device, deciding the level of compression while ensuring the submissive’s safety and limits are respected.
This type of play can serve as:
-
A form of sensory control, heightening awareness and trust.
-
A method to reinforce roles between dominant and submissive partners.
-
A way to explore pain and pleasure balance under mutual consent.
When used correctly, a ball press can create intense physical and psychological sensations while maintaining control and safety.
Safety and Best Practices
Because this device applies direct pressure to sensitive tissue, safety is essential:
-
Always use a safe word and check in regularly.
-
Start with light pressure and adjust slowly.
-
Avoid extended sessions or sudden tightening.
-
Clean the device thoroughly before and after each use.
Some users may also combine a ball press with bondage restraints or anal stimulation to enhance the experience, but this should only occur with full trust and consent.
BDSM tools like the ball press are about communication, control, and consent—not harm. Used responsibly, they can strengthen connection and trust between partners.
