A genital clamp is a type of wearable sex aid worn on the genitals either before or during sex. People of any gender can wear genital clamps. They can be used as a form of sexual pain/pleasure during a BDSM scene, worn as an additional piece of jewelry, or just to increase sensitivity.
How Do Genital Clamps Work?
Genital clamps work by applying pressure to the genitals and restricting blood flow in this area. The wearer feels pleasure when the pressure is applied and again when the genital clamp is removed and pressure is released. Genital clamps can also make parts of the genitals more accessible for stimulation. Genital clamps can be applied to the base of the clitoris, labia, or the skin of the scrotum.
People may apply genital clamps to themselves or to their intimate partners who want to wear them during foreplay. They may apply them in the privacy of their home or wear them out, underneath their clothes, to add a sexy twist to date night.
Which Genital Clamps Should I Buy?
There are a number of different styles of genital clamps. Many of them are spring-loaded metal clips with rubber tips to prevent serious injury.

If you’re ready to try commercial genital clamps, do your research carefully. Think about the material, weight, and size of the clamp.
