Genital Torture Play

A consensual BDSM practice in which one partner applies controlled pain, impact, pressure, or sensation to the other's genitals, typically using hands, floggers, clamps, wax, or electrostimulation. In romance and erotica it appears most often in formal Dominant/submissive dynamics, where it functions as a test of trust and a route to intense submission or catharsis.
