This was something I didn't know about myself prior to my current relationship, and now that I do know, it's actually been a source of comfort and relief to me to finally have this revelation.

I know the facts, and I know that it's actually common for women to just not be as sensitive as others, and I know that it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with me… but when you are making out with your boyfriend, and he's paying very close attention to your breasts because he wants you to enjoy the experience, yet you can barely even feel him, it's very hard to hold onto that way of thinking when you are sitting there feeling so inadequate.

Well, eventually he suggested that I try a pair of nipple clamps that he had picked up somewhere, and although I wasn't really expecting much of anything, I had already been wondering about it, since I had noticed that the harder he bit, sucked or pinched, the more of a reaction I had. He was still hesitant to go too far with rough breast play or nipple torture as at this point as we were still learning my limitations, but the clamps had entered into more than one conversation, so I finally asked to take them home with me so I could try them out on my own.

Well, the experience was mind blowing, to say the least. I was actually quite amazed at how the darn things seemed to have a direct link to my clit, and the arousal and stimulation that I received almost instantly was shocking. They did in 30 seconds what the Hitachi couldn't even do sometimes on high in ten minutes. I was sold.

The clamps that he had given me however weren't very high quality, so when I was making some purchases recently, I spent some time going through the nipple clamp section and zeroed in on these. They're made by Spartacus, so need I say more? I also loved the way the chain looked and I knew the added weight of the links would feel incredible. And since I wasn't sure if I was going to like the clit clamp or not, then the fact that the clit clamp is detachable was also a plus.

The nipple clamps are great. As I've already said, it's amazing to me how the intense pleasure/pain of them quite literally makes me wet within just a couple of minutes, even without any other stimulation or foreplay. I will never, I repeat, NEVER be without a set of nipple clamps as long as I live, and if that isn't a ringing endorsement, then I don't know what is.

These are an absolute necessity in my book. It's not just the strength of the clamps – which are adjustable so even someone with very sensitive nipples is going to enjoy them as they can decide how tight they will be – but I can be on my back with them on, then roll over onto my hands and knees, and the weight of the chain swinging forward and tugging on my nipples will create entirely new sensations that will have me catching my breath.

Standing up or walking around with them on will be a new test in endurance, and after a few minutes of them being on, you can slowly loosen the screws in the clamps to make them tighten down further to cause the clamps to bite down and increase stimulation. Tugging on the chain – or having someone tug gently on the chain for you – is an erotic experience that words can't describe. Especially if you happen to be tied down at the time, and his mouth is also on your nipple at the same time the clamps are.

But it took me a little while to get up the guts to try the clit clamp. I had already used these six or seven times before I finally re-attached the clit clamp to them as I just didn't think that was going to be something I was going to like.

Oh, I SO couldn't have been more wrong.

Two words… amplified vibrations. You might be wondering what I mean by this.

What this means is, that when I put the clit clamp on – which turned out to be more comfortable then I would have ever thought – and then I use a vibrating toy at the same time, the metal of the clamp conducts and amplifies the vibrations, but the vibrations aren't quite in synch with one another…which means it feels like you have a second vibrator clamped tightly around your clitoris. This was not something I was expecting, but it makes sense if you think about it.

I used the Hitachi while doing this, and I had one of the most intense orgasms of my life. All the pinpoint stimulation I'd ever wanted with a vibrator, I finally got with these clamps. It's just one of those little revelations in life that makes you look at the world in a whole new light! Wrapping the chain around a fist and tugging gently means you will be tugging on all three clamps at the same time or back and forth between them while you are reaching orgasm.

I found that the best position for the clit clamp was clasped tightly on either side of my clitoral hood. Since the skin there is so thin to begin with, it actually doesn't hurt like I was thinking it would. Any closer to my body and I hit the actual bundle of the nerve endings underneath the skin and that just hurts and I wouldn't recommend that for fear of causing damage. It also almost functions like a cock ring on a man, in that I noticed increased swelling of the hood and actual clit underneath where the clamp was placed, which also increased the sensation of the orgasm.

Since discovering just how much I’ve enjoyed this set of clamps, my boyfriend has been exploring nipple play/breast torture with me in a more involved fashion, and I’ve been loving every minute of it. But it has also been making my breasts, and particularly my nipples, more sensitive as time has gone on. Which means that now when he touches me, I will actually have a sexual reaction immediately, even if he’s still being gentle and we haven’t gotten to the point of rougher play yet. To have gone from not being able to feel them at all to reacting almost instantaneously to even the softest touch has been an incredible journey for me.

To be able to touch my own breasts and feel myself react to the sensation has been a gift.

I know these clamps have had a huge part in that. The awareness I have of my body has increased and become enriched by the addition of them to my toy box. For that alone, I couldn’t be more satisfied. I’m looking forward to many more years of playing with them.

Simply put, GET THEM. I seriously doubt you’ll be disappointed. Even if you are more sensitive than I am, they’re adjustable, so if you don’t want as much bite as some women do, then you can easily set the level of stimulation you receive from them.
