7 Best CBT Toys In 2024, Reviewed by a BDSM Educator!

After testing at least a dozen CBT (Cock and Ball Torture) toys, my team and I unanimously agreed that the Stockroom’s Black Wooden Scrotum Pillory was the highest-scoring and safest of them all. Designed by kinky geniuses with decades of BDSM experience and made from handcrafted, premium quality wood, no competitor can compare to its versatility and safety. All of us thought this product was the only choice for anyone into intense genital play—or who wants a fun and pleasurable introduction to it.

Why You Should Trust Us

Hi, I am M.Christian. Beginning in the late ’80s and early ’90s, I’ve tried to experience everything kink-related. From pegging to bondage, caning to breast play—not forgetting trying and enjoying all sorts of different CBT play toys—my time spent as an enthusiastic member of the BDSM community has made me the ideal person to find this year’s best CBT toys.

That said, I also know when it’s important to call on the expertise of others, perhaps even more qualified kinksters, like my product testing team and my highly respected gaggle of clinical sexologists, sex educators, and accomplished kinksters. Utilizing their extensive knowledge as well as my own, we’ve managed to select these seven all-time, top-ranked, highest-scoring cock and ball torture sex toys.

How We Picked The Products

It’s tough enough to try and pick the best of anything, let alone BDSM devices as diverse as ball torture toys, so imagine how challenging it was for me to select not only the seven highest-rated but also the ones we also felt represented all of the unique cock and ball torture types. Daunting, perhaps, but made so much easier after using my patent-pending, five-point test criterion that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. As with all of my roundup articles on this website, we found it made a huge difference when it came to weeding out the good from the not-so-good penis torture devices available today.

What’s even better about my system is you can use it yourself when shopping for your first CBT sex toys—which I’ll get to shortly. But in the meantime, here’s why each of these five was invaluable for putting together this guide to the premier CBT toys.

• Manufacture: For starters, my testers and sexuality experts limited our search to only ball torture devices made by BDSM world-respected companies such as The Stockroom, Lovehoney, or Extreme Restraints. By doing so, we never had to worry our picks would be shoddily made—rather, each would be exceptionally built for comfort, safety, and, particularly, to be amazingly fun and a pleasure to experience.
• Material: Right along with sticking with Extreme Restraints, Lovehoney, and The Stockroom’s world-famous manufacturing expertise, so too by only looking at their cock and ball torture toys, we would also know theirs were made from premium quality, perfectly suitable for the rigors of CBT play, materials like leather, plastic, latex, or steel. I cannot praise materials like soft silicone too much as silicone, whether for cock and ball toys like an anal plus, penis ring, or an erection limiting cage, is a fantastic way to make the scene a pleasure and not a pain.
• Design: Not forgetting the other, equally important reason why Lovehoney, Extreme Restraints, and The Stockroom are recognized masters of all things BDSM-related that the kink community equally regards each of these companies as some of the most highly regarded designers of BDSM equipment. To put it simply, The Stockroom, Lovehoney, and Extreme Restraints don’t just know how to make something out of the right materials, but they also are the most effective when it comes to conceiving and designing them.
• Safety: More than any other factor, Lovehoney, Extreme Restraints, and The Stockroom are frequently considered, especially by kinksters the world over, for creating and building the safest CBT toys imaginable. Clearly, these scene-approved companies understand that, more than anything else, BDSM gear should never put the people using them at risk. While a cock and balls-oriented toy can induce a lot of pleasure, at the first sign of serious pain or a numb cock or balls, you should free them from the toy you are using and see what you can do to make their cock or balls and the rest of their body comfortable.
• Versatility: Though we didn’t penalize any extreme ones created for only a single type of play, we did grant multipurpose models a few additional points, more than anything, because having a CBT toy that can do a lot means people won’t have to buy more than one to experiment with different cock and ball torture experiences.

I started this guide with the seven most pleasure and erection-inducing ball torture toys and with the twenty-five top-selling similar products. After using my above method, I managed to narrow that down to fifteen ball torture devices, a number that was knocked down to a reasonable fifteen once my testers tried them out.

During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. The majority of the total rating comes from Manufacture (30%) and Material (30%). After that comes Design (15%), Safety (15%), and Versatility (10%).

From there, I asked my band of highly qualified clinical sexologists, sex educators, and experienced BDSM players for their opinions. Now left with ten potential candidates, I spent a considerable amount of time checking how favorably or not they were reviewed online. The result was this year’s seven top ball torture toys—each one practically guaranteed to deliver a pleasurable sensation while being as good for novices as they are for extremely experienced kinksters.

1. The Black Wooden Pillory: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why I Love The Black Wooden Pillory:

Created and sold by one of the BDSM community’s most respected, highest-ranked, and most popular companies, my team of experts and sex toy testers voted hands down that The Stockroom’s Black Wooden Pillory is without a doubt this year’s premium quality, top tier, and amazingly well designed and manufactured cock and ball torture toy, ever.

Carefully handcrafted by master-level woodworkers, The Black Wooden Pillory may be a bit on the intense side for those new to the pleasures of cock and ball torture. Still, if ball stretching sounds right up your kinky alley, so this is the model for you—or those of your playmates who are really into it.

The same is true if you or your partner are already familiar with the wild hotness that comes from safely tugging at your or someone else’s balls, then run, do not walk—or more than likely click on over—to The Stockroom and get one of these amazing pillories. Yes, the Black Pillory is that good—if not better.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

My testers and experts didn’t find anything we felt was egregiously wrong or flawed about the Black Wooden Pillory.

However, we all noted that—as I just mentioned—it may not be a great CBT to begin with. But even if this were the case, we all feel it’s well worth picking up because once you do get your CBT feet or balls wet, it’s a toy you’ll probably end up getting and enjoying before you know it.

So if you feel like you may not be up to these new heights of play with your cock and balls, you might want to build a good foundation first with other BDSM toys. You can start checking out other BDSM toys we recommend.

Why The Black Wooden Pillory Is The Best CBT Toy Overall:

Here’s a fine example of a pleasure toy that’s so high scoring, top-ranked, and as brilliantly manufactured as it was designed we all agreed that it, and only it was worthy of our highest accolade, which is being the total and unequivocally this year’s highest-rated cock and ball torture toy.

But that barely scratches the surface of why we all decided it would be at the top of our list:

• Manufacture: When BDSM equipment is made or sold by The Stockroom, you know it’s going to hit all the right marks for being the top-scoring, highest-ranked, and most well-made in the world. No less true than for their The Black Wooden Pillory, which practically screams pleasure—or more accurately, this cock and ball torture sex toy moans premium quality construction.
• Material: As famous as they are for building high-scoring gear, most of which helped establish a new gold standard for offering the highest quality materials. More importantly, The Stockroom understands that there’s a huge difference between choosing, for instance, high-cost materials just to show off or make their toys more expensive and picking the perfect plastic, metal, or, in the case of their The Black Wooden Pillory, wood to make their product as safe, pleasure-inducing and sexually exciting as they can.
• Design: But all of this is moot if the toy they plan to make isn’t constructed from the right sort of materials or if it’s poorly designed. Fortunately, this is yet another reason why The Stockroom beats its competition: because they know everything there is to know about creating a ball crusher or cock ring that, from the drawing board on up, are some of the safest ones they possibly can.
• Safety: The Stockroom’s dedication to quality is only matched by their undying commitment to designing, manufacturing, and using the ideal materials to ensure their products, such as their Black Wooden Pillory, are the safest they can make.
• Versatility: In all honesty, few—as in only a couple—of CBT play devices are capable of being safely used on different parts of your or someone else’s body. But that doesn’t mean The Stockroom’s The Black Wooden Pillory isn’t versatile. Rather, it’s quite the CBT Swiss army knife as, when fitted to a person’s scrotum, it’s capable of opening up all sorts of hot, steamy, and especially sexually wild erotic adventures. Overall, our testers rated this product as the most versatile on this list.

Features:

• Material: Hand Polished Wood
• Measurements: It’s Slightly Less Than 20″ Long And One And .25″ Wide. It Can Comfortably And Safely Handle Balls Up To A Little Less Than 2″ In Diameter And Wrists No More Than 2″ Thick
• Colors: Black, Silver

Pros:

• It’s crafted and sold by The Stockroom, a legendary manufacturer of super high-quality sex toys, cock rings, ball crushing and BDSM equipment.
• It’s a handmade CBT sex toy made by people with many years of experience in all things kinky.
• It’s intense yet amazingly safe and comfortable.

Cons:

• It might be a little too much for CBT novices to handle due to how tight it feels when applied to someone’s cock and balls.
• It only comes in black.
• It’s made from real wood, so the Black Pillory may require extra care to clean or maintain.

2. Oxballs Squeeze Ball Stretcher: Our Budget Pick!

Why I Love Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher:

Deceptively simple yet phenomenally exciting, Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher is the end-all-be-all when it comes to giving you or your partner’s balls a good, old-fashioned stretch.

If that gets your motor going, you’ll be extra happy to know the Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher is not only one of the safest models of its type, but this CBT sex toy sells for the shockingly low cost of just $19.99.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

Say what you want, but trying to find someone, anything bad to say about Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher isn’t what my sex toy testers, my team of sex-related experts, and myself isn’t what you’d call a good time.

Not that playing with the Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher was in any way unpleasant, far from it, but this product was particularly challenging to say what’s not fantastic about this top-ranked, high-scoring cock and ball torture toy. Push comes to shove; I guess we could say it may, for those seeking a much more aggressive stretch, be too loose and stretchy for that kind of play.

But if you consider yourself leaning on the more experienced side, then you might want more “oomph”. If so, then introducing electro play in your repertoire might be the perfect thing for you. For those who are interested, check out this best electro-sex toy list.

Why Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher Is Our Budget Pick:

When all’s said and done, I sincerely doubt you or anyone else could find such an exciting, pleasurable, enjoyable, and why it’s here on our list, the most affordable gear anywhere.

But costing less than similar CBT sex toys is one thing, but this one also wouldn’t be our number two pick if Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher weren’t also one of the most arousing ball crushers my testers and sexperts have ever had the fortune to try out.

Though there’s far more to like about this high-ranked, top-scoring cock and ball torture toy and why we and everyone we know think it’s the bee’s knees when it comes to ball pulling:

• Material: It takes a tremendous amount of skill and knowledge to be able to select just the right sort of material when making a cock and ball torture toy. Case in point, it can’t be too stiff, making it less than comfortable or too flexible, which runs the risk of failing to be exciting. As luck would have it, Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher not only balances between not being too stiff or loose but—to the shock of everyone who tried it—somehow is ten times more arousing at the same time.
• Design: As the only saying goes, making something overly complex is easy, but simplicity is much more challenging. In this spirit, my testers and sex experts want to pat the people who made Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher on the back while thanking them for creating a CBT device that’s so well designed you or anyone else won’t even realize it’s there.
• Price & Value: Oxballs handily won this test category. No other product we tested had such a great balance between price and quality. Hands down the most value for our money on this list.

Features:

• Material: Body-safe plastic
• Measurements: It’s 2″ long
• Colors: Clear

Pros:

• It’s an exceptionally arousing cock and ball torture toy.
• It sells for just $19.99.
• It’s a great pick for novices and experienced players alike.

Cons:

• It may not be intense enough for those looking for extra-intense CBT activities.
• It’s not as durable as other ball stretchers.

Other Good Alternatives

CB-X CB6000S Cock Cage is for anyone who wants themselves or their cock-equipped partner not to have access to their genitalia. Be it for dominance and submission play, intense sensations, or as part of a role-playing experience, Lovehoney’s CB-X CB6000S is the tip-top choice. We at Mysextoyguide liked it so much that we praised it in our five-star review.

The Cock and Ball CBT Pillory is for people who like to mix CBT with hotter-than-hell bondage or bondage scenes. It’s a piece of exceptionally well-made BDSM equipment made specifically to put a slave in their place, which, in this case, is standing at full attention with the genitals clamped up tight.

The Acrylic Ball Crusher may not be for everybody, though if you or your partner like, as in really, really like, to have their or your cock and balls squeezed, then The Stockroom’s Acrylic Ball Crusher may be just what you’ve been waiting for. Made from durable, transparent, body-safe plastic, the Acrylic Ball Crusher is as stylish as it is edgy, effective as it is attractive, and as unique as it is amazingly designed and constructed. Once this one-size-fits-all, metal and plastic cock and balls toy that so many people love is secure, you can then take control of the wearer’s erection or crush their penis to your heart’s content.

Crush Electro Ball Press for when you want to shock your or your partner’s genitals. Created by Extreme Restraints, often a go-to company for anyone looking for premium, high-scoring BDSM equipment, at the flip of a switch, their Crush Electro Ball Press ball crusher delivers a jolt of high-voltage excitement while simultaneously applying an even, satisfying squeezing pressure to the user’s balls.

Spike and Stretch for if you or your partner is into tugging, there’s nothing as handsome and arousing as Extreme Restraint’s Spike and Stretch. It included three chrome-plated weights and a perfectly engineered leather parachute that work together to provide a strikingly attractive look. But, as they say, looks aren’t everything, as the Spike and Stretch are also some of the most exceptionally exciting BDSM gear my team and I have ever used—which says a lot and why it’s here on our list of this year’s absolute top CBT toys.

What Are CBT Toys?

CBT toys are frequently considered to be any product or ball torture device that people use for different kinds of cock play. From penis stretchers, cock rings, penile cages, and types that use electricity or use weights to tug at the user’s cock or testicles safely, it might be easier to define cock and ball torture devices as anything that pleasurable, hits—in a good way—below the belt.

Note: The product above is the Master Series Bolted. During our review, we found the Master Series’ Bolted chastity cage offers an exceptionally well-crafted design for those interested in CBT experiences. If you want to check the full scoop, here’s our best spiked cock ring review.

Types Of Cock And Ball Torture Toys

Talk to anyone into cock and ball torture play, and they’ll gladly tell you there is a vast range of uniquely designed types and styles waiting for you or your partner to explore.

But for the sake of simplicity, here are some of the most common CBT toys and how they can be used:

Stretchers: If having your cock or testicles pulled sounds fun, then you may want to consider for CBT play a stretching toy, including ones with an anal plug, metal parts, extra secure bindings, or a cock ring or two. Though some are simply made of materials like silicone, other, more severe models might use one or more tightly constrictive loops or bindings and some way to tug at the user’s genitals without causing them harm. Stretchers are also known for producing, especially, a stimulating sensation in your or your partner’s body, particularly when used in conjunction with impact toys, urethral sounds, or different kinds of CBT devices. Stretchers may also act like a cock ring in how they restrict blood flow to the wearer’s cock while applying pressure to their balls.

Binders: This subcategory of ball torture toys refers to ones designed to restrain someone’s cock and/or scrotum safely. But even these toys may come in an impressively wide range of ball torture devices, like cock rings, leather or silicone sheaths, and even leather lace-up ones. Cock rings may also fall into this category, especially if they are fitted with metal rings, Mike’s spikes, or anything else which might reduce the wearer’s blood flow. Ball crushers can be part of these and other similar models due to their ability to apply pressure to someone’s private parts. On occasion, a cock ring can act as a binder by limiting blood flow, thus increasing their overall pleasure and causing an exceptionally powerful orgasm.

Cages: Often used by dominants to punish or control their slave, cages are also known as penile chastity devices as they are designed and built to prevent the wearer from getting hard, touching themselves, or, on occasion, inhibiting their ability to urinate while also providing a pleasurable sensation.

If you want to return the favor to your female partner, the female equivalent of male chastity cages are female chastity belts. Here are some of the most popular chastity belts right now.

Combos. Then there are CBT toys that use one or several techniques or technologies at the same time. For example, a cock ring might be integrated into a binding sheath, a scrotum stretcher could be fitted with an anal plug or a cage might be equipped with all of the above.

But Why Should I Use One?

CBT sex toys are great if you or your cock-equipped partner want to delve into the arousing sensation of binding, stretching, erection inhibiting, and a host of other exciting activities. What makes ball torture toys especially fun is there are dozens and dozens of models, each for a similarly large number of CBT play possibilities. If someone likes to be restrained, perhaps a binder or cage would be great to try.

Likewise, suppose your thing is less about being prevented from sexual activity and more into cock and ball sensation play. In that case, I recommend scrotum stretchers, cock rings, or combo ball torture devices a whirl.

Now if you’re into trying some other cock-related kinks, then you might want to try some urethral sound play. I don’t want to spoil any detail but this is perfect for those who want to intensify their sadist-masochist dynamics. Here are our top picks for sounding toys.

How To Use CBT Toys?

Despite standing for Cock and Ball Torture, CBT play should never be about intentionally harming another person. For this reason, I strongly suggest trying simpler, reduced pain ball torture devices and slowly, steadily working your way up to edgier, more extreme designs. As with any BDSM play, nothing should happen until everyone involved has communicated their likes, dislikes, and things they may want to try if turned on enough. It’s also where safe words are set up and agreed to, and essential medical information is exchanged [3].

Because CBT always carries some sort of physical or emotional risk, make sure the people you play with remain in constant communication. It’s also why I steer people away from role-playing during CBT activities, at least not until everyone has a good chance to learn about each other and how to recognize a potentially dangerous situation before it can result in physical or emotional harm.

CBT play is also a form of BDSM play where there’s an ever-increasing risk that someday—maybe not today, tomorrow, or this year, but eventually—something will go wrong. If it does, you and your partner must, at all times, be prepared to act accordingly, like immediately calling for help or rushing the injured person to the hospital. If this sounds awkward or uncomfortable, don’t forget that, one, emergency room personnel have seen everything, so there is no need to be embarrassed, and, two, waiting will only make an injury, even a relatively minor one, ten times worse.

With this in mind, make sure the person you plan on using a cock and ball toy on takes a shower first. By doing so, this shower can help them relax, clean their body, and make them better prepared for the scene to come. As for what sort of pleasure you may derive from an anal plug, cock ring, or Mike’s spikes-equipped CBT toy, well, the sky’s the limit. One thing I like to do is add in a few impact toys, a couple of urethral sounds, an ice pack or two, or other tools of the kinky trade to really up the ante. But keep in mind you have to be careful when playing with an ice pack, urethral sounds, or anything with Mike’s spikes, as with these and similar gear, as it’s far too easy to get lost in the moment and forget what you are doing.

More great tips, one of which is this great way to increase pleasure while minimizing pain, that is to use a cock ring or anal plug, especially when either is made of soft silicone to avoid excessing pulling or causing a painful sensation. Never forget when playing with your or anyone else’s cock, you need to pay strict attention to their blood flow, how the wearer’s body is reacting—and not just if they have or don’t sport an erection. In a similar vein, always monitor their private parts, such as their blood flow, how their balls are being pulled, or if they are in pain.

Once a CBT toy is secure and is comfortable for the wearer’s balls and penis or the rest of their body, you can increase their fun by giving them a tease or two with a different toy or taking control of their pleasure and pain or merely do what you can to make them feel good.

How To Clean CBT Toys?

Never try to clean any CBT toy without first checking to see what its manufacturer recommends on their site. Being familiar with doing so or using inappropriate cleaning methods could ruin whatever you’re attempting to wash and might even result in the next person to use it suffering from a variety of painful skin conditions as the way to a possibly deadly toxic shock reaction.

On the slim chance you can’t find out how to properly maintain your CBTs, follow the BDSM rule that a little goes a long way. For instance, you want to use an extremely small amount of unscented, mild antibacterial soap and warm, never excessively hot, water to rinse your cock ring, cock cages, or anal plug, followed by thoroughly drying it with a lint-free cloth.

Be sure and clean your cock ring, anal plug, and any urethra devices you plan on using during your pleasure or pain-based scene before playing and after you’re done. If you do, you severely reduce the possibility of a urethra infection, a cock, and ball experience that’ll deliver less pleasure and more pain, as well as an unpleasant sensation or two, or three, or more than you or your partner could count.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are CBT Toys Safe?

When used correctly by someone who understands how arousing CBT toys can be as well as accepts and is prepared to do whatever’s necessary in an emergency, they can indeed be safe to use. However, you and anyone you play with must never let your guard down; instead, always be on the watch for when fun might turn to tragedy [2].

But if you have other BDSM gear and you strongly believe that prevention is better than cure (which is actually true), then it’s high time you get some safety shears for you and your partner. You can check some of the most effective safe shears right here.

How To Make CBT Toys?

Under no circumstances should you or anything else attempt to make your own ball torture toys. That said, things like shoelaces and clothespins are acceptable, but only if a pair of emergency scissors is always at the ready. For more complicated or elaborate ball torture toys, it’s far better to buy from kink-community-recognized manufacturers like Extreme Restraints, Lovehoney, or The Stockroom—all of which are famous for producing the most well-made, safest products money can buy.

What Lube Should I Use?

There’s no single lube that’s ideally suited for cock and ball torture play. I say this because it really depends on what activities and what toys you plan on using. For instance, if you want to integrate anal penetration into your scene, you might want to use an oil or silicon-based lube. However, water-based is fine if that’s not something you plan on doing. All in all, choosing the right lube often depends on personal preference, so discuss what to use beforehand or ask your playmate or partner to bring their favorites.

Pro tip: For those who are looking for anal penetration BDSM-related toys, the matchmade from heaven toy for you guys would be anal hooks. Anal hooks can be employed to intensify anal sensations while maintaining the submissive in a fixed and uncomfortable, vulnerable, or humiliating posture or position.

How Long Can I Wear Them?

As there are such a huge number of different ball torture toys, it’s tough to say how long they can be used. Though most kinksters agree that constrictive gear like cock rings shouldn’t be left on for more than fifteen or twenty minutes. Cages, on the other hand, can be left on for much longer—but only as long as its manufacturer recommends. In my opinion, Scrotum stretchers should come off after ten or fewer minutes, depending on the user’s experience level [1].
