While we understand the allure of creating your own DIY CBT toys to save a few bucks, you must know that the do-it-yourself route can lead to unexpected mishaps or unwelcome surprises.
Given the rather sensitive nature of male anatomy, it’s essential to prioritize safety, and the wisest choice would be to buy professionally-tested products like Oxballs Squeeze 2-Inch Ball Stretcher. However, we understand that not everyone has easy access to sex boutiques, so we’ve listed some ‘semi-safe’ alternatives below. But, just a friendly word of caution – tread lightly and take these suggestions with a grain of salt, as they might only offer a pinch of safety along with some cheeky charm.
- When venturing into the world of BDSM play, safety should be your trusty sidekick, especially when rummaging through your kitchen drawers for everyday items to repurpose as BDSM gear. We strongly suggest investing in some bona fide, tested, and certified CBT toys. instead. This not only protects your assets (and, ahem, those of your partner) from any unexpected financial setbacks but also promises a more ‘ouchless’ and enjoyable experience.
- But if life’s quirks demand a DIY approach, we’ve whipped up a recipe book of semi-safe alternatives below. Just be aware that these hacks will never be as safe as store-bought products

What Are DIY CBT Toys?
DIY BDSM CBT toys (AKA cock and ball torture toys) are like crafty inventions for giving male genitals a rollercoaster ride of sensations, somewhere between ‘Ouch!’ and ‘Wow!’ People fashion these BDSM alternatives from everyday objects or go all out with custom creations and the main motivation is to save money or customize them to their exact needs.
Note: Instead of making a DIY CBT device, we recommend buying a top-of-the-line product which is The Black Wooden Pillory (image above). This beauty combines medieval minimalism with maximum impact, and it claimed the throne as the champion among all the CBT toys we put through the test. This nifty contraption encircles the nether regions and wrists, transforming the wearer into a willing participant in your domination game, where control is your superpower, and they? Well, they’re simply at your beck and call.
Is Making Homemade CBT Toys Safe?
Making a DIY CBT toy is not something we recommend as it’s unsafe. Even if you’re a crafty wizard with a knack for picking body-safe, non-toxic materials (that double as a breeze to clean), homemade alternatives simply lack the seal of approval from the quality control squad because of their dash of danger in the mix.
Before you dive into your DIY project, it’s like studying for a pop quiz – thorough research is your homework. Know your tool inside and out, and make sure you and your partner are on the same page about your playtime boundaries, with a safe word or safe signal just in case. But, a heads-up, while homemade might have that personal touch, it’s not always the coziest safety blanket when compared to the tried-and-true commercial stuff. So tread lightly, kinksters!
Some Semi-safe Ideas

1. CBT board
The first one is a bit ‘out of the box’? Reddit user King89er has a tantalizing recommendation for those with a taste for unconventional projects. This involves crafting a specialized board using materials like hardwood, acrylic sheets, and more, creating a platform for those who dare to delve into the world of DIY Cock and Ball Torture. Here’s how he suggested it:
Materials:
- 3’x6″x1/2″ hardwood board
- Acrylic sheet
- Through knobs with 2″ screws
- Hook screws
- Parachute cord
- T-nuts
- Small nuts
Step-by-step guide:
- Purchase the necessary materials from Amazon and Home Depot. You can find the hardwood board, acrylic sheet, through knobs with screws, hook screws, parachute cord, t-nuts, and small nuts.
- Cut the hardwood board into a size of 3’x6″x1/2″ using appropriate tools.
- Determine the desired positions for the through knobs on the hardwood board. Mark the spots where you want to attach them.
- Drill holes at the marked spots on the board to accommodate the through knobs. Make sure the diameter matches the thread of the through knobs (e.g., M4, M5, etc.).
- Attach the through knobs to the hardwood board by inserting the screws through the holes and tightening them securely.
- On the backside of the board, insert t-nuts into the holes where the through knobs are attached. This will prevent the bolts from falling through the board.
- If small nuts are available, place them on the front side of the board to hold the through knobs in place. However, if small nuts are not available, you can improvise and find suitable alternatives.
- Install hook screws on the board at desired locations. These hooks will be used to attach the parachute cord.
- Cut lengths of parachute cords and tie them onto the hook screws. These cords will be used to secure items on the board.
- Optionally, you can attach an acrylic sheet to the board using appropriate adhesive or fasteners. This sheet can provide a smooth writing surface or protect the board.
- Review your completed CBT board and make any necessary tweaks or adjustments to ensure it meets your requirements.
- Enjoy using your CBT board for various cognitive behavioral therapy activities and experiments.

2. CBT Chair
Now to take things up a notch, Reddit user Lifeuhalwaysfindaway has a concept that involves taking untreated boards and a few unexpected twists to create a truly one-of-a-kind furniture piece. A chair, if you will. This inventive journey will lead you to design a remarkable piece, with elements like sliding mechanisms and adjustable features, where craftsmanship meets ingenuity. Let’s see how we did it:
Materials:
- Untreated boards (such as spruce) from Home Depot or other similar stores.
- Leftover stock or wood from previous projects.
- Wing nuts for tightening.
Step-by-step guide:
- Gather the Materials: Acquire the untreated boards, leftover stock, and wing nuts needed for constructing the device.
- Board Selection: Choose the appropriate boards based on your preferences and availability. Untreated spruce boards are commonly used for this purpose.
- Design the Cross Member: Create a cross-member using the boards. This piece will hold the main component of the device.
- Sliding Mechanism: Build a sliding mechanism that allows the main component to move up and down when loosened and remain firm when tightened. Ensure that the sliding part is thicker so that the clamping bar can grip onto it effectively.
- Assembly: Assemble the different pieces, securing them firmly. Use the wing nuts to tighten the cross member, ensuring that it provides the desired level of grip and adjustability.
- Testing and Adjustments: Test the device to ensure it functions as intended. Make any necessary adjustments to improve its effectiveness or comfort.

3. Rope or ACE Bandage
Rope is a versatile tool in the realm of CBT play, offering both the sensation of stretch and compression. When working with rope, it’s paramount to establish a secure anchor wrap for stability and to prevent any undesirable slippage. Distributing pressure evenly across the intended areas is a key strategy to prevent concentrated stress on specific points, ensuring safety and minimizing potential discomfort or injury.
Note: If you don’t have a rope or ACE bandage nearby, instead of using other materials you can get the Bondage Boutique Soft Bondage Rope (product above) instead. It is made from non-abrasive cotton and specially woven to flatten against a restrained person’s skin, plus it only costs $17.99.
Now, if you decide to go the route of an ACE bandage or vet tape, here’s the deal: these materials are the compression specialists of the team. Picture the ACE bandage as that over-enthusiastic friend who just can’t stop tightening their grip during a handshake; it keeps on cranking up the compression over time. So, a word to the wise: exercise caution, my friend, because we don’t want to cramp anyone’s style by overdoing it, risking blood flow hiccups or discomfort that’s just a tad too much for anyone’s liking.
Not Safe at All Ideas
We’ve got to talk about some seriously risky DIY CBT concepts, starting with weights.
Weights: Using fishing or workout weights may seem like a good idea, but it’s like trying to tame a wild bull – one wrong move, and you’re in for a world of hurt. Severe harm and lacerations are not what you signed up for. So, always prioritize safety and steer clear of these dangerous notions. Stick with commercial CBT products and do your homework if you’re exploring new sensations.
DIY Electrical Device: Now, onto a shocking topic – DIY electrical stimulation devices for CBT. This one’s a no-go, and here’s why. Crafting your electrical gadget without the expertise and essential safety features is like playing with fire, and in this case, the fire is electrocution and a host of unintended consequences. Safety should always be your top priority, with no exceptions!
Note: For the best electro-sex toy, we recommend the Kinklab Neon Wand (image above). Unlike other electro toys, Kinklab has a perfectly insulated power course, four different glass attachments, and a stylish, practical box.
Messing around with household odds and ends like batteries or wires with mismatched voltage and current ratings is like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle. You’re asking for trouble! Instead, think about investing in a legitimate electro-sex toy – it’s like upgrading from a tricycle to a sports car. Safety’s the key, here. Always remember that any electrical gadget used for CBT needs to be designed, tested, and packed with safety features that rival a bank vault’s security system. Don’t skimp on safety, folks!
How to Use Homemade CBT Toys?
- Start Slow: Picture it as the warm-up before the main event – it’s all about discovering what floats your partner’s boat and, more importantly, what doesn’t! So, have a chat and explore their limits.
- Identify Preferences: Just like choosing toppings for a pizza, everyone has their favorite flavor. Some may prefer discomfort in specific areas, be it the penis or the testicles, while others may want sensations over a larger skin area. Pay attention to the finer details.
- Pleasurable Stimulation: Don’t forget the ‘yin’ to the ‘yang.’ Balance is the name of the game, so mix in some pleasurable sensations alongside the discomfort. Think of it as adding a sprinkle of fun to the recipe – a cock ring can be your secret ingredient to extend the playtime.
- Be Mindful of Pain: Sharp pain isn’t a souvenir anyone wants from a playdate. If it sticks around after the game’s over, it’s time to call in the professionals – a doctor, that is. Remember, medical attention beats stubborn pain any day.
- Explore Different Sensations: Think of it as a buffet of sensations to sample. From stingy pain to scratchy discomfort and even warm and cold surprises, you’ve got a whole menu to choose from. Get creative!
- Experiment with Kicking and Punching: For those who like their playtime a little ‘kickier,’ kicking and even punching might be on the menu. But remember, it’s all about making sure your partner’s body can handle the impact. Safety first!
Now, if you feel like CBT is a bit too adventurous right now, no worries. You can dip your toes into the world of DIY BDSM with some sensory play using homemade BDSM blindfolds and feather ticklers. It’s like starting with the kiddie rides before you tackle the roller coasters!
Why Is it Better to Buy Commercial Products?
When it comes to venturing into the thrilling world of CBT (Cock and Ball Torture) toys, the golden rule is to opt for the pros – high-quality, expertly crafted equipment. Think of it as the difference between a smooth, first-class flight and a turbulent ride in a makeshift paper plane. Why? Let’s break it down:
Safety
Now, safety is the crown jewel here, especially when you’re navigating the delicate territory of your nether regions. Trust us, those sensitive bits deserve the VIP treatment. Commercial CBT toys are like the Fort Knox of safety – designed with your well-being in mind, and they’re crafted from body-friendly materials. DIY ventures, on the other hand, can turn into a wild west of sharp edges, splinters, and materials that might just decide to irritate or trigger allergic reactions. Stick with the pros, and you’re in safe hands (literally).
Sensation
It’s not just about safety; it’s about the ‘wow’ factor too. Commercial products are like the seasoned chef who knows exactly how much spice to add – they deliver consistent and reliable sensations. Think of it as precision engineering for your pleasure. With DIY versions, you might be in for a rollercoaster ride of unpredictability. One day it’s a gentle breeze, the next a hurricane, and you’re left wondering what just happened. To avoid those unexpected twists, trust the real deal.
Note: When it comes to sensation, this beauty (product above) is one of the best triple cock rings. Stockroom Thrice is the best triple metal cock ring. The three-ringed design of Stockroom Thrice is intimidating to the eyes, but the more experienced folks will love the bliss that comes with a well-made steel cock and ball ring.
