Dream Bondage Device - The Venus Ball Trap

In my earlier post about dreams I briefly mentioned some of my "dream world" bondage devices and I figured I would write about one here.  I can draw some sketches if people request that but at the same time I tend to enjoy the exercise of visualizing something based upon a textual description.  Everyone seems to come up with their own unique interpretation and that is often way more fun than spoiling it with a drawing.

Akasha has always seemed to get my mind racing with some of her descriptions in her stories.  If you aren't familiar with her writings, her website is http://www.akashaweb.com/

Anyways, onto the description. 

One item that has shown up a few times in my dreams was a device that I ended up naming the Venus Ball Trap (I named it after I had the dream as it was not named within the dream).  The Venus Ball Trap is a hinged metal device, shaped a lot like a clam.  The hinge is spring loaded with variable tension: it's "jaws" could be fairly loose or clench together very tightly, depending upon how this was adjusted, similar to some of the alligator style nipple clamps on the market. 

Behind the joint lies an eye-bolt to be used as an attachment point.  The eye-bolt interacts a bit with the jaws of the trap, if there is tension pulling on the bolt it will cause the jaws to tighten together.  If the tension is released on the bolt, the jaws will loosen to their initial setting.

Inside the dream the Venus Ball Trap was placed over the scrotum and tightened down, holding the balls inside the clam.  A chain was then attached to the eye-bolt and used as a tether to another object (in my dreams this is usually a wall-ring).  If the sub attempts to move away from the wall-ring, the trap gets incredibly tight, pinching the balls and scrotum and he must move closer to the wall-ring in order to make the pinching stop.

I would also say it could be used in many other ways, including C&B torture, a leash attachment, connected to the wrists, etc.

There have been a few variants in my dreams.  Sometimes it is all metal, other times there is a rubber layer along the edge of the clam to cause my grip/friction, other times there is rubber layering the entirety of the inside to give more tug on the testicles.  It has shown up as a locking version but I'm not sure exactly how the lock worked (in the dream it just happened to lock).  More extreme variants have included dull spikes/teeth either inside the clam or along the edges, inducing additional pain and discomfort if the trap is tightened.  My Mistress that I first shared this device with loved the idea but wanted sharp metal spikes (yikes) instead of dull metal or rubber spikes/studs.

In reality I realize it would probably be unsafe to ever have it clamp down completely as it could cause loss of circulation to the testicles.
If you can imagine yourself (or your sub) with wrists chained behind the back and scrotum clamped down on by the Venus Ball Trap chained to the wall, struggling against the perimeter of the tether and unable to escape its discomfort, you probably get the jist of what I have dreamed about.

Please let me know what you think.

  1. I'm confused about one aspect of this ball trap. If it is designed to close tighter when the chain is pulled, does it then loosen up again to its original tension when the chain is loosened? In other words, if it were to be attached by its O ring to the wall, and the sub attempted to pull away from the wall (thereby tightening the trap), would the trap's closing mechanism stay in its newly closed position of tension, with no hope of the sub pulling back and thereby loosening the tension to its original state?

    It would seem to me that if the trap didn't reset itself upon a lessening of tension, it would constitute a design flaw, in that it would become an irreversible punishment device rather than a learning tool for the sub's recognition that to remain merely entrapped, rather than in pain, he had to "follow the rules" and not try to pull away from the wall. I'd regard that as a more attractive proposition for my sub husband, as the main reason I'd use such a thing is as a learning tool rather than simply as a punishment tool.

    What's more, if the device were used as part of a ball leash and it was irreversibly tightened by tension, it would become impractical rather quickly. Whereas, if the sub learned that by keeping pace, he'd avoid the excessive pain, it would yet again be a more effective learning tool.

  2. Thank you again for the post, Lady Grey.

    You are correct that it would reset to its original tension upon release of the chain.

    I have added that to the description. Thank you for pointing that out.
