Family Jewels
A Guide to Male Genital Play and Torment
by Hardy Haberman
Paperback, 123pp. ISBN: 1-890159-34-4, Greenery Press
 

For many, the very mention of CBT (cock and ball torture) may cause your testicles to go running for cover, but this is a kink that has a number of aficionados. Considering the value and delicacy of the matter at hand, knowing what you are doing would be a very very good thing. This book offers excellent, knowledgeable advice on how to go to the edge without falling over it.

Writing primarily from the perspective of a male dom and his male partners, it also provides enough detailed information on anatomy and other aspects of the male organ for female dominants to really get a handle on the subject. 

So what exactly is CBT? It can include a tight squeeze of the penis, ball twisting during oral sex, the use of hemostats and other equipment, ball weights, knife play, and even butterflying (where the lose skin of the testicle are pinned to a board). Needless to say, a lot of CBT can be very intense.

Some of it can also be potentially damaging, which is why knowing what you are doing (and what you should not be doing) is very important. This book does a very good job of letting you know what things are potentially harmful and what you can do to avoid harming your partner.  There are sections that point out the risks of impact and compression, twisting and bending, electrostimulation, urethral play, and much more.

There is a chapter on toys, which includes everything from the traditional cock rings and restraints to using household basting brushes and meatball presses.  It covers a wide range of devices and things you probably never thought of.  

The last half of the book focuses on technique. It presents them in the context of complete scenes, describing them in detail and how each part plays out. They describe actual scenes, so you know the author has actually tried whet he describes. This will not only be erotic to read for those attracted to the idea of CBT, it is also filled with great perverse ideas. 

I could say that this is the best book on the market on CBT, but that is not saying much, since it is the only one I know of. It covers the topic well and entertainingly, and is a must have for anyone interested in exploring this form of stimulation.
