What are Ben Wa Balls?
What is the traditional definition of Ben Wa Balls and their diversion in BDSM?
Ben Wa Balls, also known as geisha balls, are traditionally a feminine accessory designed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. However, in the gay and BDSM world, any object can be diverted to serve a more brutal or psychological purpose. Here, we are talking about using them to fill the body of a submissive, marking them from the inside, far beyond Kegel exercises.
How to use Ben Wa Balls in BDSM and barebacking?
How are Ben Wa Balls used for anal submission?
These are small balls, often made of metal or glass, containing a smaller ball that moves inside, creating subtle vibrations with every body movement. For a man, the use is anal: they are inserted into the ass. They are not there to provide direct and intense pleasure like a vibrator, but their function is more perverse.
Once in place, they create a constant feeling of fullness. The weight and discreet vibrations are a constant reminder of their presence, a reminder of the authority of the Master who ordered their insertion. It is a training in submission, a way to keep the submissive’s body “occupied,” awaiting something bigger, more real.
What is the role of Ben Wa Balls in barebacking preparation?
In some BDSM scenarios, Ben Wa Balls can be used to prepare the submissive’s body for more intense practices, such as barebacking (sex without a condom). The described scene illustrates how the constant sensation of the balls can sensitize the anal area, making it more receptive and vulnerable. The expulsion of the balls just before the act can leave the body in a state of “emptiness” and increased readiness, intensifying the experience of submission and unprotected penetration. This reinforces the idea that the submissive’s body is entirely under the control of the Master, even in the most intimate and risky aspects.
Prevention and consent: what are the important considerations for using Ben Wa Balls?
What are the safety and consent considerations?
The use of Ben Wa Balls, especially in a BDSM and potentially bareback context, requires particular attention to safety and consent.
-
Informed Consent: Any use must be preceded by a clear discussion and enthusiastic consent from all parties. Limits (hard limits and soft limits) must be established and respected.
-
Hygiene: For anal insertion, impeccable hygiene is essential to prevent infections. The balls must be sterilized before and after each use, and adequate lubrication is crucial.
-
Barebacking Risks: If the use of Ben Wa Balls is linked to bareback practices, it is crucial to remember the increased risks of transmitting STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections), including HIV. Discussion of serological status, regular testing, and the use of PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) are indispensable prevention measures.
-
Continuous Communication: During the activity, communication must remain open, and safewords must be respected immediately if the submissive expresses discomfort or the need to stop.
