Is it safe?

[Addlib123]

Is putting ice in you safe? I have seen a lot of dares involving ice, but am always too hesitant to do them because I'm not sure if they are safe.

Mostly, they are. Well, ok, the dares mostly aren't, but putting ice mostly is safe, if the time is limited. Basically, allowing a few ice cubes to melt on/in you is safe enough, if you are healthy. Blocks of ice, or a dozen ice cubes... well, it poses a higher risk. If at any point you suffer extreme pain or notice a discoloration of the skin, you should stop immediately. If it doesn't withdraw after some time, contact a doctor.

I shall elaborate on Sindrato's reply.
Short answer: Yes. It's possible to do yourself real damage, but rather unlikely.

Risks:

Burns
This is the main one. It's surprisingly easy to get cold burns from things - especially on sensitive areas. These are likely to be superficial, and should heal quickly in a day or two. As Sindrato says, look out for numbness and skin discoloration as warning signs.

Physical injury
Ice is hard, and can have sharp edges where it has recently broken. The sharp edges soon melt, so as long as you bear in mind it's a solid object,you should be good.

Hypothermia
Large quantites of ice/standing under cold shower may actually drop your core temperature low enough to be dangerous. You will need to get very cold for a prolonged period of time however. Assuming you live somewhere where dying of cold isn't an issue tho, this again you should soon recover from - but don't do things like go to sleep in a bath of ice, because that might end unfortunately.

I have a quick question that's been on my mind awhile: are there serious long-term damage risks for CBT(cock and ball torture)? I have it listed as a limit because I'm a bit concerned it might be unsafe, but I'm not really sure about this one.
The idea of it sounds just as fun as other painful stuff to me, I'm just a bit apprehensive on the safety thing.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Originally, I pm'd iKink some thoughts I had on his query. However, now that my pm to him has ended up this long, I thought it best to share it. So, for anybody curious on the subject, here's some thoughts on the issue...


I'm no doctor. I'm just a guy on the net, so please take my comments with a grain of salt. I'm in my late 30's and have primarily been a 'solo player' for nearly 20 years and enjoy self-inflicted cbt to an extent. I offer the following advice based on those years of experience. So here's a few thoughts for your consideration.

While in general, cbt is largely about 'pain' some people take the word "torture" a little too seriously. It is, after all, one of the words in the name cbt. Everybody can be guilty of this, even without realizing or intending it. Even if some people won't admit it, it is quite easy to get carried away with oneself when on the web on a site such as this - getting caught up in the heat of the moment, delighted about the torment that you're instructing somebody else to do.

Anything I do, I try think things through before engaging in the activity. As the genitals are basically irreplaceable, I practice what the bdsm community refers to "Safe, Sane & Consensual". The term is worth a websearch if you're not familiar with it (and worth refreshing oneself on periodically even if you're already familiar with it. Long story short, when playing with my cock or balls, I always have an "escape plan".

When something feels wrong, I stop immediately. I also stop immediately iIf the color gets to be too much of a dark red (trapped blood, it isn't circulating through the body). Things go from dark red to an ugly shade of purple quickly. When I any sort of cock/ball bondage, I always use shoelaces - they're a manageable length, cheap (couple bucks at walmart, for instance), they allow for all sorts of color options (which in my experience many ladies have thought made for pretty pictures). I try to always use simple knots - they're easier to untie. In an emergency, a pocket knife or scissors can free the genitals from the shoelaces very quickly (as long as you remain calm and careful and use appropriately sized knives or scissors, instead of something like 8" carpet shears).

This paragraph hadn't occured to me when typing that pm. Rubber bands are also an excellent 'toy' for this area, as they're easy to break or cut. Clothes pins, binder clips & such are also easy to remove. While "easy to remove" doesn't make anything foolproof, it does make it quicker to stop any bad situation and prevent it from becoming worse. When sizing something up as a toy for cbt, if it seems practical to use and passes an 'easy to remove' test, it very well might make for a good cbt toy.

When I experimented with chastity, I never, ever, not once, strayed more than 20 feet from the keys to the lock. The 'fantasy' of the keys being who knows where & unable to get out is great & all - but isn't remotely practical once an unexpected emergency rises.

I could go on and on regarding this subject. I've played with cock rings, chastity devices, parachutes & weights, the "gates of Hell", ball dividers, ball stretchers ... you get the idea.

ive seen posts where girls stuff more than one pair of panties into their vagina. is this safe? how do they get them out when they're stuffed in there like that? is there a risk of TSS for long periods of time?

[masterssub]

Is ginger root safe? Also what's the sensation like? Burning? Thanks!

[R3d]

Is edging and not cumming for many days safe?

[SexDoll]

Would it be safe to use both toothpaste and ice in your ass at the same time?

[ariana]

Is it safe to put clothespin on tongue? How much is safe, if at all?

[Jah Brother]

The three people above me are safe.
Of course if it starts too hurt too bad stop it, but you should be ok.

I guess it depends on the size of the panties and what material they are, but I can barely (just barely, with lots of pushing and grunting) fit one pair in. I wear medium sized cotton high cut panties usually, so I guess if you are talking about a g-string made of thin not-as-absorbent fabric, it would be possible. The cotton panties just totally absorb all of the moisture and make it really hard to insert!
Taking anything out of a vagina just takes a little practice, vaginas are not endless, and with a proper squat and bearing down, pretty much anything will come out (at this point I have put in, and pulled out, quite a few things from my vagina.) Also, if you can get your body in the right position, you can reach your cervix (the end of your vagina) with your fingers. Being a lesbian for many years taught me that one. So, as long as someone has some practice with that, it really is possible to basically anything out.
I don't know about the TSS, I am not a doctor. I would assume that leaving anything absorbent in your vagina for long periods of time could cause problems of some sort. I use sea sponges instead of tampons, which have rarely reported cases of TSS, much less than tampons, but some cases nonetheless. Since that is basically the same thing as using some kind of cotton panty, I would think you would want to take the undies out and replace them with clean ones just as you would a tampon or other product used during a period.

As far as TSS goes, you shouldn't leave anything in that completely blocks or absorbs for more than a few hours at most (I think 8 was where it was meant to start being a risk.) Obviously people leave tampons in overnight all the time and don't explode, but riskwise that should give a rough guide.

Very informative! Thank you for the making this thread @nellybell; I'll be sure to reference this in the future!

Is shoving a toilet brush up your vagina and pulling it quickly half way out and back in dangerous? it causes extraordinary pain after a while. almost feels like I am being punched up there repetivly hard.
