Is ballbusting really risky?

I started a thread on ballbusting and it got a lot of responses. Some brought up the concern around damage and it got me thinking. How big of a risk is ball busting really?

A quick google search yields all sorts of headlines about the risks of this kink

But Ive been hit more times than imaginable with all sorts of implements. Full force, repeatedly, theyve been stomped on, squeezed, crushed you name it. There have been times i thought i was going to pass out, or throw up, if done right it’s incapacitating to the point you cant move and breathing is difficult.

But i wake up the next day with no damage. Has anyone ever destroyed a testicle doing this or is that a myth. It seems like we’d see more real life stories if that was the case

I’ve done a lot of sessions over the years and never had an issue. It’s certainly possible to get a serious injury. I feel like that’s been pretty well documented. But I do think serious injuries are pretty rare.

I also think ballbusting has been around for a long time even outside bdsm. I know in my high school/college days it certainly was a favorite target for many of the women I knew. I never heard of any of their victims having a lasting injury other than the brief embarrassing 10 mins of being incapacitated lol

Personally, I find I don’t need a crazy intense session which probably helps reduce the risk. It doesn’t take a whole lot to drop me these days, lol. But in years past I did some pretty intense sessions without any long term damage.

I have to ask are you saying ballbusting was a game the males and females played in high school and college? Somehow I missed this Lol

I remember years ago on Max a regular poster commented about how he had been kicked in the balls during a session and suffered a serious injury which caused an emergency room trip and permanent damage if I remember right. It took me years to work up the courage to try this partly because of this post. There is some risk in a lot of bdsm activities and this is certainly one of them. I think I’d only engage in this with someone I’ve played with before and trust or in a first session someone who is experienced with a really good reputation which I have done with Michelle Lacy and Jean Bardot.

Never said it was a game. Just saying it wasn’t uncommon for girls to try to hit a guy in the balls and I never heard of anyone getting seriously hurt

I just assumed it was a game. I guess I just went to the wrong schools.

There were a few times in my high school and college day i was punched In the balls by a hot girl. Kind of in a joking fun way. Jokes on them though i would have gladly paid $500 an hr for that treatment.

I've had mine busted by some of the best in the business. Mine have swollen to twice their normal size, and turned every color in the rainbow. unbelievably a few days to a week, and their back to normal.

Mistress Kiva is coming over my way next month. Can't wait to see if she can do some damage

Ive had mine bruised pretty bad but never the swelling. Sounds like you can handle more than me.

But sounds like no lasting damage. I figure the risk is pretty low and worst case ill be left with one. I can always Lance Armstrong it through life if the trade off is lots of ball kicking sessions :-).

Not particularly. I've seen lots of very experienced heavy ballbustees over the years and exactly one of them had experienced any sort of related medical issue.

Trampling, on the other hand... I see way fewer trampling guys and can't even count the number of times someone's told me "hey, avoid that rib, I broke it during a session a while back."

You definitely would be the subject matter expert Mistress Maya!

I would agree with most of the replies here. It definitely falls under RACK. Is there a risk? Yes. It is a huge risk? Probably not with a knowledgeable Domme.

Note: BB while the balls are tied or restricted is a no no. They must be able to move or you risk rupture.

I think the grabbing and twisting that I have seen some less experienced Dommes do is far riskier. It can damage the spermatic cord. I have heard multiple stories of that.

Mistress Ayn,

Thank you for your insight. Ive done the grabbing and twisting, based on your comment i may cut that out. I haven't done any busting with tied balls for the reason you mention.

A very nuanced and informative response

It's definitely not a myth that ballbusting can cause damage and possibly even permanent injury if done incorrectly. Like many other things we do, there is an inherent element of risk associated with this activity. It isn't "my thing" or something I know a whole lot about, because I generally avoid it. That said, I'm sure that in most cases, with a knowledgable and reputable Domme, it is relatively safe. I've done it once. The Domme joked about having to take her boots off first so she didn't put me in the hospital. She could tell I was terrified, so she was very gentle with me and it was no big deal.

I do have experience with extreme ball pain, however, and I know I don't like it. In my younger days, I had a physical altercation with a roommate where he punched me very hard in the balls and I punched him extremely hard in the head. It was an amusing picture, me groaning in agony and holding my balls, while he groaned in agony holding his head. The blow was *extremely* painful and as others have shared, I felt quite nauseous for a while afterward. Oddly, it took an entire week for my balls to turn purple. I had no idea what was causing the discoloration at first and called my doctor in a panic. He asked if I'd sustained a blow to the testicles recently. At first, I said no. Then I said; "Wait. Hang on a second..."

Such a great thing to watch on film or live. I've seen some very heavy BBing in person when I was shooting with Club Dom. I was used for other things. I can't take anything down there except maybe having them tied up tight or have weights put on, that can be fun. Like I said, I can really enjoy and get excited by watching heavy BBing scenes.

I'm not sure if there is any published, peer reviewed information on this. Plus, its probably one of those things that varies from man to man - what is harmless to you might be devastating to someone else.

Proceed with caution. Those things don't grow back and permanent damage can be done.

Definitely agree on the twisting comment (Google "testicular torsion"....usually requires a surgical repair)

Ruptures are possible but usually take a fair bit of force.....usually around 50kg (100lb+)

I read that thread too, and I know indirectly that one of the contributors was indeed hurt. I also agree with your comment about the importance of the partner. I did and do sessions with some of the best known ballbusters, they know what they are doing and I never felt in danger.

I also agree with Mistress Ayn's statement, twisting and squeezing many times feel more painful than kicks.
