Breast torture, as its name suggests, focuses on applying pain or discomfort to breasts or nipples. The torture or pain can be applied to the breasts as a whole, or just to the nipples.

Torturing the breasts as a whole

Because of the typical size difference between women's breasts and men's breasts, most torture involving the breast as a whole is performed on women. As well as the additional geography available with women's breasts, they are also considered sexual, much more so than men's breasts.

Because of their size and because there aren't any vulnerable vital organs underneath them a number of BDSM activities can be effectively done to breasts, such as:

• Breast slapping,
• Flogging and cropping,
• Piercing,
• Cutting,
• Twisting, and
• Crushing

In many cases breast bondage is combined with these to increase the breast's sensitivity beforehand.

And, it must be noted, many guys just like fondling breasts and torturing them gives them another chance to do so.

Torturing nipples

While the small size of men's breasts often limit how much they can be involved in BDSM activities, nipples on men are a different story. Nipples are quite sensitive on both men and women and because of this are common targets for inflicting pain and suffering.
