pleasure-balls

The ooh’s and ahh’s of pleasure balls, made to go in anally though many like them vaginally. Some are small beads containing 3-4 beads; some are bigger beads containing just 2 beads. Some metal, some are rubber or latex. Some even come with a controller to monitor you pleasure. Very many different colors, I prefer pink though, haven’t tried these pleasure balls yet though. They do look very nice and probably feel very good inside. Some are even prickly to add more pleasure, if you like that sort of thing. There are many reasons to get pleasure balls, however there are some reasons not to.

Pleasure balls, known as Ben Wa Balls or even Geisha balls are small, marble sized metal balls, usually hollow and containing a small weight that rolls around, often used for massage and meditation purposes. Though they are also used Sexual Stimulation by insertion of the vagina or anally. Some are also solid, or contain clappers or chimes within, other larger versions made of plastic encasing lesser balls which are called Duotone balls. There is also a pair consisting of one containing a drop of mercury and the other, a tiny vibrating metal tongue, giving a uniquely erotic sensation even at the slightest moves of hips or legs. Sounds very nice.

So where do balls like this originate from? Japan. Where they were know as rin no tama (tinkling bells) and were made of metal or ivory. “Ben Wa” is of course just a brand name. They were originally used as just a single ball placed in the vagina used to enhance the act of coitus, which is sexual intercourse. As they have now evolved into multiple metal covered balls linked by either a chain or silk string for easy removal. They create a subtle stimulation, not meant to bring the person to orgasm right away; they are more for a teasing effect. It is possible to leave them inside of you all day, even while sitting in a rocking chair. Some find the rocking with the pleasure balls in very pleasurable. 

At the end of the 16th century, an English traveler named Ralph Fitch, encountered them in the Shan States of Burma. He described their use there by men. Not more than 2 dozens years later, the Florentine merchant Francesco Carletti reported their use in Thailand; they were used there to enlarge the penis.

Ben Wa pleasure balls may also be used to simply increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, much as the Taoist practice The Deer Exercise has been used for centuries, and the Kegel exercises are used today. Similar to Kegel exercises, Ben Wa pleasure balls and other shaped vaginal weights are recommended by gynecologists and obstetricians to increase vaginal elasticity and bladder control. Vaginal weights come in a cylindrical shape and are used in increasing weights to strengthen the vagina, which improves sexual performance. Mild urinary incontinence, such as that which occurs while coughing, laughing, or sneezing and occurs more often as women grow older, can be treated with Ben Wa pleasure balls, vaginal weights, or kegel exercises.

So it really doesn’t matter if you want them for pleasure or need them for a medical purpose. They have been around for years and will continue to be around for many more years.
