Nose Bondage

When I started collecting artworks for this particular subject I thought it would be easy to find art and info. I was completely wrong.

Wikipedia learned me this:
Nose torture is a classic Japanese form of BDSM, that usually involves a hook applied in the nose — so called nosehook — that pulls the nose backwards. The level of pain and discomfort caused by this form of nose bondage is variable based on how hard the nosehook is made to pull. It is a mixture of real pain and humiliation for the slave to be in nose bondage and other forms of nose torture.

A nose hook is a type of BDSM device commonly used in Japanese bondage, or shibari, and more broadly in contemporary BDSM practices. A nose hook consist a blunt metal hook which ends that are inserted into the nostrils of the person being bound, and pulled upwards with a strap that passes over the head and can be connected to a collar to maintain tension. There is a very interesting article on Kinbaku Today: Chiba Eizo and the Art of Face Torture, in this article Chiba Eizo explains about the psychological aspects in face torture and nose bondage.

One of the artists who drew many artworks dedicated to nose torture is Takashi Shima. I selected a few from his artworks, be sure to visit the very large collection at Vintage Bdsm Art.

Other artists presented in the gallery below: T. Pete, E. Ford. The art from Bondage Society is by an unidentified artist.
