There’s a blog post that circulates every so often on FetLife and various other kinky forums. It’s a post that suggests inserting, link by link, a large quantity of metal chain into the vulva of a willing woman, then ripping it out again. The text is usually saturated with lush descriptions of how intense and orgasmic this will feel.
The text exists in a few different commonly-circulated forms. In almost every case it promises that basically any woman will experience a leg-shaking orgasm the very moment you rip the chain out of her cunt.
In most cases, whenever this succulent bit of kink culture is reposted, people have two questions.
- Do people actually do this?
- Is it as good as it sounds?
In this short essay, I’m going to answer both these questions.

The standard “chain trick” copypasta
The standard “chain trick” copypasta
But first, as some necessary background, here’s the basic “chain trick” text as it most often appears…
“The Chain Trick…. A delicious dessert for two.
Ingredients: A length of chrome plated ¼” proof coil chain.
Rubbing alcohol.
Dish soap.
“Personal’”Lube
Willing and sexually adventurous woman of legal age.
SERVES TWO (Or more if you play well with others.)
Prepare length of chain: Wash it in dish soap and rinsing it in alcohol. Wash off the alcohol in warm water. You want it clean and sterile. It doesn’t hurt to have it slightly warm too. Wrap it in a towel… you’ll need the towel later. Set the wrapped chain aside.
Prepare Willing Wom(a/e)n of legal age. Note: Personal tastes and techniques vary. Do what works best for you. Woman should be happy and secure. Woman should be excited and feeling playful. Woman likely has NO IDEA how strong this will be. Neither do you. Have fun with that! Warm up Woman. Lick her clit, tickle her g-spot (it’s going to be really tickled later.) Kiss her and tease her. Get her wet. If she’s multiorgasmic (lucky you!) let her cum a few times. Little orgasms at this point are perfect.
Now combine previously prepared chain and warmed Willing Woman and serve.
Use lube.
Use more lube.
Serving: Spread Woman. Knees up, ankles at her sides, lying on her back. Place a pillow under her if it helps make her birth canal open. Use lube.
Slowly insert the chain link by link. Caution: you can pinch delicate folds between the links if you are not careful. Fact of the matter is… you probably will. If you go slow it will be a tiny pinch. To avoid pinching use lots of lube and slip each link into the one that preceded it (it will become obvious quickly how that’s done). Have fun with it. Insert the first few links as far as you can easily reach with one finger. They will move back as the later links follow. The chain slowly fills and stretches her vagina. There are few nerves ending in the muscular walls of the vagina. These are rarely stimulated even during sex. This stretching introduces new sensations which can be quite powerful.
USE LUBE. Liberally. (That’s why you brought the chain in a towel. Use the towel under her. Some lubes stain – especially on satin. Don’t ask; trust me on this.)
The sensations you are creating are very much like those induced by “fisting”. The advantage of the chain is that you don’t have to pass a large fist through the vaginal opening. There are some other advantages; she can move around more. That can be fun too. Try different positions when the chain is inside her. Let her roll on her side or on to her tummy. She may be able to walk with the chain inside her; that’s very interesting!
Note on how much chain to use. You won’t know in advance how much she can take. Buy a couple of different lengths; 2’, 3’ and 4’. They’re cheap (about $1.50/foot) and you’ll find lots of ways to play with the different lengths. Some women can’t take more than 2 feet. Some can. A four foot chain makes an interesting toy for two women to share.
Be playful. Lick her clit as you’re inserting the chain. Rub her g-spot as the link goes in. Stop every now and then and insert your finger alongside the chain. Interesting isn’t it? Tight too! Rub her g-spot again. And again. Lick, rub, insert… find your own rhythm.
She will want to cum.
Don’t let her. Tell her to wait. It gets better.
Much better.
When you’ve got all the chain that feels comfortable to you both folded and molded inside her begin to bring her closer to the peak. Don’t rush it. Take your time. Enjoy it. She will. Let her fall back from the edge… And help her climb up again.
Let her squeeze down against the chain.
Lick her and play with her g-spot until you believe that she cannot stand it any more.
PULL THE CHAIN OUT. Do it in one continuous and rapid motion. Be prepared for her to squirt. (Towel under her is important.)
Lay the chain on her tummy where she can feel the weight against her uterus. (Isn’t it astonishing how hot it is?!)
Move immediately to where you can hold her. Hold her through the shaking after quakes. (Don’t worry if she won’t talk for a while; some women faint.) Keep cuddling her for about 10 minutes. If you touch her clit she may explode. Wait.
She may insist on sleeping with the chain under her pillow. It’s only natural. She may fall in love with it. Lucky you.
Suggested variations:
Two Willing Women. Prepare each separately. Then place them in the serving position buttocks about 12” apart. Insert opposite ends of longer chain into each Woman. (Be playful but be careful of butting heads if there are two chefs each preparing a woman.) Pull the chain from each one at the same time. You can do a similar variation with the two Women spooned together or kneeling.
Magic Number. Think of a number. Tell her to start counting. Keep stimulating her but insist that she may not cum until you allow it. Remind her to keep counting. When she reaches the number pull her chain. If you play well with others it’s interesting to have someone else count for her; she may end up begging them to hurry. That can be fun.
Hurry up and Fuck ME!: Don’t cuddle her afterwards. Fuck her.
Cautions: Chrome plated chain. NOT GALVANIZED. New; not old. Run your fingers over each link and look for welds that are not smooth. Reject any length with flaws.
Rinse off the residue of the manufacturers oil with dish soap. Sterilize with alcohol but rinse it off before it comes into contact with her delicate membranes.”
It’s not Shakespeare, but it’s a compelling read except for the occasional odd turn of phrase. Birth canal? Really?
Do people really do this?
So… is the chain trick a thing the people actually do? Or just a made up bit of internet fluff?
The answer is… a bit of both.
Some people have definitely tried it. Some have had favourable experiences, and some have found it more amusing that arousing. Some people have tried it and hated it.
The chain trick is definitely something you can do, if you want to. And, as with any kinky thing, you may find that you enjoy it.
It would be misleading, however, to pretend that it’s a common sexual practise. The chain trick is a pretty niche way to have a good time.
Is it as good as it sounds?
The text quoted above – the text that is usually used to describe the chain trick – makes it sound like a transcendental experience. It describes it as something almost magical – something that can make almost any woman orgasm in an instant.
It’s not.
That said, a lot of people do find plenty of pleasant sensations in playing with chain. Here are some of the most commonly cited fun things about it:
- The weight of the chain inside you feels really good
- It fills and expands your cunt in a way that’s akin to fisting
- It’s fun to combine tough steel hardware with soft intimate body parts
And, for balance, here are some of the reasons people didn’t enjoy it:
- Pinching is almost inevitable (and quite painful) when inserting the chain
- It can be difficult to get any appreciable length of chain inside you
- It feels too weird and funny for it to be sexy
Chain trick tips and safety
In the spirit of helping everyone have a good time, I’d like to offer these amendments to the text above.
Choose your chain
The text above suggests chrome-plated chain. Ignore that. Opt for stainless steel chain instead.
Chrome-plated chain is relatively rare and difficult to find. As with any plating it will chip off if handled roughly, exposing the bare steel beneath, which will then rust. Chromium itself isn’t toxic, but it has some negative environmental impacts.
It’s likely that the author of the original text didn’t actually mean chrome-plated chain. They just looked at the chain they had, saw it was shiny, and assumed it was chrome-plated. Use stainless steel chain.
Washing your chain
The text suggests sterilising your chain with alcohol. You totally can do this if you want… but why? Stainless steel chain can be boiled and then allowed to cool. No alcohol, no residue, no faffing with flammable irritants.
Consider not using chain at all
I’m a big advocate for mostly using things that are designed as sex toys as sex toys. If you, like me, would prefer to play with something that’s actually designed to be inserted into the human body, I’d recommend using a large set of anal beads.
The Anaconda Monster Black Silicone Anal Beads (available from Bondara) are ideal for this purpose. Smooth, non-pinchy, body-safe, but with plenty of volume.
Avoid ball chain or other flimsy chains
You might take a look at ball chain and think that it’d be a good candidate for the chain trick. Less pinching, and a finer “grain” allowing for easier insertion. And, sure, that sounds about right.
However, ball chain breaks easily, and the fine grain of it means that it may end up lodged places you don’t want ball chain lodged. Similarly, flimsy chains are prone to breaking at inconvenient times.
Use a fairly thick, strong smooth stainless steel link chain.
Don’t rip anything out of anywhere
The text suggests pulling the chain out of your lover quickly and smoothly. Don’t. Instead remove the chain at a pace that is careful and comfortable, so that you can stop if it’s painful. Don’t rip anything out of anyone like you’re starting a lawnmower.
With a heavy enough chain you can also simply have the chainee relax and allow gravity to do its job – something which many people report is enjoyable.
Don’t expect anyone to come/squirt/demand to be fucked
Don’t expect your partner to react as the standard chain trick copypasta describes. Every human is different. For some people this will be pleasant, even orgasmic. For others it’ll just be weird and painful.
If you expect your lover to come on demand, you’ll inevitably be disappointed. And you’re also somewhat missing the point of having a human partner. Enjoy whatever sensations and reactions arise naturally from them, even if they’re not immediate screaming and squirting like a drinking fountain.
