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.[1]

A nose hook may be used as part of humiliation play or as part of dehumanization. It may also be used as part of a predicament bondage scene or make bondage more uncomfortable or more strict. [2]

The hooks pull up on the nostrils, giving the user an animalistic or porcine appearance which may add to enjoyment via erotic humiliation.[3] The user may also receive pleasure via masochism, as the use of a nose hook may be painful depending on the level of tension applied.[4] As a form of facial humiliation play, nose hooks are often used in combination with other BDSM devices that incite shame, such as ball gags, mouth spreaders, etc.[1]

A sideways nose hook stretches the nostrils apart and sideways, with a hook on both ends of a strap going around the head.
