Cock Rings

[Fang]

This is a question for the guys and the ladies. I'm going toy shopping soon and wondered about cock rings. I know there are lots of different styles out there. I've never used one, so I'm not sure how "little Fang" will react to it.

What kind do you/have you used and what effect did it have?

I used to work in a Porn shp. The advice I got and subsequently gave out was this... Never get teh metal ones. When you are erect your penis can grow around it and then you have the probelm of not being able to get it off. The metal can get cold and cause some other problems I heard. The plastic ones though I heard are okay and can be a bit more maleable if heated a little. One customer always bought the leather ones we had with the metal snaps. He said they were more comfortable and went with his whole B/D/S/M scene anyhow. My 6 cents worth.

I used one once and it was kind of strange, when I got fully hard I felt like I was going to explode.
What happens is when the blood goes in to your hard cock the ring holds a lot of it from going out which made my cock feel like it was going to explode, almost, no it did, it also hurt some and I did not care for it, neither did the wife, she did not like me having it on when she was giving me head. From what I have heard it should prolong you from cumming make your cock bigger then normal and then let you cum harder. I never got that far as it did hurt and we stopped and removed it.
There is my story with one...

I used one once and found it very uncomfortable - save your money or buy a good vibrator instead.

Hmmmmmmm..... I used one of those studded, latex typed thingies. My ex g/f went absolutely nuts and I kept a hard on even after cumming. (finally) It takes longer for you to cum and the latex kind aren't very restricting as long as you get the correct size for you. It was an experience that, even to this day, I consider one of the best of my life.

this is not the only time I have heard this advice.

The issue, as I understand it, with the metal ones (and other hard material ones) is that they can be a real hazard. When the ring is doing its job, it restricts the blood flow out of the penis and thus the erection does not come down as quickly. The problem arises when the ring is too tight... how do you get it off? answer? You don't, and that can be a huge problem as after a certain amount of time (not sure, but have heard 1/2 hour) tissue/nerve damage can occur.

This is why the ones that snap on or are latex (and thus easily cut off if problems arise) are recommended.

~M45 - u might just not have had one that fit right

tho i've not taken the time to try this out - and to be honest dont have an overwhelming desire to - i've heard only good from the few experiences i've heard

I really dunno if you should even go for the cock rings from what I read on some of the advice... Plus, I went conpletly nuts when my b/f got 'em. He also said they hurt like hell for him. But what do I know... Anyways... I'll ttyl...

Maybe I lived a sheltered life or something, but I'm a very sexually active male, and have never used a cock ring. I've seen them in the head shop, but never used one. Do they go around you cock and balls? or just your cock? Is it worth the investment?
