Ok now I am a firm believer in watching the Gay market. Talk about market research. For years the Gay market push forward and try new ideas and push their kink to a new level.

Well my buddy, Freddy, from FreddyandEddy.com, who is not gay, but does tend to be open minded enough to pay attention to trends, new markets and is overall, just open to kink in general, turned me on to trying a cock ring. He went on and on about how good it feels and how great it is, and that I had to try. Well enough said, sign me up. I'll try anything once, and if I liked it the first time no reason to stop there, right?

In the past I had only thought of cock rings for those who need to last longer or who might have trouble with stamina. I never thought of them as a designer, sexy addition to the bedroom toys and clothing we don to illicit desire from our partner or ourselves. I also had never thought of having them as a stimulant to wear around the house or as you are off at work. Well you can do all of the above.

I went to the bathroom to measure my girth the way Freddy and Eddy had told me to. I take a piece of paper with me to the bathroom. I was at Sushi dinner with Freddy and Eddy, so I took the paper wrapper from my chopsticks, and I looped the paper around the cusp of my testicles and up and over the penis. Where the two meet make a mark on the paper. Measure that length, then divide by three. The correct diameter of the cock ring you should order is approximately one-third of the length.

Now the choices: Metal, plastic, rubber, vinyl, wood, or glass.

Since I am new to this I went off the advice of Freddy about which brand name to try, and which material to use since he seems to have tried so many before.

He showed me a Gear Essentials Titan.6" width, 2.0" diameter brushed metal. This is a beauty. I take it home barely able to stop myself from tearing into the can. Tori was tickled to see it on me and itching to see how it works. I put it on and it was an immediate turn on to feel the weight of the metal snugly fit around your cock.

It looks sexy too. Hell, there are so few sexy products out there available for men that I will take anything available. Most stuff is tacky and cheap looking and does not make you look sexy. I guess I have to pay more attention to the Gay market for this too. I see such crap out there with such little taste.

Right away I was loving the stimulation of just wearing it round the house and looking in the mirror. Hey, could it be, I WAS sexy!!! Well maybe not but I felt it, and that is what is important.

Well I used it, and Tori enjoyed the feelings of the extra pressure it provided. It wasn't too much but it was a noticeable difference to the norm. I liked that sensation it provided as it added an extra ummph to every stroke. I felt like a rock star, well, I always do, but that is a different psychosis. I liken it to the rings on a baseball bat while practicing. The extra weight allows you to swing with a good momentum and with power but also harder and with more precision when you take them off.

I found that I enjoyed the stimulation so much that I left the darn thing on for three days. When I woke up on the third day, the term 'blue balls' was definately something I was paying attention too. My balls had swollen and it had become almost painful to continue wearing 'the beast' which was what I was now calling it. I carefully took it off, but still had a fondness for the time when I could wear it again.

I called Freddy and Eddy, Freddy said I shouldn't wear it that long. Hmmm. You think? Eddy was in the background laughing. So I learned to take it off while I sleep. Lesson learned.

After a couple of hours the swelling went away to normalcy and all was good again. That night I slipped it on again. Is it an addiction?

So I took 'the beast' out to Burning Man Arts Festival (BurningMan.com) while I was in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. I loved it. Feeling that freedom on a bike, naked, with a cock ring was unlkike any other experience. Dust, Cock Ring, sun and all. I love the damn thing. What can I say, I can't wait to try the next one on for size.

Be sure not to get into any car or motorcycle accidents while wearing it. What happens if you are knocked out for some reason and have to be rushed to the hospital and put in the xray machine?

Or go through a suprise metal detector?

Or if some strange electrical field of current connects to it while you are standing in front of your microwave oven?

Or if lightning strikes your wet pants in the rain?

My cock ring makes me nervous, so I don't use it long or often.

I'm afraid that my cock will rupture or something.

I know, I'm a dork!

Thank goodness I don't own or use a microwave...

Don't forget about magnets. who wants a stereo speaker cracking their nuts! Mine are at about that height! :P

I'd also stay away from sitting on anything hard and hollow! your Liable to make people think your playing the drums.

Chadwick: Just out of curriosity....the cock ring you have? Does it feel uncomfortable? I know I've tried a few of the smaller silicon ones and they basically hurt. But I recently had a chance to try a leather one and things were a lot different. Kinda made a person feel powerfull and manly.

I know I have to be carefull and have stayed away from the nice big metal and glass ones, as I have a hard time loosing erections as it is at times, but the leather one I can take off at any time.

I'd seriously suggest taking another go at trying them, they can be a lot of fun. The wife also enjoys seeing me wear this latest one, she gets rather turned on by it at times.

Bonkmaster: lucky boy, I wish I had the nerve to try one of those metal ones, I think the weight would feel great.

Oh my - I have been wearing the mirrored Omega now and that is even better than the Titan I was writing about previously. All I have to say is try it you might like it. Yes it does add a certain manly feel and aura about you as you move around. It feels sexy and I love the constant stimulation as I am riding my bike, rollerblading, having sex, or whatever. I like the constant stimulation and the constant reminder that I am a MAN.

Whoa, I don't know where that just came from...

I love the things. Used to use the stretchy ones... But no more. I love my Titan.

Ranger

I also have a Titan, but I just got my Imperial!!!!
A true thing of beauty.(While its on)
My wife and I love them!!!
Thanks Freddy and Eddy!

Ooh, you're welcome!

You know, I thought the black ones would look better for some reason. Hmmmm... Maybe once I get a jewel set in...

Have the black ones arrived? We're aDICKted.

Hi



Freddy and I have been corresponding regarding cock rings and he has asked me to post information which I have discovered regarding cock rings as well as ball weights.



I first tried the mega stretch silicone cock rings a little over a year ago, discovered Freddy and Eddy, purchased a Titan and the rest is history.



My wife and I enjoy vacationing on the French island of St. Martin in the Caribbean and I was interested in purchasing a Gear Essentials cock ring in either bright turquoise or yellow so as to wear on the nude beach.



Here is a link: Orient Beach



After purchasing my Titan I begin to google for cock ring information and subsequently purchased from a company by the name of 665leather, a yellow and a red leather cock strap for the nude beach in St. Martin.



Here is the link 665leather



I also decided to purchase a neoprene ball stretcher from 665leather.



665leather is a small business located in West Hollywood and they manufacture their products on site. I am very impressed with the quality of their products and was intrigued by the sensation of the neoprene ball stretcher so I begin researching ball stretchers. I found that there exists a product which is described as a split ring ball weight and that it is apparently very erotic to wear during the day. I also discovered that some men wear an enormous number of these devices (several pounds or more) so as to stretch their scrotum and thus possess low hanging balls with which to slap their partners arse during sex.



I am very happy with my scrotum and balls and do not have a desire to possess low hanging balls, nevertheless the thought of wearing a light ball weight for erotic purposes is intriguing.



Freddy has advised that it is safer to use stainless steel cock rings so as to avoid an allergic reaction and I have discovered that not all ball weights are made of stainless steel, some are made of brass and are chrome plated. They are prone to chipping as this picture will testify.



The higher quality split ring ball weights are made of 316L medical grade stainless steel. In addition some are installed utilizing hex screws and a small allen wrench while others are installed with a normal screwdriver.



Sizing is very important and it is my understanding that one should not use a ring under 40mm at first. Should you continue to add weights and stretch your scrotum then your your scrotum will narrow and you would need to reduce the inner diameter so as to not lose a ball weight. It could be quite embarrassing in a business situation if one of your ball weights were to pop off, drop down your pant leg and roll across the floor.



365leather sells split ring ball weights with the hex screw/allen wrench combination however I am not sure of the metal composition.



I have suggested to Freddy that perhaps both he and Eddy may like to visit their shop and kindly test a split ring ball weight for the readers of Freddy and Eddy. Perhaps Eddy can install it on Freddy and carry the allen wrench in her purse so as to remove the weight at her discretion.



I have also found a purveyor of 316L medical grade stainless steel ball weights which is located in the UK. Their prices are quite reasonable and they offer free shipping to anywhere in the world. The company is Wildcat/Sin Central and the link is as follows: Sin Central



Look under the category Sin Central Products/Male Specials.



Cheers!

Waving goodbye for now.

The weight of the Omega varies depending on the diameter. Figure from 8 ounces for the smallest one all the way to 14 ounces for the 2 1/8" diameter model. The thicknss is almost 3/4". All in all, it's quite an impressive hunk of steel and my favorite by far. Though I must admit, lately I've been wearing a Titan .4", which is a nice medium and comfortable ring.

My God! That is massive - 3/4 inches! I am convinced that Gear Essentials is the Mercedes of cock rings. I think that it is very important to purchase a high quality cock ring for something as precious as ones cock and balls < !--color-->

All I can say is that you'll always be aware that the Omega is there, which I guess is the point. I always remove it after use as it's so heavy that it can work its way loose, even when I wear the smallest size. I don't have that problem with the Titans and even fell asleep with my .4 still on the other night. I would not have even known it was there if I didn't look down in the morning when I went to the restroom and saw it.

Gear is talking about raising the prices as steel is becoming VERY expensive due to China buying up every ounce it can get its hands on. They're even grabbing metal SCRAP by the shipload.
