Ring around the rosy prong

It's somewhat amazing how popular cock rings are. Perhaps, it is because they are so small and easily concealed in a pocket; an innocuous little circle ready to go into action should sex suddenly break out. Or maybe it has a little to do with the reputation; the term "cock ring" is freighted with kink and undistilled sex and yet the actual article is hardly intimidating. Or perhaps they just have a sentimental spot for "Hard Harry."

As for how the unassuming little device is used, it can be worn in three different configurations.

The first is to snug the band down at the base of the shaft just before the scrotum. This constricts the blood flow allowing the erection to achieve a greater tumescence. Obviously a favorite of those desiring to be as hard and large as they can be.

The second is to fit the ring around the base of the scrotum. This acts to resist the ascension of the testes toward the body prior to orgasm, thereby delaying ejaculation.

The third is to cinch that puppy around the whole works, penis and scrotum. Besides demonstrating manual dexterity passing sensitive bits through a constricting ring, it tends to showcase the wedding tackle a bit. At the same time it combines a bit of position one and position two, not only serving to add a bit of steel to the flagpole, but also to slow testicular rise.

For those that don't want to choose, there are "cages" that will allow the user to position three connected rings at the same time giving the benefits of all three placements at once.

The funny thing is that many people think of the humble cock ring as utterly harmless. The bloody thing is pressure collar or tourniquet. For it to be effective, it must be snug. Too loose and it's just a fashion accessory checking to see if your pubic hair is long enough to grab. Too tight and you're risking things turning black and falling off. Incidentally, if you do have the misfortune to use a size or three too small, I hope you weren't using a metal model. If not, well I hope you're REAL confident with a hack saw. Even with one properly sized, it shouldn't be worn for extended periods.

Enjoy.
