Earlier this week, I decided to see what gains (if any) I could achieve by wearing my 1/2" X 2.25" surgical steel cock ring for a virtual non-stop 4-5 week period (1 month). Since I discovered I tend to maintain a more engorged, longer-lasting flaccid after PE when edging with my cock ring than without it; my theory is I might gain more / faster by wearing one for an extended time and maintaining that extra fullness/ blood engorgement.

Some facts about the Cock Ring I'm wearing:
It is the type worn beneath my balls and over the top of my dick (You can see a pic of it on me in my photo album or 2 pics on the cock ring group site if you're a member). Sizing is key, as this is a non-constrictive type steel ring. NEVER wear constrictive rings longer than 20-30 minutes to avoid severe injury ! This experiment may not work for guys who are "growers", since your flaccid needs to remain large enough 24 hours a day, in order for the ring to not fall off (which could get very embarrassing if it were to hit the floor and go rolling across the room or down the sidewalk)! I'm a "shower" and have worn mine all day and while asleep numerous times, never losing it. While my ring is somewhat snug, it can still be rotated completely around my flaccid package and does not restrict normal blood flow, except during an erection- while edging or during sex. Even then, it just retains the blood and fullness for a longer period of time, and is actually very enjoyable, never painful. I can ejaculate with it on without any pain or discomfort (I just shoot further!). Restrictive type cock rings that fit around the base of my shaft leave me with a feeling of incomplete ejaculation, which I find uncomfortable and sometimes painful. All this ^^^ is provided to give anyone wanting to try this experiment some info on the cock ring type /sizing necessary to remain safe.

Basic schedule:

1) I'll continue my regular PE routine, with the same frequency, reps & intensity (I am on a 2 on/1 off schedule).

2) I've taken precise measurements, so the final measurements should revel if extended wear of this type cock ring has any effect on girth and/or length. Current/beginning measurements: BPSFL 7.125";FLBG 5.125"; FLMG 4.875"; NBPFL 5.875"; MEG 5.25"; BPEL 6.625

3) I will only remove my cock ring when showering / manscaping and during my PE routine, but will wear it while sleeping, edging/ masturbating and sex (essentially 21-22 HRS/DAY). Btw, I edge daily, except rest days, usually between 30min. to an hour, but only ejaculate 3X/week or every other session.

4) Barring any interruptions or delays, I expect to report my measurements / findings on or about June 10, 2015.

Anyone care to join in? COME ON GUYS, JUMP IN, the water's warm! The more participants, the better the end data!....SO PUT SOME "BLING" ON THOSE DONGS!!!!

OK, here's my 1st week update...EXTENDED WEAR COCK RING CHALLENGE
I REALLY think this may be working! My flaccid hang has been significantly better, with slight engorgement of blood (even with NO arousal or semi-erection), During sex and edging, I'm 110%+ erect as might be expected with a cock ring, but the interesting difference is I am able to plateau and maintain much more easily and DO/ MMO virtually indefinately during sex/edging with this extended wearing of my cock ring, so far. Waking up with rock-hard boners EVERY MORNING this week (unusual for me 7 days ina row). My only issue has been some slight irritation on the top of my shaft right at the pubic bone, which I have been treating (successfully) with cocoa butter a couple of times a day (after shower/sex/edging & PE). Since this is a month-long experiment, I have ordered a different style of cock ring that (I hope) will be here in about a week. It's a steel "horseshoe" or "bull ring" type that has a gap between two balls. Like the Hardwear Horseshoe ring design, but without the curvy indentation. Mine's just round, but can be worn upside down to keep the engorgement without going over the top of my cock shaft, eliminating that irritation, I think. Will take a pic and add to my journal once it arrives. Haven't measured any and don't intend to until the month's over, but so far, I'm excited at how well this seems to be going. Much hornier than usual too...GF loves this project!! SO DO I!!!

This has caught my interest! I've ordered a 2" ring since I measured roughly 6.5-7" around the balls and cock and even if it doesn't affect anything, its a nice dirty little secret to be wearing such a thing

As long as you measured snug but not tight, and were completely flaccid, your ring should work for you. Are you gonna take the month long challenge? So far I'm getting great results and it's been a FUN addition to sex that I think will continue, since the GF has gotten into it! Works on her clit on deep thrusts and drives her WILD when I "jackhammer" (lol)! Also gives her an "anchor" to hold on to when she deep throats me balls deep oral! It's all GOOD, man! I think we're onto something here!

Dang! Balls deep?? Lucky! My girlfriend had 4 teeth removed back when she had braces so blowjobs have always been cut short due to jaw pain

And yes, I might as well! It will interfere with wearing an extender but I'll be sure to wear the ring whenever I'm not doing PE or showering

Yeah, I am Lucky! She is a very enthusiastic student! She had some difficulty at first with her gag reflex, but we did lots of "practice" and she was able to master balls deep in about 4 weeks. I don't know how she did it, and even though I've asked, she won't tell me how she" trained" when I wasn't around. I think she practiced on her vibro/dildo, but she'll NEVER admit it (lol)! As long as it wasn't another guy, I'm cool with it!!

Great to have you aboard on the Challenge! We may be making Cock Ring Pioneering History!!!

Can you DO without the ring?
I can partially ejaculate several times with the ring on during edging by using just light front kegal. The edging experience is great and the pleasure waves run throughout the body.

But somehow, I ejaculate first and then orgasm instead of orgasm and then ejaculate. Don't know to fix this sequence.

@ sameel:
Try a harder kegel hold when you reach PONR, and slowly relax it into a RK. Continue to edge and with some practice that will take you to DO. I find it's easier to learn and control with a cock ring on first; then you can master it without the ring.
EDIT NOTE: If you are remaining erect, after the "partial ejaculation", that might just be pre-cum, instead of a partial ejac. Perfectly normal to release a bit of pre-cum during edging when you reach PONR. With practice you'll anticipate PONR better and be able to kegel/RK a bit sooner, preventing the pre-cum as well.

Thanks for the advice. I don't have any pre-cum.
I remain 110% erect and remain just near PONR. Stopping for may be 20 seconds reduces some EQ and arousal and then I edge for another few minutes and then again partially ejaculate.
I use front kegal to stop the ejaculation reflex and this works perfectly. Using a regular kegal just accelerates the ejaculation and orgasm rather than stopping.

Measurements taken! (On the same line for space saving) FLNBP: 4"; FLG: 4.375"; BPEL: 6.4375"; MEG: 5"; BEG: 5.125"

Edit: Just got my ring in the mail! I went with a 2" teardrop and even if this challenge doesn't result in any anecdotal gains (there's really going to be no way to prove this unless we get significant gains), I think I've just got hooked on metal cock rings

Edit 2: Turns out I probably need a 1.75" ring, I'm grower and made the mistake of measuring while my balls were pulled up close to my body. The 2" ring has never fallen off me, but one of my testicles has slipped out a number of times causing the ring to ride down seemingly close to falling. It should arrive on Saturday but I'll keep wearing this 2" ring when I can simply because I really like cock rings now haha
