Jockinthebox's Guide to Steel Cock Ring Selection

[chrismate]

Jock just a simple question here. But are the surgical cock rings are they just a round single steel ring? Or are they horseshoed for example?

Surgical steel is the quality of the steel. They can be both rounded or horseshoe.

This threaded reminded me I have some cock rings I couldn't fit into, but lost almost 80#s so I'm going to give it a go and see if they fit now.

For the hardware store 24h trial is it ok to buy a solid brass ring? Could not find 1.75" in zinc plated.

Yes, a brass ring will work OK for a 24 hour test; but don't wear it as your permanent ring, as it may cause skin allergies.

I'm kind of interested in this...
You said it helped cement gains / gain quicker, gave great morning PIs and cause your flaccid to hang?
Did it help with turtling? Or did you never have that problem as a shower?

No, I've never had a turtling issue, but guys who do I've helped size, report their c-rings do help control turteling, particularly if they use a leather balls-stretcher along with their ring. The balls-stretcher helps retrain the cremaster muscles in the scrotum surrounding our balls. They are largely involuntary smooth muscles, but wearing a stretcher will retrain them, allowing them to remain relaxed all day (more voluntary), reducing both turteling and stress-related fatigue that many guys who turtle don't even realize they have. Carrying your balls tight to your shaft all day wastes energy and can even lead to a pelvic floor imbalance and pre-E in severe cases. You'll feel much more relaxed & energized by wearing a leather balls stretcher 24/7 too. See my signature thread below "Avoiding turkey neck", starting with post #5 to learn more about balls-stretchers & their benefits.

Just a question which is related to your turtling; how would you rate your general body flexibility on a scale of 1 to 10? I'm just doing some research to hopefully benefit other users in the future.

Thats interesting you say this... I felt 10x better when buckling my balls in the my stealth anti-turtling sleeve. Everything hung nicely and never turtled... then I lost it lol

But thanks I'll give it a read before I ask about sizing.
