I have a medical condition that mitigates against the taking of ED meds. I achieve erections, just not as hard as when I was younger. With some partners it is difficult to achieve penetration because I "bend" lol....

The cock rings I have tried seemed to be too tight. Caused discomfort pretty quickly, bulging viens etc. I removed them within just a couple of minutes....

A size 84 rubber band works very well. 1/2" in width, it fits just barely snug, is not uncomfortable and gives me just enough "stiffening" effect.

But is it really safe to do this?

TIA

Out of curiosity, did the place you bought the cock rings have various sizes? I know some places do, so it may not just work as a one-size-fits-all deal. Perhaps a size up from what you had?

I'm not qualified to address any of the other issues (particularly safety) at all.

Good luck!

a set of three "ring" type, only the largest of which was marginally doable.

one fake leather thing with snaps - way uncomfortable - kinda chafing and stiff and simply impossibe to stay hard in for the sheer discomfort. piece of crap

one thing with a sliding doodad on it to adjust the size. When it gets wet with lube or her juices the sliding thing slips right off lol otherwise it was workable. Uncomfortable though....

open to more suggestions - thanks.

Dear BusyBusyBusy,

I am not a physician qualified to provide medical advice, nor do I know what your specific "medical condition" is. If you look at the physiology of the penis, however, it is safe for men without any specific medical diagnoses to use cockrings for a brief period of time, meaning minutes, not HOURS. This is because having an erection for hours can cause priapism, meaning blood coagulation in the penis, which can actually damage your penile tissues.

Hence, if the cock ring feels to tight, then it needs to come off immediately, particularly if you also feel pain, numbness or a decrease in temperature.

Apparently you've found your fit; however, if you have concerns, please seek the advice of a competent physician who knows your medical history.

Thank you,

Two things; stimulating the tip of penis excites, but rubbing the shaft and base promote rigidity and endurance. Also google the deer exercise, very useful. As the lady says, cock rings are short term and have their issues.

Anti-oxidants, endorphans, penicillins? Development is a process... in the mean time.
