Cock Ring Safety

tighter please asks:

Dear Amy,
I have recently started using various cock rings and have found that I like to have mine very tight. After a while even the tightest fit was not enough so now I use a piece of surgical tubing and tie it under the boys and around the joystick. my concern is this, is there any damage I can do to myself my having a penis and testicles wrapped up too tightly?

Dear Tighter Please:

While cock rings are generally designed to provide a snug fit, there is a limit to the level of constriction your boys can handle. A few cock ring safety tips are as follows: If you experience bruising due to broken blood vessels, your cock ring may be too tight. If you experience pain or extreme discomfort, your cock ring may be too tight. If your skin appears discolored, specifically a bluish-purple color, your cock ring may be too tight. In all of these scenarios, it is best to immediately remove your cock ring to avoid serious consequences. If you are having trouble removing your cock ring, try applying cold water and/or ice to the area to assist in shrinking your erection. If this does not work, you will need to go to the emergency room to have the ring removed by a professional.

If you are wearing a cock ring and are not experiencing any of these problems, your boys are most likely in the clear. You may want to limit the length of time you wear your cock ring, such as no more than 20 minutes at a time. Some individuals feel very comfortable with their cock ring usage, and often choose to wear their cock rings for a few hours at a time. Still, you should never fall asleep with your cock ring on, and if you ever feel any discomfort, remove your cock ring ASAP.
