LORD OF THE RINGS / Part 2

Cock Straps:
Similar to a cock rings, with the exception that these usually have snaps or a buckle so they can be place “around” your equipment and manually tightened instead of stretched or slipped on. This style is often much more adjustable and easier to use in the beginning. They can be tricky to take off after sex when everything is covered with lube or cum.

Cock Splint:
This crafty gizmo is great when the spirit is willing - but the ole boy needs some support. It is designed to be worn like a traditional splint down the shaft of the penis, for your dick. Its cool, smooth finish supports your dick while you get hard - adding some extra strength to the mix. A definite try, for those of you looking for something a bit different.

Novelty Cock Rings:
Bunches of these are now available from places like buygay.com or your local dirty book store. Some of them have merits - but most of them end up being fancy looking rubber bands with tension supports. You can usually tell they are more novelty oriented when they come in day-glo colors. They work the same way, with the added kick of tension beads or other creative ways to tighten the ring. Buy these with caution - if it looks cheaply made, or you think it hasn't enough tension, it may not work for your needs. Remember the idea behind them is to fit tight enough to keep the blood flow in your dick. Also be on the look out for fancy metals, plastic or coated toys as they can irritate the skin make knick or cuts when they break down, or come into contact with water and soaps.

Size & Usage
It’s important to know your size. The best way of course is to stop by your local fetish or leather shop and ask or call and to see if you can try them on. Most reputable ones will always let you try them on. On the other hand - you can take a few easy measurements at home. Take a piece of ribbon. Wrap it around your dick and balls marking where the overlap is. Do this once form a soft, non erect state and then again with a hard on (this is much more fun to do with someone. Then stretch out the ribbon and measure the distance between the points.
