Jockinthebox's Guide to Steel Cock Ring Selection

[KFH Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close KFH]

Hi JOTB. After I've reached my length goals I'm looking for the best method to gain up to .25" in girth, as in no more than that. Would wearing a cock-ring 24/7 get me there alone? Also, do you thing the increase would be all along the shaft or just the base?

Hi JOTB. After I've reached my length goals I'm looking for the best method to gain up to .25" in girth, as in no more than that. Would wearing a cock-ring 24/7 get me there alone? Also, do you thing the increase would be all along the shaft or just the base?

When I did the EWCR Challenge, I did my regular PE manual exercises, then wore my cock ring for edging & the remainder of the day (including sleeping). I gained a full .5" girth (& some length,too) in about 5.5 weeks! Proper fitting to hold engorgement 24/7 is key, IMO. I kept mine on 24/7 except when showering or doing PE. Even wore it at the gym workin' out and during sex. There's a process to fit a ring unique to every guy's physiology. Steel cock rings are addictive for me. I almost always have one on 24/7, and I think it continues to cement my engorgement into gains. I'm only wearing a PF now (last 2.5 months) for 11.25 hours per day, but when the PF comes off, my cock ring goes on! I'm almost at my length goal, and have exceeded my girth goal, so I don't do manual exercises anymore. I'll be glad to coach you through the fitting process, KFH. Check my threads & pics in the Cockrings Group and follow the instructions, then PM me for the next steps.

Oh and in answer to your specific question, my girth at first was primarily Mid-shaft, but over the next 3-4 weeks evened out to all along my shaft with continued wear.

Check the Cockrings Group thread (you'll need to join the group to see pics) and my pic #002, before you buy, for some important physiological info that's KEY to comfort and gains. I'm willing to assist you in getting your fit perfect for your physiology. As far as profile, if you turtle, go with a narrower ring or horseshoe style, as they're more comfortable, easier to wear, among other advantages. PM me if you have questions.

Not sure what you mean by your measurement: 5.7? If that's your measured circumference (around your package, pulled VERY SNUGGLY), then that number should be divided by PI (3.14) to determine your initial inside diameter of a test ring to try. Adjustments to your physiology (scrotum attachment & whether you turtle) are another consideration.

I have tried metal, black rubber, and the clear poly ? type.
My preference is the clear, I like flexibility in putting it on or taking it off.
I seem to have outgrown some of the rings in my collection. Just can't put them on anymore.

Too much junk !

You can always buy different size, inexpensive hard rubber O rings from a home improvement or hardware store to try to determine best fit before ordering a metal ring.

Flexible constrictive rings are fine for holding an erection during sex or edging, but shouldn't be worn for more than 30 minutes to avoid cutting off blood-flow (circulation) that may result in tissue damage or death. Steel rings may be worn 24/7 to hold a flushed flaccid after PE / edging and during sex, too. Steel rings will help engorgement, cement gains, & build EQ.

I have found steel rings will get tighter as your package grows from cementing enlargement from PE, but that's the purpose, isn't it? I've been able to wear mine a year or more generally before up-sizing by .25" increments with no problems. Horseshoe style steel rings have a gap that allows for some added expansion more so than full circle steel rings too; so that's a consideration when purchasing them at a slightly higher cost.

Inexpensive metal alloy "harness rings" are universally available in most hardware or home improvement stores that can be used for a 24 hour sizing test. Just don't wear them as a permanent ring, since those alloys are just chrome plated and can cause nasty skin allergies that nobody wants around their DONG!

Hey, thanks again for the thread!
I know you can't post direct links but can you just explain how to easily find those horseshoe cokrings you talk about with a quick google search? For example you can just name a few sites without providing the links.
I thought about using a cheap lasso cockring with a bit of space at the top, they're also adjustable and easy to remove.

You should make sure you follow my sizing guidelines FIRST, before ordering. I'm glad to help get you fitted correctly for gains & cementing. My guidelines can be found on page 1, post#1 of this thread. -Jock

woke up with an erection so hard this morning my piercing had disappeared inside the head... lol.

No, I wouldn't say that's "normal"! You must have sized yourself without consulting me about your measurements or physiology. I DON"T recommend THAT! I'm glad to help members here get sized correctly to avoid injury! PLEASE take advantage of my experience. It costs nothing! I've helped over 4 dozen guys here in the Gym get fitted correctly to gain from extended cock ring wear . AGAIN...Please take advantage of my experience, to avoid injury.

It's important to walk through a few steps before putting a steel ring around your DONG! A good test to use is:

COMPLETELY FLACCID, with your ring pulled flat against your pelvic bone / fatpad and firmly behind your balls, just in front of your perineum, try wedging an index fingertip beneth the ring on top of your shaft. It will be tight, but not painful, and you should be able to get your finger underneath to the back of your nail bed (unless you have super-fat stubby fingers).

It is especially important for guys who turtle or are big-time "growers" (girth expansion from flaccid to fully erect greater than 1/2") to be sized properly before ordering a steel cock ring. NEVER wear any constrictive cock ring longer that 30 minutes, MAXIMUM. You run a risk of serious tissue damage or even tissue DEATH! You've only got one DONG, BE CAREFUL WITH IT!
