Thanks again bro!

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.

About an 8... I'm pretty flexible I stretch, routinely do yoga/pilates and bodybuild.

A PM to me re-posted here with permission from rbi99...

"I have no doubt that a cock ring will help post PE sessions. I know you already know that of course. In the past before I started wearing one, after my UV sessions I would have some edema buildup as I mentioned previously. A few hours later it would be gone. When I did my UJ sessions I only sometimes got that buildup. A week or so ago I did a UV session and had a lot of edema (again, not a dangerous buildup, nothing freakish or anything), and put my ring on immediately afterwards. Two days later I still had some buildup. One night my balls were itching so I took the ring off. When I got up the edema was gone. When I do my sessions now, whether UV or UJ, I start to get the buildup quicker, and with my ring on afterwards it stays. That is proof that after my sessions I have an engorged shaft as is common with a post session for anyone, but it stays engorged for a substantially greater amount of time. In addition, with each new session the engorgement begins more quickly. So for me this demonstrates that my view is not an opinion, but a statement of fact. Naturally, the longer and greater the stress is applied to your smooth muscle cells, the better the outcome for girth seekers. I am a full 1/4" bigger and I already had a lot. You the man!!!"

Thanks for the endorsement & testimonial, rbi! Cock rings when properly sized, ROCK!

I really want to do this but I'm struggling. I'm at 6.3 nbpel and 4.75" in eg and a grower. I'm wearing a 1.5" ring now but it's not snug enough to hold in blood. Not sure if this is possible, but could I be wearing it wrong?

I am also a grower but with a strangely wide penis/scrotum base compared to the rest of the penis... I am up to 2 inches smaller in girth flaccid and 3+inches smaller in length. I however must size my ring to not strangle my penis when spontaneous erections happen. I would advice for a horshoe style ring because even my 55mm ring doesnt fall off my penis even when turtled thanks to its design where it sits so well behind the balls and ballsack. I wear it for long walks and at the mall and while working out in the gym all safely thanks to its design. I simply love the ring and I have to thank jockinthebox so much for tipping me off about it. If you buy one of these and size it to be confortable for your erection Im sure you will be happy! The shear weight of the ring provides a better hang just by itself even!

I can attest that ball stretchers and all the advice Jock has given me has worked out wonderfully. I may look into metal ones now too... (I've only been using leather.) Using stretchers has helped loosen my ligaments and obviously stretched the boys, so they're low too...

I used a very thin ring, I noticed most of the steel rings are made with a wide band. Could that be causing some problem for me? I msgd jock a few days ago maybe he will contact me with assistance.

HI Jock
Complete newbie here.... thanks for your post about cock ring sizing.
I do have a question - my measurement is just over 18cm 7.05 inches - does that means a 55mm 2.5" ring?? Seems quite big! My junk is goodly sized when hard but I am not HUGE!
Anyway if you could confirm I have correctly sized the ring that would be great..

'keep up' the good work!

First off, you need to measure standing, & COMPLETELY FLACCID, VERY SNUGLY around your entire package, causing your penis & ball sac to "puff up" slightly . USE A STRING not a tape measure, for accuracy.

If you're a natural "shower" then a larger sized ring might be needed, but typically guys need to reduce their measurement by .25" (as a general rule) to obtain an appropriate size for effective PE and cementing using steel rings. The MOST COMMON size c-rings sold BY FAR, are 45mm or 1.75" diameter rings. Adjustments must also be considered based upon each individual's physiology too (scrotum attachment alongside or below the base of the penis shaft), whether you turtle or not, and a measurement of flaccid girth of the penis shaft base- measured just at the fatpad (nbp) where the exposed penis exits the body.

99+% of guys send me pics (which I NEVER SHARE with ANYONE) to help determine all these physiological considerations as it relates to their appropriate sizing. A 24 hour "test" using harness or O-rings is also recommended, particularly for guys who turtle. We''re ALL so unique in our penis physiology & "hang", there's really no one-size-fits-all c-ring that will work to hold proper engorgement and cement gains from PE. It's an individual sizing process every guy goes through and I've helped over 6 dozen guys here determine their size using my methodology.

Whether you want to "wing it on your own" send me pics (or not), or just take a stab in the dark on sizing yourself, it's completely up to you, guys. I'm here to help walk you through the process and offer my opinions, if you want them (NOT WEIRD, I'm str8). THAT'S entirely YOUR CHOICE! THIS DOES WORK THOUGH, if you're SIZED PROPERLY!

I think I know the answer to my question in advance as it seems common sense, but want confirmation to make sure .

I recently tried using a silicone ring behind my balls and full package. It is snug but comfortable. No pain or discomfort. While wearing it I can urinate comfortably with it on. I only done 20 minute test runs so far and my testicle seem to darken color a little. Is this normal since the ring will restrict some blood flow, or is that a negative sign that it is still too tight?

While I'm asking any recommendations on a good adjustable ring? I've bought a few steel ones and all of them including the biggest I could find that was affordable I couldn't get my testicles in to save my life.

HI Jock
Tnx for quick reply.
So..
I have measured as you say with a string and limp.
I am a natural shower, I don't turtle, I am not sure about the scrotum attachment but I think it is alongside - how do you know?
My balls are average sized but ride high when I am hard, and not low hangers flaccid - the end of my dick is always lower than my balls!
I am gay so sending pics of my dick is not going to worry me!
I did a short set of exercises this morning to break myself in gently.. I can already see that I will be having problems with a near constant erection!
I seem to have a very well developed pelvic floor but I kind of guessed as I am a big shooter.
Anyway, any further help most appreciated.
For taking a pic what do you want to see exactly?

Thanks
