Listen to Your Dads

 

"i got thrown out a couple years ago when i came out to my folks. turns out the bext thing to happen. my foster dads are great. we go to a gym three times a week and seen a guy in the showers with ring on his dick and i thought it looked really cool and want one. my dads said ok but only a kind to go around my balls. they said the kind this guy has isn't good"

Your dads are right. This is basic function information. Guys older than you got caught up in the moment and have forgotten to remove the ring and damaged their cocks.

Blood must flow to and from the interior tissues to provide fresh oxygen. Cock rings restrict that flow. That makes boners harder and can help you stay hard longer, but anything much past 30 minutes is detrimental to the health of the tissue.

Without a fresh supply, the blood gets trapped, then becomes sludgy. If not treated, the tissue can die.

Unless you want to end up in the Emergency Room with doctors trying to cut the ring off to save your cock, listen to your two dads.

They know what they're talking about.

Stem Cells for ED

 

We finally get to the third item that Joost sent about the IgNobel Prizes. "They always have very funny but scientifically serious topics."

Losing the ability to have sex due to the lack of a willing partner can be overcome with hands or a sleeve, like the FleshJack.

But losing the ability to find release even in that manner can be devastating. It can drive some men into very deep depression. 

That is why so many researchers work at solving the problem. From way back in the days of vacuum pumps and cock rings to today's Viagra and Cialis.

It has led to a Dutch study that found help for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) using stem cell therapy. As reported at DW:

"Erectile dysfunction affects nearly half of all men between 40 and 70 years of age. Other impotence treatments like Viagra can come with serious side-effects, and while getting an injection into the penis likely wasn't fun for the trial participants, none of them reported significant issues. Haahr's team used stem cells taken from abdominal fat cells via liposuction and injected them into the penises of 21 trial participants. The men were able to be discharged from the clinic on the day of the procedure. Within six months of the initial treatment, eight of the men reported they had regained the ability to participate in penetrative sexual activity without using drugs like Viagra. Function has been retained at twelve months follow up."

There's a video (also on the DW site) in which Urologist Dr. Tobias Pottek explains when men should see their doctor, the possible causes of ED, and how it can be treated.

I thank Joost for bringing these prizes that can help men to my attention for posting. And men should thank the IgNobel committee for bringing this to light.

How Common Is It?

 

Faithful reader Jean asked in a comment, how common it is for men to end up in the Emergency Room due to improper use of cock rings. The answer may surprise you. Then again, maybe not.

According to eDrugstore the number of cases is rising. There was an 677% increase in reported injuries between 2012 and 2019. I can guess the pandemic statistics will see another bump as guys spent their isolated time at home masturbating.

Not that there's anything wrong with jacking off. But men obviously need to be educated about the different types of cock rings and how to use them safely. Bed Bible offers the following: 6 of the best ED rings: Do they work?.  The silicone and adjustable leather snap are much safer than the metal.

Whether using them as jewelry, 

to enhance those bulges,

or sustain boners,

use them with all due caution. Having the tissue of the Cavernosae die off with permanent damage to the cock would make hard-ons a thing of your past.
