Ball Rings

 

No, it's not that day, yet. It's to do with one of the suggestions that came in over the past week or so, while I've been slogging through.

"Sometime, you might do a "tutorial" on cock rings.  I've just discovered a "ball ring," and have used it a few times. "Regular" cock rings have
never done much for me, probably due to ED, but when I am patient with myself, I find that the ball ring did work.  I am just not sure I was doing it right; it wasn't one of those things constructed at a right angle, with parts that fit behind the balls, and also over the cock. The one I have fits around the balls, making them very accessible for stroking. Again, I'm not sure I "installed" it correctly, thus the request for a tutorial!"

Cock rings were originally designed to assist with Erectile Dysfunction, to be placed at the very base of the cock to constrict the outflow of blood to maintain an erection.

Then, guys decided they simply liked the adornment factor

but didn't want the risk of damaging the cock. Thus the ones that fit around the whole package.

And actual cock jewelry.

Most ball ring sets are designed for guys who want to stretch the sac to obtain the proverbial "low hangers."

But, there are ball rings that will isolate the testicles so the sensations are stronger.

You've got to find the style and width of band that provides comfort but also the sensations you seek.

However, just like a standard shaft-only cock ring, use ball rings with caution.

A More Delicate Balance

From the Mail Bag, comes a series of questions. I'll address each one in a separate post.

"Hi from Australia,

I am your BIG fan.. just have a question:

- my scrotum is tight, is there a way to stretch them?

- Can we discuss about the prostate massager? what is the best as there are so many in the market and become more and more sophisticated. I am thinking to buy je joue nuo.

- Can we discuss about masturbator toys? what are the best in the market..etc"

Thanks, I appreciate that. Questions are good - I always welcome them.

Let's address the first, most important one: Your scrotum. Though, I have to ask a couple questions in return.

Is it tight all the time? Does it ever loosen - like in hot water or when you wear briefs?

If not, can you tell if the vas ducts feel as if they are bunched up?

If your sac is always tight and the ducts feel bunched up, then I suggest you make a trip to your doctor. You'll want to explain that your scrotum is tight all the time, even when warm and that you fear fertility issues, such as heat damage to the sperm. Ask him for a steroid cream like that prescribed to treat mild to moderate Phimosis. This cream will help the skin to stretch out. But don't expect overnight results - your doctor can tell you how long he would expect it to garner results.

If your vas ducts hang normally (stretched downward by the weight of the testicles), you can resort to what is commonly referred to as "ball stretchers." These are a series of tight, sometimes rubberized rings which you slide over your balls. Increasing the widths of the rings will - over time - help to stretch out the scrotum and lower the testicles. There are also things called "ball weights" - essentially the same thing with weights added slowly to pull everything down. I would be cautious using either stretchers or weights. Don't overdo it - you can bruise your sac and/or your balls.

A set like this will take you through the process gently.

Ball weights

 I suggest you use these with great caution.

Eventually, you get your balls to hang lower. 

If you don't mind, I'd like to address all of the questions in a series of posts. But, I did want to respond personally and immediately about the scrotum because that can be a medical issue which should be treated properly - especially if you ever plan on fathering children. While men prefer their balls to normally hang low, doing things like attaching too-heavy weights can damage the vas deferens and that may also interfere with fertility.

Our balls require a more delicate balance than we anticipate.

Chafed Balls

Yes, guys, it's that time again:

Buddy Ball Check

You know what to do. Get busy.

Speaking of balls.... Warmer weather is on its way here in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means sweaty balls are, too. I feel it's part of my mission here to find products to help men in their daily lives as well as encouraging them to keep the man parts healthy. What comes with a sweaty crotch is a not-always pleasant aroma, and chafing. Now, we can do something about that without the messy powders. Air drying will last only so long.

Tame the Beast provides many hygiene products for men. Among them is Nutt Butter.

Even going commando (freeballing) doesn't stop the crotch from sweating - no matter how many tears you have in the jeans.

Available on Amazon, and elsewhere, you can keep your Boys clear of the irritation and heavy odor that comes with sweaty balls.

Now, do that Ball Check.

Then have a terrific weekend.

Low Hangers

"Thanks for a fantastic site BTW - you have potentially educated more folks on men's health than the magazine of the same name. - Gaynboston"

Thanks for that comment. I do tend to be bit more frank, as it were. 'Course, it helps that I use explicit photos to illustrate the information, too. Speaking of informing:

"I have a weird question for you. My nuts always hang but I noticed something recently. At a club over the weekend some girl knelt in front of me and proceeded to suck me off right there. I'm not complaining, it was hot. But I did notice that my sack had scrunched up before it hit open air. It certainly wasn't cold in there with so many people. Why weren't my low hangers hanging?"

The scrotum is an unusual thing, isn't it? It reacts, as we all know, to temperature; cold it scrunches to lift the testicles closer to the body, warm and it loosens up to allow them to escape the heat of the crotch. 

The ballsac will also tighten to give an assist to the Cremaster muscles when we ejaculate. As we approach orgasm, it will lift and support as we cum.

There is a third instance when the sac will also scrunch up. During a "fight or flight" response in our body. I'm guessing - even though your cock was hard as nails and you were thoroughly enjoying the blow job - that your balls were responding to the possibility of being caught.

So, that little bit of "fright" involved in getting your cock sucked in a public place most likely caused the phenomenon you experienced.

The possibility of being caught and arrested - though, come on! you can't tell me people around you didn't notice - adds to the excitement for some folks. But the next time someone grabs your equipment in public, you might want to find a more sheltered setting. Allowing your ballsac to remain relaxed might get you some extra attention.
