Dear Sextile,
Sorry if I was a little abrupt in my previous post. What I meant was that the ring actually goes over the base of the you-know-what, under the back of the hanging jigglies and around, so that it provides a nice, tight feeling. It's name is misleading, I imagine - most people think that it just goes around the base of the manly meat, or its shaft.
I never needed to wear one, either, but out of curiosity - because the old Utopia staff described it so graphically, I bought one to try. A leather one because I was worried that I couldn't get a steel one off if things got out of hand. And while I wouldn't say that I have never done without one since, I will add that as I turn 50 (by Chinese reckoning) it does come in useful after the fifth inning.
As Icon mentioned, most of the boys just wear a rubber band. It serves the same purpose if it's just for show but for the real deal, you need somehing with much more strength than that.
Tao
