Have you ever used a RUBBER BAND as a cock ring?
 

I have always wondered what the big deal was regarding cock rings, whenever I tried them they did nothing for me. Apparently they are suppose to keep you rock hard during sex period, or for those times when you want to 'show off' what you got in your pants but they also are suppose to add more 'stimulation' during sex (for the person wearing it of course).

Anyways lastnight I decided to try using a rubber band (somewhat thick) and I placed my balls inside the band, then put the band over my dick to the bottom of the shaft then I doubled put it back over my shaft to the bottom and finally around my balls. So basically both the balls and the bottom of the shaft are wrapped twice.

I can't tell you how fucking good it felt, my dick was so 'hard' I thought it was going to explode and the feeling I got with the band pulling on my balls was out of this world. I was worried though leaving it on to long (especially double wrapped), over a period of a few minutes it kinda started to hurt.

Is this kinda dangerous or is that how your suppose to feel even when using a traditional cock ring?

Thanks.

P.S. If you haven't tried it, try it! :)

When it starts to hurt, when it feels uncomfortable, when your dick feels cold to the touch or when it appears bluish or purple in color -- WHATEVER you are using for a cockring is TOO TIGHT.

It is at this point that you should remove it.

Intense restriction such as you described for a short period of time in MOST cases is not going to cause permanent damage -- dudes play around with their dicks and the contents of their "home office" or kitchen junk-drawer all the time. Most of these guys do NOT end up in the ER with ruptured blood vessels or injured testes.

BUT SOME OF THEM DO.

So... it's up to you to determine how far you want to push yourself with this kind of stuff.

I've fiddled with rubber bands before -- and found them to be far too restrictive and uncomfortable. They also yank at hairs in a rather unpleasant manner.

There's literally a good dozen different varieties of cockring you can purchase which allow a user to alter the tension and at the same time provide a "quick release" mechanism for times when it gets to be too much. Velcro, snaps, "Japanese" rings with adjustable sliders... all a good option if you want a REALLY tight ring that is safer than a rubber band and can be removed quickly.

Rubber bands can cause so much swelling sometimes that the skin surrounding them puffs up and it becomes nearly impossible to remove the band -- cutting it off would be required. Sliding a pair of sharp shears under the band and under all that swollen skin... eh... well, I just don't want sharp things near my dick like that!

Someone here once mentioned putting those blue rubber bands from broccoli bunches to use as cockrings. I haven't tried it yet, but the slightly different type of rubber and texture of these bands is probably much more suited to that purpose than an "office" rubber band. They're more flexible, soft and pliant.

Bottom line -- it's unlikely you're going to get seriously injured fucking around like this. But it is NOT out of the question. You do this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I would personally stay away from it.

Purchased cockrings are much safer, if you ask me. They also LOOK better and there's more variety. If you tried them before and didn't get any benefit but yet you enjoy the rubber band -- quite simply you just didn't use a ring that would get as TIGHT as the rubber band. There ARE rings that will get as tight as you want them to be -- you just need to find them.

I USED to like fiddling with a VERY tight cockring but found that after a few repeated erections it became more and more difficult to get hard again with a tight ring. Now I stick to using the medium setting. I like how my dick looks and feels this way more -- and I am never uncomfortable.

There are times, every now and then, when just for the hell of it I feel like fucking around and making my dick outrageously hard, either jerking off or with a partner. So I WILL go for it by tightening the cockring (you can also wear TWO cockrings if you get the right kinds) -- but I only do this for a FEW MINUTES at most. Once I feel that the blood isn't circulating properly -- I ditch the rings.

Broccoli bands
 

I was with a guy once who used the rubber bands from broccoli as a cock ring. They seemed to work well, and encourage good eating habits, too! I tried one for a short time, and had no problem, while the other guy had been using them for years. Note the cautions above, however, and be smart about whatever you choose to use.

After I read about the broccoli I had to try it. I don't even like broccoli but the band is GREAT. Broccoli steamed and slathered with melted Cheese-Whiz was pretty good too.:D

cockrings
 

I know a guy on webcamnowdotcom (room 8) who wears two cockrings, one at the base of his cock and one around his cockhead, i mean just below the ridge of the head.

I recently met a "straight" dude wearing one. If I had not read this thread, I would have thought that he was weird. I used to own an adjustable cock ring, but lost it. Never could keep up with jewlery

I personally wear a 1/2" rubber band, doubled around my nuts in addition to wear a cock ring with a ball spreader. I love my balls attended to and when they're this tight it just drives me closer to the edge like never before. It also makes my 9.5" thick cock look like the biggest cock anyone has ever seen (at least that's what i'm told) I've had a couple instances where I needed quick help of the scissors(didn't feel good, but it did the job quickly and safely) I haven't had any problems with my personal fetish. I know when to remove the rubberband as it lets you know that it's been on too long.

Have Fun

The rubber band thing is just too awkward and hard to remove besides pulling pubic hairs. You just need to tighten your cockring so I prefer adjustable ones as mentioned above. I just wanted to add that a cockring is always like body jewelry and is in itself a turn on for us cocksuckers. The look of a dude in one with his balls split gives us instant excitement just seeing it worn. For that reason I recommend you go to a sex shop and shop around and stand in front of a mirror to see what you find sexy for luring that lover

never tried one sounds interesting though

I have used those elastic hair bands that look like rubber bands with a cover. I have wrapped it around the base of my cock and balls, and I have also squeezed my balls hard with them. Was pretty hot, and they work when you don't have your cock ring with you.
