Even if you don't live in the US, you can buy Silver coins/bullion - many countries mint coins/rounds/bars - www.providentmetals.com has stuff from a number of them. Not sure if they ship outside the US, or if shipping costs make it cheaper to find a supplier closer to you.
No experience with them, but the 3.99% fee on top of SPOT for silver, and what looks like some ID verification process would be a red flag for me. Compare that to what you'd pay at Provident Metal (above).
I'd stay away from anbody that's advertising on cable. Even if they're legit...

They also make this in a 1 inch wide variety, which seems to be a little...
Thanks. I'm gonna do some checking around here and see what local dealers in Chicago have to offer and also put put a small order thru Northwest - we'll see what happens. I have a general distrust of eBay, so I'm not going that route unless somebody has good reviews of a specific seller.
You can try babeland.com and search for cock ring. Here's an adjustable one they have. http://search.babeland.com/?sid=132977F226BB&R=325
My advice would be to try several - it's not a one-size-fts-all thing. Depending on your size on any given day, a different size may feel more...
I've had this happen from both clamping and pumping - a minor tear in the urethra. In my experience, it's not even related to being a newbie at a particular exercise - I pumped and/or clamped for well over a year before I ever experienced this.
