I've decided to chill out on the 1 1/2" chrome
cockring for a while. It's a little tight around the base (which is thicker than the rest of the shaft) and has irritated that loose skin there that makes up part of my ball sac. Also, the ring I bought is cheap as hell...has this slight ridge where it was welded together that can also be somewhat irritating, particularly when I sprout a boner (which I do quite frequently when it's on). So today I'll be wearing the 1 3/4" aluminum
cockring all day to see if that alleviates the problem. It is completely smooth all the way around. Much higher quality (and a bit more expensive, I might add). The earliest pix in this thread show the aluminum ring.
