Physics of an erection

[mhorowit]

I was going to ask the question "how does a ring cause/maintain an erection?", when I read this statement: "[cock ring] constricts the veins in the penis, but not the arteries. This means blood can flow into the penis, but not out; allowing for a healthier and harder erection".

Sounds reasonable, so it passes the first "but I read it on the Internet" test. - Mike

Wow! I am working on my PhD in ED and I find your statements very enlightening. This article appears to graphically support your theory (https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/page ... iology.pdf).

I have a VED gathering dust on my bathroom shelf. It came with a cock ring which I have not used. It's time to try it out after my Trimix injection and validate this theory.

I've found I can make a serviceable ring with latex tubing formed into a 3/4"-1" circle and held in place with a small zip-tie. Mike

I'm assuming the tubing is stretchable? Otherwise I would advise do not use!!!

If I used that thing and it was not stretchable with Trimix, I could see ending up in ER with them having to cut the thing off.

Not adjustable, but I could easily add something like a large bead with a hole in it to make it so. Or simply drill a hole or two in a dowel to get the same effect. Takes less than 5 minutes to build one, so I have a collection. - Mike

That type of lasso doesn't work for me - tried many different ones. I only have luck with rings that are designed to put pressure on the veins to retain blood (i.e. Erecaid)
