Is fluid build up normal with a cock ring?

I used a 1.5” cock ring on my usually 5.75” base. I masturbated on and off to keep it hard for about 1 hour with slight erect bends along the way. Got rock hard with a 5.875 midshaft, usually 5.25. About 2 hours later I did it again warming up this time, midshaft got to 6.125 this time with some good kegels. Only after 30mins I noticed the base was huge at a scary 7.75, it looked like a ring of fluid build up just above the cock ring, a bit of scrotum like skin was through the ring and it was on this that it happened. For about an hour after I took the ring off I had this thick ring at the base and the skin was very dark for ages. Is this normal? Is it harmful? Would a bigger ring help? I plan on doing this more as I felt really worked out, the shaft felt really meaty and heavy all day.

Hey Trigger, did you use a rigid metal ring? I always take off my silver ring before workout, because I fear to damage the skin and vessels near the ring. The pressure in this area might be extreme, and what you describe, it seems as if I am right. I guess an adjustable and somehow flexible uli thing is much better for this purpose.

I used to wear my silver ring day and night and only took it off for PE. When I did a lot of nude bathing this summer in public I took it off to keep the beach crowd from wondering - and I found that my base somehow caught up in thickness meanwhile. When I put it back on it gave a tighter feeling than before. So I changed my habit and only wear it in the evening on work days and whenever I can smell sex. This does it for me lately :-Y

It was a rigid wooden ring, actually a curtain rail thingy. There was great pressure, I moved the ring up and down a bit to let the area get some blood into it. Adjustable or bigger is the way to go. I have some 1.5 hard water tube, I will cut off many rings and heat them and make them bigger. I can wrap them in medical bandages to get rid of any sharp corners. A black ring may be invisible on the beach hidden by hair.

:eek: …hidden by hair? Why not take a look at my kind of trim (/forum/attachme … =&postid=114904). I would NEVER grow my pubic hair as long as it would be required to hide a black ring. However, thanks for your thoughts anyway!

If I were you I would prefer “flexible” to “bigger” for your purpose. Flexibility is something which is imanent to organic structures. By just going bigger you will have too much blood flow, I’d say :-Y

I am experiencing similar problem. I used a cock ring for first time. It was about 1.5inch and about .25 inch bigger than mine. I have on and off used different PE, but never tried girth exercises. I was thinking I am pretty much conditioned after doing for sometime PE. I tried cock ring to condition my penis for later girth exercises. I spent about 2 hours or more trying to keep erection and keep pressing by ring which ultimately became a little tight to hold more blood, as I saw for first time my big and small veins protruding. So I was enjoying it. But after the exercise was over. Next day I found that I had some fluid trapped beneath skin on left side about one inch or so in diameter. It has no pain or discoloration but skin is little thick at that area due to fluid or swell from inside. It has not gone for since past 10 days. During these past days I have performed my hanging and stretching routines, but a few set lesser. I want to know how I get rid of it? Thanks.

Wearing it too long with an erection will cause edema and possible blood clots. If I edge with mine on for longer than 30 minutes, I get fluid buildup.

Taking breaks doesn’t help, either. It will allow fresh blood in, but lymph doesn’t clear out nearly as fast as blood. If you’re going to edge for long periods, leave the ring off and then put it on when you’re done.
