An encounter can be speedy and simple, little more than two bodies and a bit of privacy. But many couples enjoy spicing up regular intimacy by trying new adult toys between the sheets. These nifty little instruments can add intensely pleasurable sensations to lovemaking, enhancing the experience for both partners. But adult toys may also cause damage. One of the most popular, yet risky, toys on the market is the male organ ring: a small hoop that a man places around the base of his male organ to achieve stronger tumescence. Knowing how to use these rings safely can prevent a night of steamy coupling from ending with an emergency trip to the hospital’s intensive male organ care unit.

A Bit of Support

Male organ rings are designed to trap blood within the chambers of the male organ. This causes the male organ to become dramatically hard and very sensitive to touch. As a welcome bonus, the clenching action of a male organ ring can keep a woody from fading away: allowing the average man to “last” substantially longer than he normally would during lovemaking. A male organ ring can offer enormous benefits for men who have experienced difficulty achieving and maintaining tumescence, as well as for their partners. With a ring in the right place, both partners can enjoy more satisfying encounters on a regular basis.

A Hidden Danger

Unfortunately, pleasure sometimes comes at a price, and when it comes to male organ rings, that price could be the health and function of a man’s male organ.

When a man gets hard naturally, blood flows in and out of his male organ after a few minutes of activity. That's how the human body regulates itself. But when blood is trapped in the male organ through the use of a male organ ring, the trapped blood can become depleted of oxygen and vital nutrients. This may leave the male organ cells starved of the elements they need in order to replenish themselves.

Even worse, blood that's not allowed to flow freely tends to clot and clump. The cells become sticky and they cling together for support. This can lead several male organ tissue injuries, including

• Tiny bruises
• Burst blood vessels
• Patches of discoloration
• Pockets of cell death

Reasonable Use
A male organ ring is best worn for only a few minutes at a time. After a short period of activity, a man should briefly examine his male organ for any signs of bruising or discoloration. It’s very important that the man actually looks at the male organ. During episodes of arousal, the human body sometimes mutes pain signals, meaning that a man could be doing damage to his member without realizing that anything is wrong.

Keeping a timer nearby is another effective way of monitoring the male organ during male organ ring play. After all, time tends to fly by when a man is engaged in some happy thrusting. Try setting the timer for short intervals, inspecting the male organ between each interval, and possibly removing the male organ ring briefly to allow the male organ tissue several seconds to relax and recover.

A bigger, stronger woody might cause the male organ tissues to become overstretched and chafed. Such conditions can be soothed by a quick rinse with warm water, followed by the application of a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). These products can nourish distressed manhood tissue cells, restoring them to their optimal level of health and function. Male organ health creams can also help soften and soothe any skin that might be tender after rough-and-tumble play involving toys.
