Safe?

Ok I checked the FAQ thread, I tried to figure out the Library sticky but didn't have much luck.
So I kinda gave up and decided to post here, if I screwed up feel free to point me in the right direction.

My question is this.. Are Cock Rings safe?

What should a newbie user know about using one?

Welcome Night.

Your question isn't necessarily just a BDSM thing, but here are some links that may be helpful. You might want to try the How To Board.

In answer to your question, the ring restricts blood flow so wearing one for an extended period of time is unwise. In regard to your question concerning newbie knowledge, as with most things, you should educate yourself about any activity prior to trying it out. Good rule of thumb.

Good luck to you and safe explorations.

Lara, I just wanted to say that you rock. You are so helpful and the work you put into the library thread . . . I just want to say thank you. And i'm sure that I'm not the only one that agrees.

Thank you Lara I was kind of trying to avoid the How To forum.

And the educate part is why I posted my question.

Graceanne is right you do rock. Thank you for your patience.

I can't say that's a question I am often asked, which is why it isn't in the FAQ. I'm glad 'Lara could point you in the right direction.

AS with anything, trying a cock ring for short periods of time and moving into longer episodes is generally a safe way to begin.

If you are male, get to know the sensations, observe the changes in texture, color, pressure etc.

Never leave it on until the testicles are discolored unless you are with a very experienced individual who recognizes the difference between safe pressure and unsafe pressure.

(I throw that in as I am fairly new to the use of cock rings.)

As for "are they safe?"

Since entering into the wonderful world of BDSM, I have found that most things are safe in moderation and at times, with a delicate, controlled approach.
