Honestly, I think I need to give this one another try. I'll try it both ways. I would love to love this ring as I do like the extra weight.
Have any steel ring fans tried the Esculpta ‘MUSE’ ring? It looks great, is available in 3 different finishes and sizes, is stackable, and is body contoured yet lighter than those heavy ‘Epic’ steel rings mentioned on the last page. I loved the shape of those perhaps even more than the Primal shape, but the weight (140g) was too much for me. The MUSE rings are 50-65g depending on size which is a weight I really like, where I can feel my hard cock throbbing and pulsating against the metal, yet without the heavyness that can make me feel desensitised and leaves me aching afterwards. These are made in Greece, so shipping time to UK should be less than it was with Primals. I can’t find a great deal of photos / reviews online or these, other than a few on Reddit, so thought I’d ask here. I really want to try one of these. I think the size advice is to go for your normal round steel ring size, as opposed to a size down like Primals.
^ I guess nobody has tried the Esculpta ‘MUSE’ ring then. I couldn’t resist any longer. Will post my thoughts when it arrives. I love a good body contoured steel ring.
I checked out the website. The shape of the rings look interesting as well as other jewelry they have. What man stack did you get to try out? (Duet. triplet, etc) Keep us posted on your experiment once your rings arrive. I made my own set of rings. One each for my glans, sack, and shaft. Don't wear any against my groin as shown on the Esculpta website. Having a machine shop helped customize the sizes to fit perfectly. I wear them days at a time. The way the ring for my shaft fits I can have nice erections come and go plus it, along with my sack ring, lifts my genitals out and away from my body some. Makes a difference under my clothes as my package is more prevalent. I've noticed the looks I get when wearing the rings. That I like. They also enhance sex and masturbation. Since I was able to fit them perfectly I have no problems wearing them for sex except I do remove the glans ring for intercourse and masturbation.
The Esculpta MUSE ring is pretty good. I just saw it as a lightweight alternative to those heavy ‘Epic’ streamlined / contoured steel rings. Doesn’t squeeze the balls together & up like round rings do. They just kind of sit & hang over that part of the ring. Size wise, the XL (55mm, which is what I’d use for a round cock & balls ring) is quite comfy, but the sensation of my hard cock throbbing & pulsating against the steel (which is what I love about a good fitting steel ring), doesn’t match that of a Primal Spark or Energy, or a round banded steel ring, probably because it’s more curved than those, where the front of the cock meets it. If anything it wasn’t quite tight enough, but dropping a size to L (50mm) would no doubt be too tight. I don’t really do stacking so I only ordered a single ‘slice’. Also I don’t like that the brand name is engraved onto the inside of the ring, I’d rather it be plain or more discreet like the Primal ‘P’ on the outside of their rings. I’ll try it out some more, but I think I prefer my Primals & maybe even a 55mm round steel ring
Thanks for the update. i suspected by the shape of the MUSE ring the scrotum would hang right down and not have much support. That won't push out the cock which is the effect I enjoy. I think the only way would be to stack them and I wonder what the pinch effect would be when doing so. Plus knowing every human body part is a different size it is my advantage to be able to make my own. I can fit a ring to my body and not wonder if a purchased one will fit correctly. I do like the look of the shape of it but if it won't do what I want then that's a moot point.
Thank you for the update. I was considering trying a MUSE but I think I'll hold off for now. I love my Primal rings, I can wear them for many days straight. I have plenty of round, SS rings that aren't as comfy as the Primals. I'm not quite ready to try something new, especially hearing about your experience. I may try one one day though.
I really dislike round steel rings now after moving to contoured ones. I posted this in another cock ring topic and wonder if you have tried this yet with the Primals?: “I tried something different with the Spark, which was to flip it round, with the rounded part under my balls and the ‘keyhole’ part against my cock. This gave a really nice sensation, the balls stayed in place, the keyhole part (pointing slightly left of me) nicely framed a rather prominent vein on the front of my cock, applying a light but very pleasurable pressure, plenty of pre cum oozed out and after an hour of sensual edging, I shot an excellent load. Anyone with a Primal should try this!” I very much recommend this
Me and my partner did try a vibrating cock ring once but we were a bit let down by it, we didn't find it any better than our usual sex
I've tried a handful. FIt is important. When I first started using them I had an unshaven pubic area and some of the rings caught hair and pulled and I found them uncomfortable, After I started waxing, it was better but fit is still important. I prefer the ones that fit under your my balls as well as around my shaft at the very base. It leaves a lot of cock for use however we decide to do it. I don't prefer the balls only ones or the ones that cup my balls. Seems to just get in the way. I only sometimes use them now. She'll suck me hard and then put my cock through it and adjust it below my sac to make it tight and full. After a minute or two my cock gets more engorged and when she likes it, she goes back to sucking. I always wanted to do anal with her when I was wearing that but she won't even consider it.
I’ve got a bunch of silicone ones. One around the balls, one the base of the shaft and then a third around the cock and balls. Makes everything super hard and super sensitive!
I have several rings also that I don’t use often. My go to is an electric band around the base of my cock and balls. Sometimes add another around the balls. Love how they feel and how hard I get (wearing one now). My concern is that if I don’t cum in short order, how long is it safe to wear them? I’ve put them on in the morning and leave them on for hours, running errands, I’ve read cock rings for around 30 min, but nothing on the cock and balls bands. ???????????
Presume you mean ‘elastic band’ not ‘electric band’? I would think the advice would be the same. Not sure any decent cock ring maker would advise wearing for more than 30 minutes at a time. Each to his own, but I’ve never understood the wearing a cock ring / having a butt plug inserted for several hours thing. 30-45 mins is about my normal time to have a ring on for. 60 mins absolute most. And then only a well fitted Primal ring. When I wore a round steel cock & balls ring for an hour during a jerk off session (I really only use contoured ones now), it was either too loose or too tight and started feeling nippy / pinchy & made me feel desensitised, taking the pleasure away. A light restriction and press against the steel is enough for me. I hate the feeling of my cock being strangled by either a stretchy silicone ring, or a steel ring that’s too tight. With the cock & balls ring, I’m sure they say you should be able to insert a finger in space between your nutsack & the ring, when hard. The last time I used a round ring that was a little too small, I couldn’t fit one in, and whilst it felt good for a few minutes, it soon started pinching me. I threw it in the trash.
I did mean a silicone band…..specially hair bands. Stretchy but snug enough to get my balls high and tight. Silicone cock rings after I’m hard and lubed up with coconut oil and getting close. Maybe it’s my imagination, but when I’m wearing those my orgasms seem much more intense. I wonder if it’s the restricted ejaculation flow that does it? Butt plugs are fun for me to wear for hours when I’m in the mood.
I think it's the restricted blood flow. At least my glans are more sensitive when wearing my cock ring, My cock head becomes purple the nearer to orgasm I get. It feels intense when I cum and sometimes my shaft is so engorged not a lot of semen comes out.
Without knowing any details about your size when fully erect, it sounds like you need to explore the vast variety of sizes and styles that are available and find one or two that are a good fit for you and do what you want it to. I'd always seen ads about them and their claims and dismissed them as another gimmick until I decided to explore the pump method of increasing my girth and maybe even length, and the pump kit came with a few cock rings. I figured what the hell and began trying different ones and found one I liked. And OMG, what a difference it made in my size and maintaining it, I was impressed. And now since meeting my new wife and she's been supportive and the recipient of the results of them, she's a big fan also. What goes in stays in when it comes to your erection with the rings.
