Every ring I've ever owned that was made out of titanium has shattered. Seems like you could just crack it with a pair of pliers or something.

Also, the ER probably wouldn't need to resort to cutting a cock ring in the first place. It has no bones, just get some ice packs on it or worst case scenario do a controlled bleed on the distal portion.

I’m not a fan of how casually you used the phrase “controlled bleed”

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

You know that whole "erection lasting longer than four hours" bit?

Yeah thats how they fix it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well consider me afraid and unaroused

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Excellent, then we don't need the controlled bleed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Great, now they’re unafraid and aroused. Time for that controlled bleed.

It should never be done casually, I'd let a professional physician handle it if I were you.

They use scalpels, which are basically the same thing.

There are few problems in the world that a good dremel can't fix

This might be one of them though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's certainly preferred to "uncontrolled"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

True, a titanium ring has no bones. But won't ice just shrink the ring. 😉

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it depends on the alloy?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That must be the case but at the same time it makes me wonder why titanium rings aren't made with the shatter resistant alloy, or why it's expensive to get a titanium wedding band that shatters easily but apparently titanium cock rings are common and affordable enough that there's an ER PSB out on it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

There actually are reasons you want an alloy to break easily, street signs are designed to do this to minimise vehicle damage in a crash while still providing resistance to halt the vehicle as an example.

As for the cock rings, if you asked the metal shop owner that got commissioned for it, they'll get a thousand yard stare before commenting that it isn't even close to the most "intimate" custom order they've been paid for.

There actually are reasons you want an alloy to break easily

notably, harder metals tend to be more brittle, it's almost never desired, except for like, tempered glass, for example.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I'm going to leave the question unasked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Titanium camping cutlery definetly doesn't shatter, it bends like steel. But it does scratch easily so maybe your rings used a harder alloy to prevent scratches

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I didn't think titanium was prone to shattering. That's more of a tungsten thing.
