Graduated Plug

My collection already has a number of sounds for fun and experimentation, but when I came across this interesting plug, I had to give it a whirl.

Unlike my other tapered sounds, this one is step-wise graduated in .5mm increments and is marked along the shank as the size increases. This allows you know exactly what size works for you as well as to help you push to the point of “cannot take any more”. For me, that’s well before this rod maxes out at 10mm. Indeed, about 8.5mm is the most can handle. That’s well and good given that this rod doesn’t have a flared end to prevent all 90mm of it from sliding completely in if such a large 10mm size could even fit.

My Wedding Band - Sancus by Himeros

It is with great excitement that I share the results of a collaborative effort with Andrew at Himeros! As a discerning collector, I own practically every manner of adornment… but have always felt a desire for a special piece that I just couldn’t find out in the market. That missing piece of the collection is an adornment that matches my very own wedding band. Having been married for 17 years, I’ve worn a ring (the design was of my choosing) on my finger every day as a sign of dedication and love for my queen, so why not adorn myself elsewhere with the same design?

Himeros Athos

When Andrew at Himeros announced back in October/November that some new designs were available, I had to take a look. With the three new options out there, I decided that Athos would be my second Himeros ring after falling in love with himeros-proteus/.

As is the case with King Rings, Himeros rings are based on available designs for finger rings, but enlarged and tweaked to serve a greater purpose on your manhood. The attention to detail shows, of course. As an ultra-premium ring, Athos has a gently radiused inner profile as you would expect that flows into the bevel cut on the exterior of the ring. The finish is as smooth and flawless as is befitting a jewelry quality adornment. Similar to the Sea Dragon, the flat face features an inlay in which a clean palette is given to fill with various materials or designs. Utilizing this space, Athos is filled with a silver-colored metallic design that Himeros describes as resembling “solidified lava”. I enjoy this interpretation, but for some reason the word “moonstone” Just keeps coming to mind for me. In any event, it makes for a handsome and visually striking adornment.

Custom Black Jade and Green

As a fan of any adornment made of exotic materials, I become even more of a sucker for custom designs. Although I have experience with jade as a material for my adornments through repurposing bangles and other such items, it immediately drew my attention when I discovered that KayeeEthnic on Etsy offers custom-sized adornments specific to the art of manhood adornment. I had to have one.

This design features a generously portioned height and width to ensure that it does not dig in as the blood gets flowing. The inner profile is not radiused as is seen on other very comfortable rings, but this is much less of an issue given that the ring is less than half an inch in width. I’d have to say that the proportions of the design definitely fit the purpose as an adornment much more so than my repurposed jade bangles which have a tendency to cut/dig in. Makes sense given the purposes!

FRKK Curved Cock and Shaft Trainer Cage

Similar to the flat trainer cage already in the collection, this adornment increases the comfort factor by leveraging the ubiquitous curved band design that has made its way into most Chinese adornment inventories.

An important difference between this model and the other models in the collection is the fact that the shaft ring is a generous 1 1/2". This is a welcome change from the 1 1/4" shaft of the other model. Knowing one’s size is important with any metal ring - doubly so if you are doubling the constriction by use of a cock and shaft ring. In this case, the 1 3/4" cock ring leads to an intense erection that perfectly fits the 1 1/2" shaft. This makes sense given my usual size for a shaft ring is 1 3/8" - the thicker erection from the cock ring better fills the shaft.

Ballistic Metal Trax

Another quality design from Ballistic Metal, the Trax is a “chunky” aluminum ring sharing the raw aluminum finish found on several other models. Similar to the raptor in design, the ring has a rectangular profile with the full outer profile notched with grooves from front to back. If looking closely, one can see that the grooves almost appear threaded due to the tool marks as they were cut into the body. For me, this enhances the look, but stands in contrast to the Raptor which has smooth cut notches (albeit far fewer than Trax).

Schmuckcockring Priapus Gemmed Shield

Schmuckcockring makes some really cool custom cock shields. These adornments, of course, surround your cock like any other ring would, but also extends above and below. This adds lots of visual interest by really drawing attention to your member but also serves the added benefit of reducing pinching of no mans land while seated.

These charming gems provide an elegant way to end date night with your partner! With the supreme comfort one would expect from a shield like this, expect to love this shield.

Gear Essentials Quarter Screw Glans Ring

Designed to match the tremendously comfortable screw series from Gear Essentials, the quarter screw glans ring is a lightweight, highly polished aluminum adornment. The rounded edges ensure comfort and the striking finish easily matches the half screw cock ring that is already in my collection. The only thing left is to purchase a shaft ring to complete the set - which, unfortunately, is lost to time given the untimely demise of Gear Essentials as a manufacturer.

Braided Steel Wire Glans Ring

Another Etsy find from steelcraftsman, this simple glans ring is made from a braided stainless steel twist wire (industrial!) captured with a bead to close off the loop. Beautiful and rugged in its simplicity, this glans ring looks great when paired with other industrial adornments .

Slash Fit Stainless Glans Ring

Suddenly, this glans ring started appearing in random browsings as I looked for new adornments - so I had to oblige and pick it up. Available from a number of online retailers on AliExpress and Etsy, this stainless steel glans ring is a typical “band” design that has been modified with a slash to follow the contours of the glans better.

The design is clever and I’m surprised by how much I appreciated the way the proportions fit the shape of my head so well. Typical band rings will require you either angle your head “upward” for the frenulum to ride atop the band or to keep everything ‘straight’ and leave a gap between the under side of your glans and the top of the band.
