Nighttime erection vs. cockring panic

[janmb]

Since we recently decided to venture into steel based devices (our Jailbird should be here in a few weeks time), she has started "training" me by using solid steel rings - more or less the same sizes as I've typically been using on my CB6K.

To put it mildly, the first night I tried to sleep in a solid ring was a quite scary experience...

Much like expected I woke up in the middle of the night with a massive wood. Nothing shocking there. But what happened next kinda took me by surprise: I almost panicked...

I suddenly realized I was in a situation I had no control over - at least it felt that way... Having a massive erection, for a large part caused by the ring itself (hard enough to hurt even without wearing a cage), which in turn makes it impossible to remove the ring, which in turn makes it hard/impossible to lose the erection at will... And round and round it goes... I'm sure you see where this is going.

After a scary 30 minutes or so I finally got out of the ring, but for later I'd like to know I am slightly more in control so to speak. I don't mind being locked down and lose control in that way - I trust my KH with my life without hesitation. But the feeling of losing control over removal of the base ring was a completely new and unwelcome experience.

I guess what I'm asking is basically whether others have had similar experiences and what tricks or tips you might have when it comes to getting rid of a morning wood when you really need to. Most of all to have the confidence of knowing I could if I needed to.

All tips and tricks greatly appreciated

I find it to be less of a problem when the cage is on than when it is off. I think having "everything" contained makes it better. I don't think I would wear as small of a ring as I do with the cage through the night without the cage.

Whatever you do, be careful. If you get in that situation again try using ice / ice water to get everything to go down. If necessary send it back to get the ring made bigger. I think Bill will resize it for free, just pay shipping.

Thanks

Not too much to be done about size really, as a grower there is a fine (and difficult) balance to be found between small enough to avoid "Houdini" balls while being large enough to avoid the problems in my first post...

The ring I used was precisely the same size as I use on my CB6k

For the Jailbird we have ordered both a slightly smaller ring (about 1/16 smaller than my current ring) as well as a larger one to use for starters as I get used to it. I'm 100% sure the larger ring will be large enough, probably too much so. I am equally sure the smaller ring will be slightly challenging to get used to, maybe too much so. The only question mark is whether I'll need something in between, but we'll cross that bridge when we get that far.

I'm not overly worried about the Jailbird at all - I have had no real issues with the CB either, apart from the design not being the best for us uncut guys (because of how the tip is designed).

I guess I shall have to experiment and get over the fear factor of solid rings in general, as well as learn how to get rid of the erection in a controlled manner when I need to. That is the key problem right now - the feeling of no control over the erection. And as you say, it is easier with a complete CB on rather than just the ring, where things are allowed to grow out of control.

My main worry is really the health aspect - fortunately you tend to wake up from night time erections when wearing rings or CBs, but kinda scary to think about the consequences if you don't... Having an erection with zero or very little blood flow over any much time at all isn't exactly a good thing

Basically I can't wear my JB at night, or any other device. The night time erections are just too painful and disturb both our sleep way too much. Getting up and peeing helps the hardon go but for us it just is not worth the hassle and disruption. I am sure I am not alone , but I go from about 1 inch soft to 6.5 erect, the cage is just too much of a killer...

Well, I guess night time erections is a challenge and possibly a problem for everyone, but I've been able to wear my cb6000 24/7 before so that's why I was a bit surprised this time. Basically the problem is the fear from knowing that you HAVE to lose the erection to lose the ring - and stupidly enough my body tend to react to fear the exact opposite way of what most people think

Hubby had a hard time at night to start with and could barely sleep the first night he tried it al night. But he got used to it surprisingly quickly, I guess his body adjusted. I do let him use a bigger ring at night during the day and that seems to help too, though it would be nice to leave it on day and night without changing so I could post the key away for a few days!

Although it has been said, I wanted to add my thoughts since I've had a similar experience. Basically, I was playing around with steel cock rings and barely got them on, got erect, and couldn't get them off. I panicked as well. What worked for me was COLD (ice cold water worked better than ice for me). I must add that I had to mentally concentrate on non-sexual thoughts, and snap my body out of its sexual mode.

I know at night it is more of a biological thing rather than a sexual thing, but my two cents anyway.

I certainly had similar issues at first. I think you'll find that with time it gets better. It's important to remember to get up and pee when the urge hits you at night. For me, that's the main problem. After wearing regularly overnight for a few weeks, I find my midnight wood gets less intense.

I've found that urinating and focusing on something else for a bit normally helps me. It is a bit easier with the cage in place however. Since I'm a smoker, I normally just pee and then light one up while I wait for it to get under control down there. The nicotine helps relax me and that's exactly what I need to get the wood to go down you understand.

Totally agree, when I first got my steelworxx device and was basically too excited to even get it on, I would start with just the "A ring" and quickly develop such a full errection I was worried the ring was too tight and causing a slight edema (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edema). I later discovered that if I could get the tube on as well my erection couldn't get to that point and the whole thing was perfectly comfortable.
