    Yeah this was where my brain travelled logically. Pretty easy to just drain the blood. Worst case scenario they don’t put you under, but doubt that’s the least of your concerns in this scenario.

        Well I think part of the issue is the blood is able to travel in when getting an erection, but then is restricted and unable to come back out. So icing wouldn’t do much except numb the area.

          I just can’t imagine the blood being entirely blocked by an exterior ring even when the pressure difference favors flow back into the body so heavily. Maybe if medication were involved that prevented flaccidity.

          i don’t want to do the math of the coefficient of expansion for both titanium and stainless steel rings and an erect penis and find out whether it’s better to freeze or heat it off, but if research hasn’t been done i bet it’d make for an ignoble

            I didn’t do the math either, but based on personal experience with a penis and different metals (not this kind of tho) the penis changes size a lot more than any ring. And not because of temperature changes.
