    Just cut off the penis, remove the ring and then reattach the penis. Do I have to do everyone’s job around here?

    It appears the market has spoken, thus you must clearly upgrade your ring cutting equipment.

    That is, unless the poor sap acquired the titanium ring from Boeing or Airbus’ supplier. Then maybe you can use kindergarten stubby scissors.

      Hospitals will generally have ring cutters like this:

      Picture of a pizza-cutter like implement with an arm underneath the serrated cutting wheel.

      They are hand powered and very cost effective for gold and silver rings. Diamond tipped cutters usually need something like a Dremel to power them. They look something like this:

      Picture of a ring cutter similar to the one above but it has an electric screwdriver like attachment to power the wheel..

      They are much more expensive compared to hand powered ones, and pose a higher risk to a patient so they would require additional training to use it, which is another extra cost.

        Also, ummm, titanium gets hot. Like all metal gets hot when you cut it, that’s just how friction works.

        But titanium is gummy.

        When we cut steel it makes a nice clean chip until the tool is dull, then it’ll make ugly chips.

        When we cut aluminum or copper, we have to use tools with fewer teeth so they don’t get clogged up with chips. This is fine because these materials are so soft and we can run cutting speeds so high that having fewer teeth isn’t a big deal.

        But titanium is both gummy, in that it wants lots of space between cuts because it’ll clog up teeth, and very hard, in that it wants lots of teeth making smaller cuts.

        It’s also a shit conductor. Aluminum and copper will whisk away heat. Titanium gets hot and stays that way.

        So your titanium jewelry, wherever applied, that needs to be cut off of you, will need a diamond saw, which isn’t really a cutting tool, it’s an abrasive one. Meaning it works through aggressive, point blank friction.

        My point is if you smash your titanium cock ring on, it’s going to not only require a very uncomfortable proximity to a power tool to remove it, it’s going to absolutely burn the fuck out of your dick.

          Fascinating! However, the fire department (or whoever is your local IDR unit) will almost certainly run coolant while cutting a ring off of anyone.

          Thank you for the details! I find the different properties of metals fascinating but rarely have the time to read up on it (which isn’t made easier by having to first read up on and understand a bunch of terminology and underlying concepts, which my ADHD just doesn’t have the patience for), so comments like yours giving a bit of insight are perfect.

          Yes! I should have clarified. Wedding rings getting stuck on old people’s fingers will be the main use case for those tools, meaning people will have to buy a lot of titanium cock rings before it’s cost effective for hospitals to have electric cutting tools as standard.

            I feel like dicks would be a less likely candidate as there should be other ways to encourage the trapped member to decrease in size before resorting to cutting implements in close proximity

              Infinite possibilities does not mean all possibilities. It is possible - even probable, in most cases - to have an infinite set which does not contain all possible members.

              As an example, the set of all even numbers and the set of all whole numbers are both infinite sets with completely different contents. Even accounting for the fact that the set of all whole numbers contains the entire set of all even numbers, the two will still differ by a factor of 50%.

              I think that Vsauce explains this concept a little better than I can as I am not a mathematician, I merely watch their content on the internet.

      Gold and silver are safe. Lead is dangerous for completely unrelated reasons. Cupric alloys are probably safe assuming you aren’t allergic. Speaking of allergic you can definitely do nickel if you’re completely not allergic to it. Aluminum should be safe.

      Under no circumstances should you try tungsten.

      Not metallic and not sure about ‘alternative uses’ but ceramic is good for finger rings at least. It’s non-conductive, you can use a pliers or tap it hard with a hammer to shatter it if needed, and if it snags on something in a horrific accident scenario it’ll usually shatter before degloving or severing a finget

    I’m call BS. Titanium isn’t really very strong (about the same as copper when pure, while specialist Ti alloys are about halfway between aluminium and generic steel). People use titanium when they want something metal which is pretty strong but very lightweight. As an aside, it has pretty meh ductility for a metal and would make a poor bulletproof material, so David Guetta got that wrong too

        Wait, so that is a thing that is possible to do though? I’d have thought that it would be very difficult, with the corpora cavernosa being so spongy and all…

          I’m not a doctor and I have no idea what I’m talking about, but to my (very limited) understanding of the mechanics of it, it’s not that simple.

          You don’t get/stay erect because of the flow to your penis, sure, that’s an important part of the process, but the key to getting/staying hard is blocking flow out of the penis. In theory, again, I have no actual idea, I’m just speculating, you could go in and shunt the vein to force it to open up all the way to drain the blood, however, you may hit an obstacle in trying to do that, like a titanium cock ring.

          From the limited amount I know, it’s possible to drain the blood directly, but my understanding is that it’s not a very fun thing to try to do, because as soon as you lose the erection, it opens up vessels and more blood can flow in, so it turns into a bloodletting through your cock, and you have to essentially let the blood out faster than it can flow in, unless you cut off the arterial flow into the penis, which isn’t as simple as a single clamp. The arteries are also inside of you, so that’s also a problem. Fun times in the surgery bay? (Not really)

          The whole thing is far more complex than I really understand, so I might be way off. I’m no doctor and I’m certainly not a reproductive organ specialist (or any adjacent discipline). I’m certain that someone with far more time spent in school who earns way more than I do, can correct me on every point here, so I’ll stop.
