    So it’s rubber/silicone only then or is there another metallic option? Asking for me.

      Well I think as it relates to fingers, precious metals are fine. Generally soft enough that cutting isn’t an issue.

          I love that even after millennia of human society and culture, I still regularly run into comments that make me think, “Yeah, that’s the first time anyone has ever said that.”

            If the universe is truly infinite and as homogeneous as it appears to be, then an infinite amount of people had already said that, will say that and are saying it right now.

              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.

          You get golden cock ring cash by not buying golden cock rings. I think that’s from The Millionaire Next Door.

          Are you interested because of the cash, the cock ring, or both?

      Probably not depleted uranium.

          It’s depleted. They’ll just get something like lead poisoning but much worse.

      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.

        Plutonium and Uranium are RIGHT OUT.

        You can crumble a tungsten ring with a pair of vice grips with minimal force.

          Maybe I’m just remembering the time I tried to bend tungsten and needed a bandaid afterwards

        Why not? Tungsten smashes easily with a hammer.

          Not in my dialect it isn’t. Cupric is at least how it was spelled in engineering school

      Dude, just because the hospital can cut off softer materials doesn’t mean you want to end up at the hospital for them to do it. Just use silicone.

        It’s my kink though. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a saw revenge up to 8000 rpm as it heads for your junk.

      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
