    Every ring I’ve ever owned that was made out of titanium has shattered. Seems like you could just crack it with a pair of pliers or something.

      Also, the ER probably wouldn’t need to resort to cutting a cock ring in the first place. It has no bones, just get some ice packs on it or worst case scenario do a controlled bleed on the distal portion.

        I’m not a fan of how casually you used the phrase “controlled bleed”

          You know that whole “erection lasting longer than four hours” bit?

          Yeah thats how they fix it.

          It should never be done casually, I’d let a professional physician handle it if I were you.

            No exacto knife then?

              They use scalpels, which are basically the same thing.

              There are few problems in the world that a good dremel can’t fix

              This might be one of them though

          It’s certainly preferred to “uncontrolled”

        True, a titanium ring has no bones. But won’t ice just shrink the ring. 😉

        That must be the case but at the same time it makes me wonder why titanium rings aren’t made with the shatter resistant alloy, or why it’s expensive to get a titanium wedding band that shatters easily but apparently titanium cock rings are common and affordable enough that there’s an ER PSB out on it.

          There actually are reasons you want an alloy to break easily, street signs are designed to do this to minimise vehicle damage in a crash while still providing resistance to halt the vehicle as an example.

          As for the cock rings, if you asked the metal shop owner that got commissioned for it, they’ll get a thousand yard stare before commenting that it isn’t even close to the most “intimate” custom order they’ve been paid for.

            notably, harder metals tend to be more brittle, it’s almost never desired, except for like, tempered glass, for example.

            I’m going to leave the question unasked.

          Titanium camping cutlery definetly doesn’t shatter, it bends like steel. But it does scratch easily so maybe your rings used a harder alloy to prevent scratches

      I didn’t think titanium was prone to shattering. That’s more of a tungsten thing.
