The Sex and Mischief nitrile cock ring set deeply disappointed me. I was initially excited with the prospect of three flexible rings for my Johnson, thinking about all the possible configurations until its date of arrival. Unfortunately, they just left me sore and unsatisfied.

The Sex and Mischief rings come in a set of three, so you can find just the right tool for the job. This is likely because the rings are VERY stiff. They are flexible, but they do not stretch at all, making them quite difficult to put on and take off without copious amounts of lube. Once an erection is achieved, the ring may become too tight, resulting in potentially painful restriction of blood flow.

These rings are made from Nitrile Rubber (NBR), a substitute for natural rubber in laboratory equipment for its chemical-resistant properties. It has a light scent and a STRONG taste of rubber. The rings also have a pair of molding seams that can chafe and are fairly uncomfortable. If you have any hair down there I recommend looking elsewhere, as these rings will pull it without mercy. However, you can use both water and silicone based lubes safely with them.

As this material is porous, it cannot be sterilized and should not be bleached or boiled. These rings should simply be washed with an anti-bacterial soap or toy cleaner and warm water. For safety purposes, they should never be worn longer than 20-30 minutes. Since they work by constricting blood flow, they can starve the affected area of oxygen if left on too long.

Cock rings can be worn many different ways, but traditionally they have two uses: First, a ring can be worn at the base of the penis, and second, a larger ring can be worn around both the penis and testicles. They work by partially restricting the blood flow to the penis and/or testicles. This causes near-immediate erections that are often larger and more sensitive than an ordinary erection. Additionally, by constricting the base of the penis, they also extend the duration of an erection past orgasm, delay the orgasm itself, and extend the orgasm to upwards of 30 seconds! These rings may be uncomfortable, but the Sex and Mischief Cock Rings certainly provide in this area.

I personally made the best use of the largest of the three rings, placing it around both my penis and testicles. It was easiest for me to do this by pulling my scrotum through and popping my testicles through one by one, then pushing my flaccid penis through head first, making sure to pull the ring all the way down to the base of my pubic bone. Immediately, my penis leapt to attention and before I knew it, I had a raging erection. What's more, it was longer and thicker, but not by too much. What I found far more interesting was how much more sensitive my package was. Masturbating alone caused my hips to jolt and jerk out of my control, and my testicles were throbbing--begging for release. I wasn't satisfied having only tried one ring, though. I pulled my scrotum through the middle ring and popped my balls through this one, and put the smaller one on my penis. It was overwhelming, but the one on my penis was too small, and the one on my testicles was too big for my penis. This in mind, I decided to take the smallest one off my penis and leave the two larger ones on to finish the job. The orgasm was mind-numbing. I couldn't tell when it had either started or ended. It felt like it lasted two minutes or so, just a constant dribble from my penis and powerful waves of pleasure as I came.

That's why this toy, despite its flaws, still gets three stars. It was cumbersome and uncomfortable, but it worked SO well.
