When I found out that I was going to receive the English cock and ball cage from Eden Fantasys, I was pretty excited. Not only does it represent my first sex toy review, but I thought this device looked cool and I was excited to wear it in different situations.

I already have the Three Gates of Hell - a device also by Doc Johnson, so I have some experience with this type of bdsm toys. Although the Three Gates of Hell looks cool on an erect penis, I've always thought that it was very limited in its functionality, because it doesn't really work to wear it when you're flaccid, and wearing it during intercourse would not be comfortable.

The English Cock and Ball Cage is different because it offers a lot more functionality. I found that I could wear it all day long if I kept the strap portion on a loose setting and when it was time for fun, I could keep it on through all of our activities and could tighten up the strap at the appropriate time to potentially help create a stronger and longer lasting erection. My wife said that it was nice when she was working on me orally because it kept my balls up out of the way of my taint and asshole. During intercourse she found it distracting when I entered her from behind, but it wasn't uncomfortable for her when I was on top. I considered that a successful test run!

I probably won't wear the English cock and ball cage all day long very often because it does tend to create some extra perspiration down there and in the Arizona summer heat, you don't really want to create extra sweat if you don't have to. Also, I am a little concerned with the effect of excessive moisture on the leather portions of the device because I want this bad boy to last as long as it can.

Now, I consider myself to be pretty average in cock and ball size, so it might not work for everyone the same way it does for me, but I really found it more comfortable to wear "sideways" with the connecting straps on the sides of my shaft instead of on the top and bottom like the picture on the package displayed.

Overall, I felt like this device put the 'fun' back in 'functional' for cock and ball devices! I would definitely give the English Cock and Ball Cage a near perfect rating. To get a perfect overall rating, the leather portions would have to be made out of a more water proof material. I think that would increase the device's functionality, but then it might not fit as well into the bondage and fetish category. I think my favorite application will be to put it on before the wife and I go out on the town so that I will always have a little reminder of what's in store when we get home - kind of like cool jewelry for my cock.

Ahhh, the first toy I reviewed. It's like a walk down memory lane. I still have this toy although I don't find myself using it all that frequently. It has a special place in my sock drawer so I can put it on in a moment's notice if the need arouse. I guess that's what this kind of toy is all about. Being there when you need it. Although my balls tend to hang a little lower now, my opinions haven't changed - it still looks cool when it's on and it sits better with the straps to the sides of my cock. I haven't had to do anything to the leather yet and it seems to be holding up well, so maybe my worry was unnecessary. I think it is still a great toy for the BDSM crowd.
