From the excellent craftsmen in Germany comes a cock ring like you’ve never seen before. The Super 8 ring from the Metal Dream line is really unique in both form and function. First of all, it is made of a brushed finish stainless steel so it looks good and is extremely easy to care for. The stainless steel construction also means that not only is it durable it also has no give to it, so this cock ring falls into the advanced category. Additionally, since it is not really circular but shaped more like an ‘8’ the interior dimension is actually smaller than a regular cock ring of the same dimensions. Finally, the Super 8 is hinged so that it can be put on and taken off without as much penis pushing and pulling.

Stainless steel is a pretty amazing material to have a sex toy made out of. It, of course, is very hard and responds quickly to variations in temperature, so if you desire a warm or cold cock ring just put it in the temperature of water you desire before putting it on. Stainless steel is also very easy to care for. Just wash it with antibacterial soap and water or sterilize it by boiling or wiping with a 10% bleach solution or just throw it in the dishwasher. Stainless steel is also safe to use with any type of lube you want, so pull out your favorite and go to town.

As far as actual use, the Super 8 is definitely an advanced cock ring. For comparison purposes it provided greater constriction than a 2” diameter stainless steel cock ring. If your other cock rings don’t quite squeeze you enough, than this might just do the trick. Although it is not necessary to squeeze your cock and balls through the ring because it can open up, it is still necessary to be careful to keep from pinching your flesh while closing the device around your junk. If you like pain, the pinch can just add to the fun, but either way, consider yourself warned.

If you’ve been looking for a rigid cock ring but are afraid of it being stuck in place when you are done with it, then the Super 8 represents a decent solution for this problem. It is not without some discomfort, but if it does the job, it might all be worth it.

In actual use, I found myself concerned about the prospect of having the skin at the top of my penis pinched while closing the Super 8. It took some effort to make sure that there was no skin in the way. Once I had the cock ring on, it did its job very well and with a little oral stimulation I had a firm erection in no time at all. The constriction provided by the Super 8 was able to keep me rock hard through all of our activities and even kept my penis engorged after I had reached my climax.

During our activities, we had to make sure our position was right or my partner complained about the ring causing her irritation. Our favorite missionary positions weren’t so good, but doggy style was fine. If you aren’t in the habit of going “hilt deep” then you probably won’t run into the same problem. By the time we were finished, however, the flesh of my penis around the ring had become irritated from the unforgiving edges of the ring itself and so I did experience some discomfort during use. There was a definite uncomfortable pinch as I released my penis from the constriction of the ring as well. It wasn’t unbearable, but again, there can be some discomfort there.
