What is sexier than a solid metal cock ring? How about a cock ring that is constructed of brushed stainless steel, is engraved, and weighs a whopping one pound? That’s right; I’m talking about a cock ring by Gear Essentials|Cock ring by Gear essentials. I have spent the past couple of years coveting a sexy hunk of steel for my man’s package. When I saw the Celtic engraving on this ring, I put it in my wish list immediately. Of course, I don’t have a cock to put it on, so I had to wait until my husband was comfortable with cock rings, and had enough experience with them for this to even be a safe option for us. Once he was comfortable and ready for a heftier metal band, it took me mere seconds to place my order.

This is NOT a first cock ring, and it probably shouldn’t be your first metal cock ring either. The Celtic is a luxury product, constructed with the highest of quality standards. It is HEAVY. One pound may not sound like much, but it sure feels like a lot when it’s around your junk. This thing is NOT hollow; it is solid, solid and seamless stainless steel. Don’t drop it on your toes; you just might end up breaking them. Of course you could do virtually anything to this ring and I doubt it would be damaged at all. If a burglar interrupts your hot and heavy fucking, just take this bad boy off and use it ninja style to knock him out cold.

Lets say you are well experienced with cock rings, and you’ve gone through the whole process with a good, and safe, attitude. You’ve found out what your comfort level is with cock rings that snap or Velcro shut (watch the delicate skin!), and you’ve tried a stretchy ring with good success. Maybe you’ve even measured around your (as hard as is possible) erection and balls, and have your cock ring size. If you’ve already done your measuring, then I say “good for you.” If you haven’t measured, please do so before trying a metal ring. Know the rules of cock ring usage|C-Rings Forum, such as putting it on balls first (one at a time) then gently pushing your flaccid penis through as well. Pay attention to how your penis looks and feels. You should NEVER go numb, turn blue, or feel anything that isn’t pleasurable. If anything weird happens, take it off immediately! This shouldn’t happen if you have measured and found the correct fit, but it’s always better to be cautious. Of course don’t leave anything that restricts the blood flow of your penis on for more than 20 minutes. If you have difficulty getting the ring off, grab an ice pack if you have one, or else a sack of frozen vegetables, and apply it to diminish your erection and ease swelling. If this fails then seek immediate medical attention.

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, then go ahead and order what ever ring you like, but if you are on a budget, then perhaps try a cheaper ring in your correct size before investing in a more expensive one. Cock rings are a personal choice, and a hard and unrelenting metal cock ring, is a VERY personal choice, especially when they are over $80.

If you enjoy the cold, hard, and weighted feel of metal, then you will absolutely love the Celtic by Gear Essentials. This is a cock ring fit for a king, and when on your cock and balls, will make you feel like a king. I thought this thing looked hot in the pictures, seeing it wrapped around the cock and balls of my husband, was far more arousing than I could have dreamt. My husband loves the weighted feel, and found the ring to be quite comfortable. The inside of the ring is completely smooth, and the edges are rounded nicely. The engraving on the outside of the ring has some edges that are a little rough when I felt it with my finger tip, but it wasn’t noticeable at all during sex.

The ring is packaged very nicely in a handsome gift tin that is lined with crushed velvet. Of course stainless steel is very easy to take care of. After use, just wash it with soap and water (toy cleaner works too), rinse, dry, then store in the tin. If you ever see the need to sterilize, you may do so by boiling 3 minutes, 10% bleach solution followed with hot water rinse, or dishwasher top rack no soap. As far as lube goes, use whatever you like, as no lube will react badly with metal.

Of course, not forgetting functionality, the Celtic does an excellent job as an erection enhancer. My husband’s girth was not noticeably larger to the eye, but it was rock hard. I could feel the difference easily with my hands, but more importantly it was noticeable to my vagina. The engorging of the penis causes a slight pressure, which my husband finds incredibly pleasurable. He says it is difficult to explain, but his cock becomes more sensitive to stimulation. The sensations he receives are more erotic and pleasing when wearing a cock ring, particularly this one.

While being a great erection enhancer, the Celtic does not help hold off ejaculation for my husband. The added pleasure he receives from its use, negates the “longer lasting” bonus for him. Neither of us are complaining about this though, as it seems a very trivial matter when the orgasms are so powerful. Oh, wait…did I mention that his orgasms are deeper, stronger, and last longer when using this ring? Well they are, and seeing his face contort with utter pleasure is well worth the small amount of time that could have been gained by delaying ejaculation even longer.

The ring holds the sack up nicely and provides good support during vigorous activities. This comes in particularly handy for situations when low-hanging balls may get in the way. One such situation is when my husband in on top of me, riding my strapped-on cock. His balls tend to flop around some, and it not only distracts him, but invites painful pinching if he gets too carried away. Both of us feel better knowing his “family jewels” are held up safely, where we don’t have to worry about them so much.

Everything feels better and is sexier with this ring on. Blow jobs are enhanced, hand jobs are enhanced, anal sex feels better, vaginal sex feels better… everything feels better! I could go on and on about how sexy this cock ring is and how much we both love it… but I think you get the idea by now. This was perhaps the most enjoyable $85 we’ve ever spent. We will continue to enjoy this ring as often as we are able to, for as long as we are able to.
