“Do your balls hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?...” I think many of you know the rest of that dirty version of an old camp song. I used to think I could answer “yes” to that question set to verse, at least sometimes. Then I met the V style cock and ball toy. This is a leather contraption that is a cock ring with added straps that are designed to separate the testicles from each other and from the shaft. All the straps are connected via snaps to enable ease of installation and some adjustability. I found the idea actually somewhat difficult to apply. It might just be my genetics, but my balls just don’t have enough skin between them to make putting on the V-style easy. In fact, there are a second set of snaps on the “ball” straps that will allow for tighter constriction of one’s testicles. There is no way in the world I could use that tighter set of snaps, at least on one side… Talk about your case of blue balls! On the other hand, maybe that is the point; it is a BDSM toy after all. As a side note, the leather of the V-style that I received is black, but the device is available in red as well.

Anyway, after a bit of effort, I can get the V-style positioned and as long as I pay attention, the device seems to stay in place pretty well. If I am just sitting around watching TV, however, my balls will eventually escape their bonds to rest more easily. When I am wearing the V-style, it does keep everything in place and the feeling of my balls against my legs is different than if I am not wearing it. I find that I am somewhat distracted by having it on, but I am sure this is an intended effect.

During oral sex, the V-style lifts my “equipment” up out of the way of my perineum and anus so that my wife finds it easier to “work” back there. I found that the cock ring portion did have a slight impact on maintaining my erection and allowing me to last longer during intercourse, but I think there are better devices available if this your desire. The cock ring portion itself is relatively comfortable to wear and I found that I could wear it for long periods of time at the normal diameter without difficulty.

Overall, I found the V-style fascinating and somewhat useful in a few different applications. It is not as well made as some leather toys as only the outside is finished. All in all, it is a pretty basic sex toy at a pretty basic price. I will probably not use it all that much because I didn’t find it all that comfortable, but every once in a while, when I want to torture my balls a little bit, I’ll put it on for a round in bed.

I'm somewhat older now, and my balls may hang a little lower, but they still don't hang low enough to make this V-style cock and ball toy comfortable to wear. They say that your testicles slowly drop lower as you age, so maybe eventually it'll be enough to make this work better. Maybe when I'm 50. Until then, I'll keep wearing it occasionally for short periods of time and enjoy the cool look of leather with steel snaps wrapping around my junk.
