My relationship with this cock ring would be like comparing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a little volatile. Or, in the words of Mr. Dickens: "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

I hated Dickens, so let's forget about him and move on to the good stuff. This ring arrived at my house, and I have to admit that I had high expectations for it. I've had some cock rings before, but none that have really had the clit-stimulating power that I've been looking for. The packaging left a little to be desired. It was just kind of a simple plastic/cardboard rig. The thing that probably upset me the most about the product was that it didn't come with any instructions. No cleaning tips, battery install directions, etc. Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal, but the battery installation was somewhat complex.

The ring is controlled by a vibrating bullet, which is powered by watch batteries. Having never used a bullet before, I really had no idea what I was doing. It probably took me close to 45 minutes to figure everything out. I was just about ready to give up. I didn't really like the battery housing. It just seemed too lose and shoddy construction. The on/off switch also felt kind of flimsy.

But then there's the performance! My girl absolutely loved this guy. The wings stimulated her outer lips during sex, and the antennas of the butterfly were perfectly in place over her clit. She said it was one of the best sessions she ever had. It was the best of times. But then....

It was the worst of times. We only got two moderately-timed uses out of this guy. 25 minutes is a generous estimate. I don't know about you, but we were really let down. It really sucked when we were in the middle of a session, and we could feel the power start to die. I kinda felt like Frodo when Gandalf goes over the edge in Moria, and you just see his face as he comes to the realization that he's losing something that he loves. I said the same thing Frodo did when Gandalf died: " NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I liked what it did while it was still in optimal condition, though. Great sensations, did an okay job at increasing erection, etc. However, everything else about it was pretty difficult to deal with. Bottom line: pony up and get this if you have reliable bullet you can swap in. If not, I'd pass on this one.

The only thing that's changed my mind on this ring is how much my lady adores it. She absolutely goes crazy when we use it. And what the woman wants, the woman gets. If only the batteries in the bullet vibe lasted a little longer, maybe my attitude would change for the better as well.
