Ball shrinkage causes pain and issues, can't be locked for long periods.... help.

Post by bondageboi »

Hello,

Seeking real help here.

I suffer from a problem where my balls shrink up to the point there it causes so much pain I can't wear a device for more than 12 hours or so. In this case, I have a more recent model of a Holy trainer.

When my sack is more slack, and they haven't receded, etc. the fit is fine, and I can wear it for hours, etc. But more often than not, usually on a daily basis, I will experience them retracting, shrinking and all of a sudden, a growing pain occurs since they have no where to go, and it become so agonizing I have to remove it. Again, this is nearly a daily occurrence preventing me from staying locked for long periods of time.

While this seems pretty normal, and the way the testicles function, etc. this just keeps me from fulfilling my promise to my master of staying locked, and eventually have a full time key holder.

It would be great to hear from others who have this issue, or have had this in the past, and if there are ways to deal with this to stay locked.

Thank you to all who can chime in and help.

I need to keep my sack warm or it retracts and the base ring gets tight. Maybe try warmer underclothes??? Experiment in a bath tub of hot water. See if they loosen and lower. I have learned what temperature I need to be to keep things loose. Good luck.

On my cage, the steel BON4M, I put latex tubing over the ring, which makes it way more comfortable… twice a day, I use a little moisturizer underneath the ring as a lubricant, I rarely feel the pain when my scrotum is tight… usually in the early morning… course I also live in Texas, so… not too many cold days

Thanks for those shared insights, much appreciated.

I guess a follow up would be about stretching. Seems like i need to seriously consider that. But...

Does that really work, is that possible? I have no clue on "ball stretching". LOL. Seems like that would be as problematic, and the same issue would just prevent me from being able to successfully stretch them just enough so that when things shrink, it won't cause pain when locked.

Any additional insights is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It definitely works. It takes patience, and listening to your body. My balls used to be quite "high and tight" and even a 1cm high weight / spacer was difficult to get on. By now, years later, I can wrap my hand around my scrotum and have the balls below. Whether you want to take it that far (or further), is entirely up to you.

Some kind of bag balm helps, a mix of Shea and Coconut is well liked. If there's a burning sensation, give your sack a rest.

The inner diameter of any weight you get will be a matter of experimentation. There are toys that are oval, those are usually far easier to size than round ones. You don't want your testicles to slip through - bruising ain't fun - and you also don't want to cut off circulation. A difference of even 1mm can be a lot.

I've been getting a dull ache at the backside of my balls. Yesterday it kid of just went away and I went on to a 12hr wear. Wore it to bed and woke up at midnight ish and was in pain so had to take it off. My question is does a double ring help? I'm high and tight and read that might not be an option for me.

With me, the problem is cage slide due to temp changes. When I’m high and tight, the cage will fit great. The warmer I get, the more it slides. I’ve tried using small base rings but I can only go just so small before thst becomes dangerous.
So far as ball pain, I believe someone posted the solution above. It’s often caused by the gap between the tube and the base ring. If this gap is too narrow, you will experience ball pain especially during nighttime erections. You may need a cage with a larger gap.

Use a hot water heating pad.
This worked for me esp when I worked from home.
A little heat, everything gets OK, and then usually stays that way for some hours.

Also it might get better w time. i.e. days, weeks of 24/7, body gets more used to it.

re:stretching, yes, you can prep for this.
I got these soft silicone rings before I ever got a cage, and just wore them for hour/hours/days to ease into it before a locked steel ring.

I've been using an electric heating pad. I wear sweat pants, turn on the heat pad and tuck it down my sweat pants wrapping it over and around my caged cock and under my balls. It really works as it warms up my balls and loosens my sac.
