Scrotum collars, also called ball weights or ball stretchers are wonderful things. Nothing screams “bondage” to a male louder that a ring of steel around his balls. If he can’t take that steel off, the scream becomes a thundering roar. Every minute of every day, it’s there, gently squeezing and sensitizing. Why any guy would ever want to take it off is beyond me.
But there are practical concerns.
It MUST be stainless steel, not plated. Plating can wear off and create sharp edges. Anything other than stainless will corrode in the damp, moist, salty environment down there.
It MUST be silky smooth and well rounded. Anything else will wear a hole in your skin, leaving an open sore that won’t heal as long as the metal contacts it. The cheaper products available online can be atrocious in this regard. Spend the extra cash on a quality item. If there are small imperfections or sharp edges, these can be removed with a fine file then wet-or-dry sandpaper, working with finer and finer grits and finishing up with a scotch bright pad.
It SHOULD have an attachment point or two for chains or weights. You haven’t been chained until your balls are padlocked to an immovable object. Be careful if the scene is going to get rough - you don’t want to race across the room and be pulled up short (or, much, much worse, not) by you balls. If you wear leg irons, connect a chain from the scrotum collar to the center link of the leg irons. Adjust the length of this center chain so the leg irons stay well clear of the ground and so the center chain puts a gentle tug on your balls when the leg iron chain is taunt. You’ll want to take a ten mile hike just to keep feeling that tug.
It MUST fit. The band of diameters between “castration thru lack of blood flow” and “it keeps popping out” is surprisingly small. For me, 37mm inside diameter is perfect, 33mm is way too small and 41mm is too big. The difficulty is that your balls and the tissue-and-tubes connecting them to the rest of you change size and shape. When the balls are big and pulled up against you, the collar will be tight. When you balls are small and the tissue relaxed, everything will be loose. There IS a size that will be tolerably comfortable when your balls are big and tight yet snug when they are small and loose. There’s no real way to figure out that size other than wear one for a while. You’ll know if it’s too small fairly quickly. It will take several days to figure out if it’s too big. There are a few online stores that carry multiple sizes and will let you return collars until you find the right size.
I prefer a smaller, lighter collar. It won’t stretch the scrotum as much making it less visible under a bathing suit for instance. With an attachment ring, weight can always be added and removed as desired. In any case, loose underwear and pants will make things more comfortable all around. Sorry fashionistas.
It SHOULD be permanent. Ok, there’s room for discussion on this one. But there’s a whole new mental dynamic that sets in when it’s not coming off, ever, and you know it’s not coming off. Your kink life style will forever change in powerful ways. Think this one over carefully. Wear it for a few weeks to make sure the size and finish are perfect before taking the plunge.
The easy way to make it permanent is to get out your dremel tool with the little cut-off disc. Cut a slice off the Allen wrench that came with the collar that is just long enough to fill the hole in the Allen bolt flush. Make two plugs if there are two bolts. Epoxy the plugs in the heads of the bolts. The allen wrench is made of hardened steel and is a bitch to drill out. You can make a visually smooth permanence to the collar by filling in the recesses with epoxy after glueing in the plugs.
