They are allegedly comfortable (I personally have not tried them out myself) and like most silicone gear are easy to clean.

The dildo that most resembles what we are you used to jumping on, or in some cases, easing on top of carefully is Zombi. Zombi stands straight up (no pun intended). Notice the penis head on Zombi. This is for the user who is afraid of monsters.
The most artistic and exciting of the bunch is Mythos. In addition to being a dildo it would make a great art piece. Just remember if you put Mythos on display in the bathroom don’t let your guests light it like a candle. Mythos comes in any color – you can pick a 1, 2 or 3 color Mythos. Mythos also comes in different shapes for your anal pleasure. I suggest the website make a little youtube film (or xtube film) to demonstrate. We don’t want to hurt anything or anybody. 2
Colors are limitless with few limitations, so come combinations while cool – may not be able to be done. Sadly they cannot make any metallic-looking toys.

All monsters are made of platinum-cure silicone – the industry standard, not to mention popular with the special effects industry.
Now for the serious stuff…..

The manufacturer uses safe pigments as well, and mixes them directly into the silicone. There is no concern that the silicone is ‘painted,’ as it isn’t. There are no solvents used and all the pigment is within the silicone itself. To give it that glossy look, we all like shiny things (I know I do), each monster is given a final coat of un-tinted silicone to give it that glossy look.

To keep your monster clean, ordinary soap and water will do it or just put them in the dishwasher. Storage is important too, be careful of lint so wrap them to keep them in good working order.

NOTE: Do NOT use silicon lube when playing with the monsters. Water based or oil based lubes work best for these little babies.
Custom designs are possible. You can order your monster from http://necronomicox.etsy.com
Just think, what you pals will say when they ask you what crawled up your ass today and you can really say, a one or a two eyed monster did!

Cock Splint: this crafty gizmo is great when the spirit is willing – but the ole boy needs some support. It is designed to be worn like a traditional splint down the shaft of the penis, for your dick. Its cool, smooth finish supports your dick while you get hard – adding some extra strength to the mix. A definite try, for those of you looking for something a bit different.

Size & Usage; Getting the Right Fit
Its important to know your dick size. Now this isn’t length so much as the true diameter of your penis when its fully erect.

On the other hand – you can take a few easy measurements at home. Using a piece of ribbon or wide flat dental floss. Wrap it around your dick and balls marking where the overlap is. Do this once from a soft, non erect state and then again with a hard on.

This is much more fun to do with someone .

Then lay out the ribbon and measure the distance between the points. I usually think a good fit is one that just barely stays on when loose and is just tight enough that I can barely slide the tip of my finger under when hard.

But everyone has his own preference. That’s one of the reason why the one with snaps and buckles work well for the beginner – you get a custom fit and then are able to tell which size fits you best.

Putting the solid rings on is a bit of a challenge the first time. Most guys figure out a way that work them, but its usually best to slide your balls forward into the ring first, then tuck you dick into your body a bit so you can slide it under the ring and slowly adjust yourself while sliding it forward until comfortable.

By the way its natural for some men to start to get hard while putting them on – just take your time and enjoy the experience. If you get rock hard – you make have to wait a bit before you can cram it in – don’t force it. If it hurts take it off.

By the way - unless you have an experienced buddy or trick around, the best way of course is to stop by your local fetish or leather shop and ask or call, to see if you can try them on. Most reputable ones will always let you try them on.

One of the lines they carry which I wear is called the “Silver Tongue”. This uniquely designed cock support, made of high grade aluminum, combines a cock ring with a prostate teaser. Shaped like a tear, this ring – not only keeps your dick hard, it brings it forward some giving you a great basket and when you are fucking it rubs between your legs gently massaging that “sweet spot” between your legs. Now this is my idea of a multi purpose toy!

Question: From time to time, I hear a lot of talk in the magazines and have even seen them in some of the movies, but how dangerous are cockrings? And is there a difference between cock rings and cock straps, metal or leather? Can I wear one ever day?

First the plumbing and the basics of how and why our dick gets hard.
Increased blood flows into our dick when we are excited (and even when we are not aware – such as while sleeping) this makes the penis enlarge and thicken, i.e. a hard on, woodie, etc. This is a natural process that is common to all men, boys and even infants. In some cases, whether it be due to nervousness, minimum excitement, age, medication or other issues it isn’t always as hard as it was when we were 16. But Mother Nature can get a bit of support from today’s wide assortment of rings, straps, bands and more that can help stiffen the ole “big guy”.

I thought it might be useful to simply define a bunch of the accessories for our little pocket pal to keep him at attention so when you go to order one you are on the same page as the what’s being referred to.

Cock Rings; these are usually solid metal or rubber donut shaped rings that are worn at the base of the penis and around the scrotal

Some men may also decide to wear them at the base of the shaft of the dick, especially men that do not have low hanging balls or find that the ring when around the balls gets in the way of fucking.

Be on the look out for some of the Novelty cock rings: Bunches of these are now available from such places of buygay.com or your local dirty book store. While some of them have merits – often you will need to consider them a one-off type toy, some they end up being fancy looking rubber bands with tension and support to be used often or with heavy play.

They work the same way, with the an added kick of tension beads or other creative ways to tighten the ring. Buy these with caution – if it looks cheaply made or you think it hasn’t enough tension – it may not work for your needs. Remember the idea behind them is to fit tight enough to keep the blood flow in your dick. Also be on the look out for fancy metals, plastic or coated toys they can irritate the skin, make knick or cuts when they break down or come into contact with water and soaps.
