Are Stretchy Penis Constriction Rings Safe?
I'm in very good health, 65 years old. have had ED for about 10 years. Recently have had very frequent problems w/ maintaining erections during intercourse. My questions: are stretchy penis constrictor rings safe? I bought one and it seems to work much of the time.

hello
thank you for trusting HCM
Dear as with any sex toy or device, constriction-rings are safe if used properly. But no matter if you're using an appropriate sized ring in a safe and proper manner, you must not wear a constriction-ring any longer than 30 minutes. After a few hours of having an erection for any reason (constriction, pharmaceutical drugs or herbal products, or even just being that aroused for that long) can cause permanent and irreversible nerve and vascular damage to the penis. And I mention appropriate size because even short periods of too much constriction can cause similar damage.
so dear keep in mind that constriction rings may cause damage if it is not used properly. please take advice from sexologist if you face problems while using. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
