A couple of weeks back my friend MissLis posted in Fet’s ClubFEM - NSW group seeking more information and “hands on” advice about ball stretchers. As part of that post MissLis mentioned she’d been looking around S(A)X’s website, and wondered:

“Does anyone have any comment on rubber, vs leather ball stretching devices, or any experience with these silicone ball stretchers, and a preference for either?”

I wrote back saying I didn’t have much experience with rubber ones but that “we are going to S(A)X this Thursday and we’ll have a look at some”.

We did just that. We also asked Steve Sax his advice. He gave us two examples that he liked: the Trough and the Cock sling, both made by OxBalls. Edward Lee wrote about the company in a one on one interview with Ox, it’s creative director / owner in September 2010:

“New product is highly anticipated and sells out within days, if not hours. Is it the latest Droid, iPhone, Mac notebook, the latest Xbox game? With names like Anallock, Pisser and Cock Sling we don’t think so.

“OxBalls is the leader in adult toys and enhancers for men. The cutting edge designs from OxBalls have turned the adult toy market on its ear. Never complacent, OxBalls is always coming up with something new and totally original”

I have to agree. OxBalls sells really interesting stuff, and you can also get some of their toys online at S(A)X. Their products are brilliant looking … and I mean that quite literally LOL. The first thing I noted was the colors of the products, and obviously this struck Edward Lee too. Here’s Ox’s great response to a question about colors:

“I love black …. leather is black, my soul is black, my sexuality is blacker than black … but I try to key my product to fetishes. Fluorescent orange dildos are for Carhartt wearing trucker-fuckers. The designs in piss yellow are for piss-pigs, red is a great color for dildos—looks so hot stretching open a pink tight hole. Police blue for cop-fuckers and uniform boys. I make cock and ball toys and pisshole stuffers in glow in the dark silicone, great for dark dungeons and deep dark holes. And yeah, I make a few realistic dildos in brown. Guess who they are for…”

*grin* When asked what might be produced in future, Ox replied:

“We have twisted nip-suckers in really cool shapes launching in a month, piss-hole stuffers, a lower price dildo line, a line of T-shirts, gags, hoods, a line of underwear and jocks. Name it, if you shove it up your ass, if it makes your cock hard, if you put it in any hole in your body, if it covers your junk, if you lube it up, OxBalls will make it, and make it better than anyone else.”

First sol and I looked at The Trough. We found this description of the product had some great ideas we wanted to try:

“The bad boys at Oxballs have a NEW take on the classic teardrop-shape cockring. It squeezes the base of your meat keeping you HARD … and it keeps your balls firmly in their sack. Made of FLEX-TPR, the same amazing stuff that the Cocksling is made of. As you slide it on, the fit is loose and flexible, but then, as you stroke and get BONED, the Trough gently grabs your meat and potatoes.

“Unlike cockrings that wrap around all your junk and push everything forward, Trough makes your dick stand up SEPARATE from your sack …. so your balls can flop and swing around while you stroke. And when you are fuckin’, Trough lets you get in DEEP while your nuts hang low and out of the way. Ox at Oxballs sez he likes to use it on boys that like having their balls slapped around while gettin’ milked…”

We’ve not fucked with it yet, but we’ll let you know how it goes. What we really did love straight away was the Cock sling, so this post in going to focus on that. Here’s the image from S(A)X’s product page:

The Cock sling is a cock ring and ball stretcher combined. According to S(A)X’s product page:

“The Ox Balls Cock Sling has a special recess to allow the passage of fluids whilst still giving that extra support … The cock sling is made from thermoplastic rubber, it is light weight, super stretchy and has an excellent tear strength

“WARNING: Do not use with Oil Based Lubes.”

Sol really liked the device the moment he put it on:

It’s amazingly stretchy.

At first we thought it was going to be a bit too big and loose to wear, but everything was fine. Other wearers have found the same thing - here’s Robert Anthony:

“I opened the packet and the first thing that struck me was how big it looked in my hand, I was actually a little concerned that it was going to be too big to do anything … my principal reason for buying the Oxballs Cocksling is that I’ve been trying to get a ballstretcher that will fit me for ages … Turns out the Cocksling wasn’t too big at all (phew!) and it was very comfortable to wear and made my cock pretty damn hard without the eventual discomfort you get from a narrow O-ring material type cockring…”

In sol’s case the device was not tight enough to assist / enhance an erection, but it would have if he’d had a slightly larger dick. However he was more than happy with the sensations it created. He immediately agree with Mr S’s site, which found:

Made from a highly specialized type of rubber, the Cock Sling is strong, flexible, yet still amazingly comfortable. We stretched these wide open & they bounced back every time - so add a little lube, pull them on and ride your boy - hard…

“Likely the most fun we’ve had wrapping a new toy around our dicks yet. The rubber is ultra-stretchy and hugs your cock perfectly. Add the slight tug on your nuts and you have a piece of gear you’ll want to wear 24/7.”

Perhaps not 24/7, though. Sweat does become an issue. Rubber doesn’t breathe, so unlike leather ball stretchers sweat is not absorbed. We discovered the effects of this during our first “test”, when I directed sol wear the device for 36 hours. At the end he had a few sweat bumps and small abrasions that required a tab of Savlon, but that didn’t really effect our enthusiasm for the device.

For our second “test” I directed sol to wear the device overnight and then instructed him to masturbate, so we could see how the Cock sling felt “in action”.

I must say I really like the way the Cock sling presents the balls:

Access is excellent, and even better from a BDSM play point of view, they can’t escape your ministrations … the design of the Cock sling stops the balls retreating into the body.

Here I am gently scratching beautifully exposed sol’s balls with my finger nails as he strokes during “test 2″:

Lube was required because the Cock sling grips the base of the cock and there’s not as much skin to slide up and down, it’s all down in the balls. I directed sol to add lube (but not oil based):

And put more effort into his strokes. He said later that when he was masturbating the Cock sling made him feel like a hand was gripping his balls. I know what he means by that, but there was one point where I was doing exactly what he described…

Again due to their great presentation, it’s just soooo tempting to pull and stretch the balls with your hands, as I am doing to sol here … that’s my hand at the top, grasping his balls … note the whitened skin of his lower belly caused by the stretch:

I just couldn’t resist a few more finger nail scratches:


I finished with some open palm slaps, first with one hand:

And then both (how the hell do you expect me to provide a photo of that???? … both hands were occupied!). While indulging in this bit of CBT with the device in place, I thought about the fact that one of the major concerns about CB bondage and impact play is that there is usually no “give” in the restraints, which increases the risk of bruising and more serious injuries. The extremely stretchy Cock sling alleviates this concern.

At this positive thought I decided to give sol permission to come:

Sol said later that his orgasm “felt a bit cut off” … it “wasn’t as powerful as expected but on the other had it was more sustained”. As if the intensity plateaued. We agreed more “Cock sling / coming” research definitely needed to be undertaken … and having read this comment by Brian (”It grabs hold of your cock & balls and won’t let go … perfect for edging“) we agreed some “Cock sling / edging” research was also required

Our final conclusions about the Cock sling:

• feels “right” when you put it on, and is really comfortable to wear
• looks terrific when on
• seems it may fit men who’ve had trouble getting other ball stretchers to fit
• great for rubber fetishists
• some people might react to the rubber (see this post: “recently bought an oxballs cock sling – a cock ring and ball stretcher in one. Its a lot of fun to wear, but I can’t seem to have it on for too long… kind of makes the back side of my balls sting and burn.”)
• light weight
• amazingly stretchy (can increase to more than double its size) so is not only easy to get on, it alleviates concerns re CBT bondage / impact play restraints having no “give”, thus upping the risk of bruising and more serious injuries
• presents the balls beautifully for CBT
• balls can’t escape into the body
• the design’s special recess to allow passage of fluids works well
• can’t absorb sweat like leather, so if you want to wear it for longer periods keep an eye out for sweat build up / heat bumps etc
• do not use with oil based lubes

We are definitely OxBalls Cock sling fans, and recommend you consider adding it to your toy box … have fun!

ENGLISH COCK CAGE

First to be put on was this old favorite. It’s really a cock strap rather than a ball stretcher, but we thought we’d include it because we’ve had so much fun with it.

Sol’s been wearing versions of this type for over ten years. We bought this custom made version from Steve Sax (check out S(A)X’s website for a slightly different model: “A three snap cock strap with shaft ring 32mm & ball divider made in soft black nappa leather”)

This version consists of a leather strap that behind the cock and balls (which sol is wrapping into place in the photo on the left) with a metal ring around the cock and two leather straps, one above and one below, separating the balls. You can see it unworn at the far left of the photo at the top of this post.

Its comfortable enough to be worn under clothes for hours at a time, although you have to keep an eye out for pinching. Here’s a photo on the right of the final installation. Sol’s erect of course, due to the manipulation and the game itself, but that’s not a problem with this toy.

I love the look of this one. I like the way the balls are separated, but the look is not as extreme as … well, why don’t we show you?

BALL STRETCHER AND COCK RING

It differs from other designs in that the metal cock ring fits around both cock and (behind the) balls. This of course means it won’t come off when you are hard unlike the English cock cage which only has a metal ring around the cock. Sol can only wear this particular ball stretcher for relatively short periods of time. I tend to use it (and other ball stretcher styles) to up the intensity of other play, for example if I’ve strung sol up to whip or cane him, or if I’m going to use my S(A)X strap on harnesses In the photo you can see it fully installed - see the lovely strain on his balls? The hands in this pic are mine - I am inflicting some additional stress, lol!

BALL STRETCHER DIVIDER + COCK STRAP (40MM)

Now we are starting to get intense….Sol bought his first version of this style of ball stretcher in 1996/7. This one is also from S(A)X and is a ball stretcher, divider and cock strap combined.

It appears in the photo at the top of this post, second from the right. It’s all leather, with a strap that goes around the base of the family jewels, another that stretches the balls, then a final strap that separates the balls.

The amount of stretch in the leather provides intensity when you first install it. The separator strap then increases pressure on the balls, upping the overall intensity - sol describes it as “a little breathtaking initially”.

What I love about the D ring at the top is being able to attach weights, or tie a cord through it, or even as I’m doing here, put a finger through and gently and firmly pull up, or back, which puts enormous pressure (= intensity of sensation) on the balls and cock.

BALL STRETCHER DIVIDER (60MM)

Sol has a simple quote for this one: “ouch … ouch … ouch … gasp” lol…. you’ll find it on S(A)X’s website here. It’s available in four heights and has a 15mm wide adjustable strap that divides the testicles.
