BF has been dating a new guy for a few weeks. Everything seems to be going swimmingly well and they’re apparently getting on like a house on fire. She has not slept with him yet, but during a slightly tipsy conversation it somehow came up that he has a metal ring which fits around his scrotum and base of the penis, which he said was for ‘decoration’ but also helps to maintain an erection for longer. This did not entirely surprise or shock me as he seems a bit of a hippy type with a man-bun, lots of tattoos and those earrings that stretch your earlobes into big holes. I said I thought the ring seemed a bit weird though and potentially a red flag. BF said she feels quite turned on by the idea of something a bit different, and in any case if she didn’t like it he could easily take it off as it’s not actually a piercing.
