Markus I agree with everything Pete says but for me a part of the sensation that takes so long to complete is I get a sensation that the body is trying to ejaculate something. But this only adds to...
Kat There are all sorts of rings available at the local "toy" store. Good luck. I call it expandable, its like a string of pearls on a stretchable cord all encassed in a strechable rubber type...
Akumel I think you will find most guys replying in the positive. For myself the feeling at ejaculation is more intense than prior to surgery. He will know when he is done. Also the advantage is no...
