After months of not being able to play with my sounds, I decided to venture into an unknown realm. I removed the ring and verified that I could reinsert it easily a few times. Then, feeling confident, I proceeded to abuse myself in a very delightful manner for about an hour and a half. Afterward, I decided I'd put the ring back in prior to cleanup, mostly to take advantage of the lubrication.
Disaster! Whether trying to reinsert the ring from to or bottom it just wouldn't thread back through, even with some moderate force. My emotions flash from despondent to angry to anguish. How could I have done such a thing??
I tend to push a bit with the sounds (stretching), so my only hope is that there is some inflammation/irritation and that's what's causing the issue. As that subsides, the thinking would be that I might be able to reinsert the ring at that point.
I IM'ed the friend who did the piercing -- knowing that they were fast asleep but would see it eventually --in a panic. They replied this morning saying that these never close but might shrink a little..."want to try stretching to 8ga?" Little devil. :) Yes, I do! But first I need to get over this trauma, and know my poor little fella is doing OK.
Oh, and just for the record... That's as close as you will *ever* hear me get to personifying my cock. :D
