I have been a long time reader of the archive, actually I think since just after it started. Anyways I have been playing with my castration and penectomy fantasies for many years. But I have recently experienced something that I would like input from others. I have for years used wide rubber bands as my toy of choice as they offer so much flexibility. I can wrap them around my balls, or around my cock, or around my whole package. Tightness can be adjusted as desired by the number of turns used. I have never had any problems until lately. I am 53 and although I do not have any major problems with erections, I do take Cialis as it makes them much more firmer. When I masturbate I often wrap a rubber band around my sack and then another around my whole package. Lately I have noticed that if I use rubber bands around my whole package, even for short periods of 15-30 minutes, the next day I notice my penis is swollen and there is a fair amount of fluid built up in the skin of my shaft. It is definitely edema. For 3-4 days afterwards the fluid will work its way out thru the skin (almost like sweat). I have to use powder several times a day to soak up the fluid, otherwise my underware is damp by the end of the day. The skin also gets very wrinkly and seems like it is detached from the underlying tissue. It also gets very sensitive and begins to itch. After a few days I notice the skin gets very dry and begins to peel. does anyone else experience this?

When I used to play like that ages ago, that never happened to me. Sounds like it is time to quit that particular hobby unless you want to go further?...
