    A guy came into the ER with a teacup up his ass.

    The doctor asked how it happened.

    The doctor said, in the writing where I was reading about this whole event: “What followed was a long and startling story that I immediately regretted asking for.”

      yeah right, he was probably cleaning the kitchen, slipped and fell on it, just like everyone else.

        That’s pretty much exactly what he said, he just took a long time to say it, which was what led to the deep, deep regret on the part of the doctor. He was dusting up on a ladder, drinking tea, totally naked, and then he fell, and oh no look what has happened now.

          There’s a montage from Scrubs where a bunch of people claim “I fell on it” that ends in the last guy shrugging and saying, “I was bored.”

          I respect the fuck out of the last guy.

            I really don’t get it. The only answer that question needs is just look the doctor in the eye and ask, “do I really need to explain?”

            I don’t know for sure, but I feel like the overwhelming majority of doctors would just nod and say “got it,” and then get on with their work.

    Just cut off the penis, remove the ring and then reattach the penis. Do I have to do everyone’s job around here?

    I saw this and was very confused. I was thinking, “well mine just has two balls that unscrew from either end and pull it out” then I realized they’re talking about a different ring for a cock

    I’m call BS. Titanium isn’t really very strong (about the same as copper when pure, while specialist Ti alloys are about halfway between aluminium and generic steel). People use titanium when they want something metal which is pretty strong but very lightweight. As an aside, it has pretty meh ductility for a metal and would make a poor bulletproof material, so David Guetta got that wrong too

    It appears the market has spoken, thus you must clearly upgrade your ring cutting equipment.

    That is, unless the poor sap acquired the titanium ring from Boeing or Airbus’ supplier. Then maybe you can use kindergarten stubby scissors.

      Hospitals will generally have ring cutters like this:

      Picture of a pizza-cutter like implement with an arm underneath the serrated cutting wheel.

      They are hand powered and very cost effective for gold and silver rings. Diamond tipped cutters usually need something like a Dremel to power them. They look something like this:

      Picture of a ring cutter similar to the one above but it has an electric screwdriver like attachment to power the wheel..

      They are much more expensive compared to hand powered ones, and pose a higher risk to a patient so they would require additional training to use it, which is another extra cost.

        Also, ummm, titanium gets hot. Like all metal gets hot when you cut it, that’s just how friction works.

        But titanium is gummy.

        When we cut steel it makes a nice clean chip until the tool is dull, then it’ll make ugly chips.

        When we cut aluminum or copper, we have to use tools with fewer teeth so they don’t get clogged up with chips. This is fine because these materials are so soft and we can run cutting speeds so high that having fewer teeth isn’t a big deal.

        But titanium is both gummy, in that it wants lots of space between cuts because it’ll clog up teeth, and very hard, in that it wants lots of teeth making smaller cuts.

        It’s also a shit conductor. Aluminum and copper will whisk away heat. Titanium gets hot and stays that way.

        So your titanium jewelry, wherever applied, that needs to be cut off of you, will need a diamond saw, which isn’t really a cutting tool, it’s an abrasive one. Meaning it works through aggressive, point blank friction.

        My point is if you smash your titanium cock ring on, it’s going to not only require a very uncomfortable proximity to a power tool to remove it, it’s going to absolutely burn the fuck out of your dick.

          Thank you for the details! I find the different properties of metals fascinating but rarely have the time to read up on it (which isn’t made easier by having to first read up on and understand a bunch of terminology and underlying concepts, which my ADHD just doesn’t have the patience for), so comments like yours giving a bit of insight are perfect.

        Just want to add that we’re talking about a tool that can be used to remove rings stuck on any appendage, not just cocks.

    I’ve worked or volunteered for 4 different fire departments. Zero of them had any sort of diamond cutter anything that could be used for this.

    Every ring I’ve ever owned that was made out of titanium has shattered. Seems like you could just crack it with a pair of pliers or something.

        That must be the case but at the same time it makes me wonder why titanium rings aren’t made with the shatter resistant alloy, or why it’s expensive to get a titanium wedding band that shatters easily but apparently titanium cock rings are common and affordable enough that there’s an ER PSB out on it.

          Titanium camping cutlery definetly doesn’t shatter, it bends like steel. But it does scratch easily so maybe your rings used a harder alloy to prevent scratches

      Also, the ER probably wouldn’t need to resort to cutting a cock ring in the first place. It has no bones, just get some ice packs on it or worst case scenario do a controlled bleed on the distal portion.
