<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Can someone educate me?? I’m almost afraid to ask…what is a ring, where does it go and what does it do?? For some reason, it doesn’t sound like a fun job… <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
A ring is exactly what it sounds like - a ring - and you get to put it around the penis. Since, once the penis is erect, it gets engorged through the blood vessels, if you have a ring around it, it cannot GET any bigger!
Think of a tight ring on a finger on a hot day - you cant get the sucker off!
The thought process is that every time the colts play with themselves, they loose strength / their edge - whatever - sort of like the football coaches asking their players to refrain from pre game sex because they believe the players will play better if they have all of this pent up energy rather than losing it the night before or the morning of 
I still think this is one of those stupid old wives tales, same as the stud managers that wont allow their breeding stallions to stand there and masturbate as they feel there is a limited supply of the stuff in there???
Clear now?!
