However, these are extreme uses of testicle cuffs. More conventionally, the device pulls down the testicles and keeps them there during stimulation, which has a number of benefits:
Making the penis appear longer. Pulling the testicles down and away from the
base of the penis stretches the skin over the
base of the penis and pubic bone, exposing the additional inch or so of penile shaft that is normally hidden from view.
Improving sexual arousal. While some men
may be aroused by the feeling of being "
owned", the physical feeling of stretching the ligaments that suspend the testicles has an effect similar to the more common practice of stretching
one's legs and pointing the toes.
Preventing the testicles from lifting up so far that they become lodged under the
skin immediately adjacent to the
base of the penis, a condition which can be very uncomfortable, especially if the testicle is then squashed by the
slap of skin during thrusting in sexual intercourse.
Delaying or intensifying ejaculation by preventing the testicles from rising normally to the "point of no return". It is much harder to reach an
orgasm.
