IDEA: Inexpensive Ball Stretcher
Doug Scibor
On a whim while in Lowe's (home improvement store) this week, I picked
up three anchor shackles. You would normally use these at the end of
a rope when you transition to chain for an anchor for small boats. I
grabbed three of the largest size shackles and took them home.
They are stainless steel, fairly inexpensive at $7 each and have a
good bit of weight to them but not so much as to make it uncomforable.
I threaded two high on my scrotal sack and they sit quite nicely on
top of my balls pushing them to the bottom. The fit is perfect and I
can actually sit down and walk while wearing it.
For security, you can run a small lock between two of the shackles
"end pins" which have pre-drilled holes just waiting for a lock. Once
a lock was threaded through there, it would be quite impossible to
remove without a cutting torch.
Lowe's part #37651
You can find them above (or near) the section for chain and rope where
they cut custom lengths. They have a "U" shape with a pin that screws
the open end of the shape closed.
Imagination and the hardware store is becoming my new kink.

I've been looking for experiences with these. Thank you!!!
That is really clever using a lock with TWO of them. VBG!! I've been
playing with one and noticed that you can put a tiny screwdriver
through that lock hole. Then by holding the shackle firmly with your
hand, you can twist the screwdriver and get the pin really really
tight. That will keep him at the mercy of having tools within reach.
Did you notice what size they were, before you threw away the
packaging? I want to do it as a surprise with him, and I want the
right size the first time. VBG!!!

There is no packaging but it was the largest shackle they had on the
shelf. The receipt lists it as:
SS 3/8" Anchor Shackle
It measures about 2 inches at the widest part of the shackle from
outside edge to outside edge. There is roughly 1.5 inches across (and
2 inches length) on the inside to capture the sack. For me this works
perfectly with two shackles.
It is a royal pain to thread the little Master lock through both eyes
since it is about 2mm too short. I'm experimenting with other ideas
on how to secure it but I would be a little leary of "dogging down"
the screw on the pin. It seems to me that if you were to get that
stuck, you could end of up VERY sore from the leverage one might have
to use to free it again. The lock offers a much safer and reversable
alternative.
It occurs to me that using two locks that thread through each shackle
and then inter-link with one another might solve the length issue.
Hmm. I'll have to give that a shot. Running a small chain back
through the legs and to cuffs behind the back would make it even more
interesting.
One other note I'll make is that the appearance of stainless steel is
very becoming in this arrangement. Be sure to have a mirror handy for
him.
Good luck with your man and let us know how the "surprise" goes.

FYI...
I tried a slight larger lock but it still couldn't "make the turn" to
secure the two together. I used two smaller locks and that works
quite well. The only problem now is that the locks make it a little
bulky down there and it is much easier to get pinched with that metal
moving around. Not optimal for long-term but easy to do for the
bedroom or short-term.
If you wanted to wear them "out and about" it might be easier to
remove the locks. That way you don't have to have an emergency key
with you, either.
One other note is a very soft telltale 'clink' when I take a step. It
doesn't happen on each step, or even very often but they do make some
noise when things shift or you happen to get the proper stride.

Do you think a smaller one will work? I got one a while back that's
the same size as a padlock that someone said will work. It's about an
inch across on the inside. I want it snug around his scrotum so there
is no way out. If it is 1.5 inches across, can the testicles squeeze
through one at a time?
This needs to be right the first time. A lady's security will be at
stake, LOL!!

How long is one shackle wearable? An hour? A day? A week??? Would
it work well for stretching if he is tied in a spread position and and
the shackle is tied to the foot of the bed??? Paybacks come to mind,
VBG!!!

You'll have to judge this for yourself knowing how big his individual
testicles are if he might be able to squeeze them through an opening
that size one at a time. I might be able to do it but it would be
sheer agony for me. Think of how a cock ring goes on and how someone
might escape from the shackle the same way you would a ring. If the
balls will slip through individually, you'd have to go smaller. I
don't have the largest package in the world and mine are quite
practically escape-proof.
I could not fit all of the skin into something the size of a padlock.
I have successfully used a long version of the padlock called a
shackle lock (bought three at Lowes the other day as well). If I
managed to get everything inside a conventional padlock, I'd be
concerned about circulation for myself.
YMMV.

One shackle? For me, it could be years. I don't think a single
shackle would do much stretching since the balls normally hang just
about the size of a single shackle from the start. I started with one
this afternoon (still experimenting) and didn't really notice it. I
added a second which stretched things out but was still relatively
comfortable. I had some mild achy-ness (not pain, mind you) that felt
something akin to "blue balls" but changing positions or just moving
around quickly brought that to zero.
I had been wearing the two for about four hours when I finished up my
errands and felt like I could try going a step further. At the end of
four hours with two shackles, I added a third thinking it would be a
stretch (pardon the pun). It went on with surprising ease and I have
had it on for an additional four hours.
There is no real discomfort with three but the "clink" noise is much
more pronounced so I would be uncomfortable leaving the house. I
learned to offset the openings so that heavier pins wouldn't be on the
same side and pulling down unevenly. The achy-ness is somewhat harder
to escape when up-right but is much less when lying down. I guess the
total weight of everything bearing down on the balls begins to take
its toll. We're still not talking about pain but a keen ever-present
awareness of your testicles which is part of the reason for doing
this, eh?
So for me, I'd say the endurance for these would probably go like
this:
One shackle - weeks
Two shackles - a few days
three shackles - 6-8 hours
I would start very slowly and don't try to break any records at first
so you know where his tolerances are. I only bought three thinking
I'd have to work up to that many so I can't give you advice on four.
Adding an additional shackle to what I already have would become
almost cartoon-ish since walking would likely become problematic. I
get the occassional pinch from skin getting caught between, I would
think it would become progressively worse as you add layers to "grab"
you. My guess is that four would have to be under an hour but I don't
have that experience, yet.
The stretching comes about when the scrotum is denied the use of the
top half (or two thirds) since the shackle is pressing the balls down
to the bottom. It doesn't matter if you are standing, sitting or
laying down, it will stretch. Tying it to a bed post might be an
interesting twist particularly if you do it in such a way as to
ratchet it up to increase the pressure. All safeties taken, of
course.
Another thought I had that would be more devious is to get 2-3 on him
and apply an ice pack. When cooled, the scrotum would contract to
warm the testicles and mmmmmmm, that might be a little uncomfortable.
But then ice on your balls isn't entirely comfortable as it stands. I
doubt I'll get to try either the tie-off or the ice in bondage since
my wife puts up with me and don't eagerly participate in my broader
tastes. She would consider those "extreme" so I'll leave that to
someone else to report.
Since I'm reporting and I'm not about to go to sleep with all that
weight on my balls... I took off all three shackles after 8 hours
(four with two shackles and then added the third for another four
hours). No ill effects, no pain and no skin irritation. I really
enjoyed myself but next time I'm going to have to work in some good
old fashioned sex into the picture.

How well do those locks work?
I've got two hidden away for that right moment. One uses keys, and one
uses a combination. The combination means his release is cell phone
distance away - that is, if he is calling from a jewelry store, LOL!!!
Have you turned the keys over to your lady?

I have found the shackle locks to work quite well although there is
more room to escape and they are wider so it is an easier proposition.
It wasn't until this week before I had more than one so I'll update
you as I have time to experiment.
I'd like to try a conventional padlock on each ball but that may take
some more gear and it will likely prevent the average guy from
walking.

Ever the experimentalist ...
I picked up two of the anchor shackles Doug describes at Lowes. They
are definitely the best cock & ball toy for the money I've seen in ages.
Very heavy-duty, nice looking, and secure.
I tried Doug's idea of wearing two of them around the base of my balls,
and using two small padlocks interlocked with each other and running
through the ends of two closing bolts to secure them in place. Since I
have a frenum cock piercing, I also ran that ring through one of the
padlocks. The result is an incredibly secure bondage setup, which it
would be quite impossible to escape from without using the keys or a
bolt cutter.

My gf was able to lock one on me. She was careful to not pinch my ball
sac when locking it. She squeezed tight before the final click. It
was a regular size commerical lock with a flat top, not one of the
round combination locks. Once I got used to it I could, and had to, go
for days in it. I had to keep adjusting myself when sitting in pants.
Other than that it was no problem.

like a regular chain link, but has a threaded opening that is tightened
with a wrench.
They come in several sizes. I've been playing with one, and noticed
the opening is a little narrow. Can the scrotum pass through there
okay? But if it's a slow to get in and out of, maybe that adds to the
fun.
These look small enough that once in place they could stay there for a
long long time, providing a handy attachment point for more fun around
the house. Maybe the backyard, too. LOL!!

Some of the larger ones (hit a larger hardware store for the extra
goodness) will let you fit through a scrotum easily, so finding one that
is the "right fit" shouldn't be a problem.
