Does anyone else switch from a longer cage to a shorter one and notice an improvement in that painful, ripping sensation on the scrotum during nighttime erections? My current cage is just a bit longer than my flaccid length. Every few days I need to take it off because the night ereasions are too intense and hurt the skin of my balls. I’ve tried every lube before bed so lubrication isn’t the problem. Silicone works best for me, but the constant tugging over many nights is exhausting. I usually get 3-4 erections each night. Would switching to a shorter cage really help that much? Most of my erection stays inside right now, so I assume it will still pull on my scrotum either way. Just curious because if going shorter makes such a big difference, I’ll look into buying a smaller cage. I just hate wasting money on gear that doesn’t work.
