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.
Fascinating! However, the fire department (or whoever is your local IDR unit) will almost certainly run coolant while cutting a ring off of anyone.
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.
Gold cock ring it is!
It even deforms into a more comfortable shape and doesn't react with any liquids.
