I’ve been sporting the CB6000 (woody version) nearly every day since I received it two weeks back. Wearing it during the day is no trouble, but the pain at night usually becomes unbearable. I keep a small bag of ice by my bed for when those 2 AM wake-ups hit. Sometimes the ice helps me get through it; other nights, I toss and turn until I have to walk around until things settle down. My wife often suggests I take it off so we can both catch some sleep.
On the bright side, she seems fully on board with her new role now. She gets worried when I’m in pain at night, but has moved past the “this is a bit too strange” stage and into the “let’s double-check that lock before you head down to your office” phase. Another benefit is my work productivity. Unless I’m meeting clients, I spend my days alone in front of a computer in my basement office. Sure, distractions still happen, but whenever they go wrong, a sharp pinch or burn reminds me to get back to coding.
I’ve gone through all the tips and tricks threads; thumper’s overview of the CB6000 was especially useful. My question for the group is: how long until I can wear this thing through the entire night? Could these nighttime erection/ball-crushing sessions be causing me damage? When I finally make it through the night, will it be because my scrotum has stretched, I’ve grown accustomed to the pain, or has my brain been conditioned to prevent fierce erections during sleep?
Thanks-
