Gold Champ is my second, and definitely not my last, King Rings member ring. My first was a 50mm Father of Pearl and it exceeded my expectations in terms of design, craftsmanship, and function. It also exposed an interesting fit issue. While the fit was as expected when I was warm and quite tight when erect, the fit was loose when I was cool and flaccid. Loose enough to slip off more than once, including once in public, when I left the warmth of my vehicle for the cool outdoors. Physical work exacerbated the slipping when I was cool. When I was warm, the ring stayed in position. I attributed the issue to the mass of the ring, something that the sizing rings cannot duplicate. Since my goal was (and is) “all day” wear, a smaller ring was the answer. Oh, woe is me. I have to buy another King Ring.
So I went back to the sizing rings. I learned that the 48mm size was, for me, a “one finger” fit with the sizing rings. Just like the 50mm was a “two finger” fit with the sizing rings. So I extrapolated that a 48mm heavy ring would be a good fit for everyday wear. So I decided to order one. The question was, “Which one?”.
That was not an easy question to answer. While the Father of Pearl “spoke” to me for my first purchase, I was torn by the sheer variety of choices for the next. The easy ones to eliminate were those not made of tungsten carbide. I wanted mass. The next decisions were not easy; each version had something unique to recommend it. There were no bad choices. I finally decided to eliminate the choices that had inlays as they were too similar to what I had plus I wanted more weight. I then eliminated the ones that were primarily silver in color so the next one would look quite different from the “achromic” Father of Pearl. The one that fit the bill was the Gold Champ.
I placed the order on a Sunday evening. The ring shipped that Monday and was in my hands and on my member on Wednesday. Talk about fast order fulfillment and excellent packaging. Other than coming off each evening for cleaning, the ring has been worn all day and most nights since arrival. That has been a week as of this writing. A week without slipping. It has been more than I expected in terms of both visuals and heft. It looks better in person than pictures can convey. Truly formidable when in hand and on the member. The weight is divine. The ring is finished to perfection. It is quite comfortable.
One thing I should note is the smaller size, while perfect for all day wear, is a bit too tight for extended amorous activities with my wife. No discomfort during or after (the opposite was true), but some small signs of bruising afterwards. So the 50mm rings are for fun while the 48mm rings are for all-day usage. That recipe seems to work for us. What that means is I need to purchase more in both sizes. My wife has already decided the next one should be the Celtic Band.
That is a bit long winded. Summary: Gold Champ is very heavy and very cool, and I intend to keep purchasing and enjoying King Rings.
