This project is a part-relay, part-art project and relies on the contribution of Odyssey participants. You will be asked to produce all manners of artistic expression. To help fulfil the spirit of The Male Odyssey and allow others the opportunity to get involved, I have written some essential guidelines below.
Given the international nature of this project, there are two options to receive the Odyssey ring.
The ring is delivered by postal service to you. You permit your address and contact info to be shared with the preceding Odyssey participant who will post the item directly to you. Your info will be collected by Wild Rings, who will share details of your address with the preceding participant in the relay when they are ready to send the ring.
You can choose not to provide your address. If there are enough participants in your country/region, Wild Rings will set up a private Telegram group. Participants may coordinate a transfer in person.
You will be asked to complete a Google Form to inform Wild Rings of your level of participation in the project.
You agree to keep the Odyssey ring for 1 week max. If you’re planning activities with a group, a 2-week window will apply.
The Odyssey Ring is part silver and part rubber. You will be given alternative rubber lengths to swap out should it not fit your participating member.
Complete one of the essential self-portrait photographs below.
Self-Portrait (Essential)
Take a colour photograph wearing the Odyssey ring with any of the following options;
a) Nude torso photo and cock close-up, or;
b) Full nude with face and cock close-up.
Self-portrait nudes can be in any style. You may wish to view Creative Portraitures's Twitter account for inspiration.
Artistic Odysseys (optional)
Wilderness - A photograph overlooking the outdoors with the ring (hard/soft)
Paint your reality - Creative imagery of the Odyssey worn, perhaps inspired by the barriers that you have overcome in life. Whether you are interested in a self-portrait sketch with the Odyssey, arranging a life drawing in your local area or would like to include manifestations of an erotic or sexual nature, all are accepted.
Rituals of Xenia - In keeping with offerings made to Telemachus during his voyage, as participants you may also share a personal memento with the view that there is no expectation of reciprocation. This could include a written secret or note, a small gift or something personal.
The essential stuff
Consent and privacy
This project will ensure complete anonymity of ring bearers if requested. Data shared to Wildrings via the Google Form will indicate how your data will be used. Any imagery shared with Wild Rings of your likeness is at your discretion.
Financial
By participating in the project, you may be required to deliver the contents of the cock ring & packaging to the next person in the relay. You agree to cover any national/international delivery charges by recorded delivery. Customs charges: Due to the international nature of this project, there may be the possibility that customs charges are added. Wild Rings agrees to cover international customs charges upon verification of a digital receipt.
