Cock Rings

Want to know more about cock rings? Here are the answers.

A cock ring is most often used to make an erect penis harder and bigger, to keep it that way for a longer amount of time, and to delay and heighten orgasm. Cock rings work by constricting blood flow, keeping blood in the shaft of the penis. When a wearer finally does ejaculate, the sensation is more intense, since it took a longer time to come, and because the penis is filled with additional blood.

Many women feel that a cock ring enhances the appearance of the penis, some men like the feel of having their cock and balls encircled by a cock ring. The right cock ring can feel as though someone is holding you in an intimate grip. Many men feel that their orgasms are more intense when wearing a metal cock ring or leather cock strap.

How to wear a cock ring?

You may find it easiest to put on a cock ring before your penis is erect, but you'll want to experiment to find what works best for you. Cock rings fit over the shaft and the testicles/scrotum when a man is not erect. Ball by ball, the testicles go through, then the penis shaft dives in head first through the remaining ring space. The ideal cock ring stays in place when the penis is soft, yet it can fairly easily slip off or unsnap when the penis is hard. Lube can be added to make putting rings on and taking them off a little easier — something that works for finger and toe rings, too. You should remove the ring as soon as it becomes uncomfortable – and never wear one for longer than 20 minutes. Beginners should play around with different durations, just to make sure they don't hurt themselves.

Cock rings come in all sizes and materials. Here are a few of the most popular:

Single Strap and Multiple Strap Cock Rings

When there are multiple rings, the smaller rings are placed at the base of the shaft embracing your penis. The large ring is placed behind the scrotum and fastened over the top of penis. Sometimes these are made of stretchy rubber and others have an adjustable leather strap.

Solid Cock Rings

Made of sturdy plastic or metal, these solid cock rings can be dangerous if you aren't experienced. Be careful. Insert your flaccid penis through the ring then tuck your testicles, one at a time, through the hoop. Solid rings don't have any snaps or buckles, so the only way you're going to get them off is by losing your erection, either through removal of stimulus or ejaculation.

Vibrating Cock Rings

This type of cock ring is designed to stimulate both partners by vibrating during intercourse. Usually a single-strap cock ring made of a firmer jelly material, the ring slides onto the penis and then usually has an attachment for a vibrating bullet. The bullet can be worn on the top of the penis to stimulate the woman’s clitoris or put below the penis to stimulate the testicles. All you have to decide is who gets the extra vibrations!

What size Cock Ring?

To get the right fit, a cock ring should be loose enough to get on and off easily, but a bit snug to get your cock hard once the blood starts pumping.

To calculate the minimum size of cock ring, cut a thin strip of paper or ribbon. Start from the top side of your cock at the base (where it meets your body). Wrap the paper under your balls, bringing it around to the starting point. Mark the paper where it meets.

Measure that length, and then divide by three. That is the diameter required.

Use Cock Rings safely

For safety and pleasure, a cock ring needs to increase the size of the erection only slightly. If you notice more pronounced swelling, then the fit is too tight. In that case, take the cock ring off immediately. It's also vital for men to take off their cock ring at the first sign of pain or if the genitals feel cold. In addition, it's dangerous to leave a ring on for too long, including wearing one to sleep when spontaneous erections are all the rage. An erection of several hours can cause blood coagulation in the penis, making it difficult to lose the erection. This is called priapism, a prolonged erection. Since new blood cannot enter the penis, this can be severely painful and cause permanent damage to the erectile tissue.

Do not use cock rings if you bleed easily or have a blood clotting disorder, if you are diabetic, or if you suffer from any vascular or nerve disorder. Do not use these toys if you are taking aspirin or any other blood-thinning medication. If you experience discomfort or any unusual body changes - including bruising, pain, bleeding or loss of sensation - remove the ring and see your doctor. Do not place over sore, swollen, or infected areas or areas without sensation.
