Everything You Need to Know About Cock Rings

What are Cock Rings?

Cock rings were designed to specifically help increase a man’s erection and engorgement. To understand how a cock ring works, you first have to understand how a man gets an erection. When a man becomes aroused, the brain sends signals to blood vessels in and around the penis. The blood flowing into the penis greatly increases. As a man becomes more aroused in sexual pleasure, the tissue in the penis will become more engorged, thus creating an erection.

The main function of the cock ring is to essentially “pinch off” the blood flowing back out of the penis. It helps keep the man engorged longer, thus creating a more intense sexual experience.

Features of the Cock Ring

There are many different types of cock rings; however there are two base styles that all are derived from. The first style goes around the base of the penis, resting on the underside of the penis between the shaft and the scrotum. The second style has the cock ring resting behind the scrotum, between the scrotum and perineum (area between scrotum and anus).

Cock rings come in many different materials. If you are looking for something more elastic and flexible, you want to stick with rubber, latex, or silicone. These materials are the most common among cock rings and also the safest to use for both beginners and experienced users. Some cock rings are made of metal or hard plastic/rubber. These can be more tricky to use since the penis tissue could potential swell around the ring. Without the added elasticity, you could get yourself into a tight situation. No pun intended.

Additionally, some cock rings are designed to vibrate. These can add more intensity to your sexual experience. Not only will you increase the size and sensation of your penis, but the vibrations can also pleasure both you and your partner. There are various vibration modes and pulse levels to choose from depending on the specific cock ring.

Last, cock rings can come in many different colors. They are typically made to be water or splash proof since they are coming in direct contact with bodily fluids.

How to Use the Cock Ring for Self Pleasure

Cock rings can bring added pleasure to masturbation. Start by stretching the ring over the head of the penis. Slide the cock ring down the shaft and into place. Once you have the cock ring in place, take a few moments to see how it feels and to make sure the pressure applied is not painful. If the ring is pulling on stray pubic hairs or feels uncomfortable, try adding some water based lubricant to the penis and cock ring. The slippery wetness should make things feel more comfortable. Also, the cock ring should never be kept on for more than 20 minutes. Wearing it for prolonged periods of time can actually constict blood vessles and damage the penile tissue. If you are a beginnger, we suggest starting with 10 minutes.

Once things are feeling good, you can go to town. Self pleasure yourself and feel the intensity rise as the cock ring creates a hard erection.

How to Use the Cock Ring With Your Partner

Cock rings are meant to enhance the sexual experience between you and your partner. Whether it is creating a harder erection, intensifying the man’s arousal, or adding vibrations to stimulate the women’s clit during intercourse…the possibilities with the cock ring are endless. Experiment and see what feels good for both participants. Some cock rings include a vibrating bullet on the top of the ring. This vibration can arouse a women during intercourse.

How to Use Cock Rings with Lubricants, Stimulants, or Enhancements

We always recommend using lubricant when wearing a cock ring. Specifically, water based lubricants are ideal because they will not damage the ring. For beginners, the lubrication can help make the process of positioning the ring much easier. It will allow the ring to slide on and off, as well as add a soft slippery wetness. The last thing you want to deal with is the cock ring pulling on any stray pubic hairs. Trust us, use some lube!

Selecting the Best Cock Ring

Choosing a cock ring can be overwhelming due the many different options. We reccomend first deciding whether you want a cock ring that is vibrating or non-vibrating. This decision alone can help narrow down your choices. Once you have made that decision, you can go for the look and feel you desire. Let us help break down some of the options.
