What you need to know about using a penis ring, also known as a cock ring.
If you’ve never used a cock ring, or don’t even know what or why cock rings are used for, then buckle up because you’re going to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about cock rings but were afraid to ask!
What Is A Cock Ring?
Unlike some sex toys with exciting names tied to them, a cock ring is exactly what it sounds like; A ring that wraps around a penis to squeeze the shaft, or the balls, or both the shaft and the penis at the same time. Now the next question that might be swirling around in your head is, “why the hell would anyone want this?”
What Exactly Does A Cock Ring Do?
Simply put, cock rings make sex possible for several reasons; each one differs from the other!
Reason #1: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Cock rings can help men who suffer from ED (erectile dysfunction) maintain a boner once again. One function of a cock ring is the slowing of the blood flow back from the erect penis, allowing it to stay hard longer….a partial boner is needed, though, and just placing a cock ring on a limp penis is not going to transform it into a solid erection. Some men use penis pumps to help build their erection before placing a cock ring in it.
Reason #2: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Harder Erections
Even if you don’t suffer from ED (erectile dysfunction), cock rings can give you a harder, thicker, and BIGGER boner that can last for an extremely long time.
Reason #3: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Intense Sensations
Wearing a cock ring makes every sensation much more intense, making masturbation, oral sex, and intercourse more pleasurable.
Reason #4: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Give Your Girl Some Stimulation
A cock ring can pleasure the clitoris just as much as it can be pleasurable for the penis. Vibrating cock rings are great for clitoral stimulation!
Reason #5: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Hand Jobs & BJs Just Got Better
Using cock rings while getting/giving a handy or blowy makes the experience better than ever before.
I suggest giving/getting handy with a vibrating cock ring while mixing it up with a flexible cock ring for the blow job.
Reason #6: Why Men Use Cock Rings: Something for the Booty
If you’re into “anal play,” then use a cock ring to take it to a whole other level of fun and pleasure. Be sure to use lots of lube if you’ll be engaging in any anal play while wearing a cock ring.
How to Use a Cock Ring
Now that you know “why” cock rings are used if you’re intrigued and wondering how to actually use a cock ring, here are a few tips to help you out.
1 – Begin with a Stretchy Cock Ring!
Flexible cock rings are made of stretchy materials, like silicone, and are easy to remove, making them great for beginners. Once you become more advanced with the ways of the cock ring, then you can start playing around with the metal ones, but let’s master the flexible cock rings first to avoid any complications.
2 – Don’t Put A Ring On A Boner!
Only place a cock ring on a flaccid or semi-erect penis because placing a cock ring over the penis head and sliding it down the shaft will typically be easier if the wiener is flaccid or semi-erect.
3 – Lube That Cock!
Spread a few drops of lube around the inner part of the penis before slipping on a cock ring. This will allow the cock ring to slide down a penis more easily. Also, use lube when you’re ready to remove the cock ring to ensure any easy slip-off.
4 – Remove Cock Rings After 20 Minutes!
Never leave a cock ring on for longer than 20 minutes because blood flow restriction is usually safe in short bursts, and 20 minutes seems to be the universal recommendation.
5 – Condoms & Cock Rings!
If you’re wearing a condom with a penis ring, put the ring on first, then place the condom on second once the penis is fully erect.
A Week’s Worth of Cock Rings!
Just as there are 7 days in a week, there are basically 7 different types of cock rings, each one providing something a little different for you to choose from Vibrating cock rings, Basic cock rings, Adjustable cock rings, Double cock rings, Anal cock rings, Metal cock rings, and Stimulating cock rings!
Basic Cock Rings!
Basic cock rings are what you think about when you imagine what a cock ring is. They’re simplistic in nature, just having one ring which grips onto the shaft of the penis. The only thing you can really change with this kind of cock ring is where it sits on your penis.
Cock Rings That Vibrate!
The main function of a vibrating cock ring is to stimulate both the penis and the woman’s clitoris simultaneously. Some vibrating cock rings are disposable, and others come with a rechargeable battery. Still, regardless of anything, vibrating cock rings are the best cock rings to use if the goal is to provide intense pleasure for both the man and the woman at the same time.
Cock Rings Made Out of Steel!
The most durable cock rings are the ones that are made out of steel, and are completely inflexible, and can only be placed on the penis when it’s still limp or flaccid, so if you try placing this on an erect penis, you’ll find out soon enough that it’s an impossible challenge. Because of this, you’ll need to know what size your penis is so you make sure to get the correct size steel cock ring; if you get too small of a steel cock ring, then you could be in for a harrowing experience, so make sure you get the right fit for the shaft you’re working with to ensure a fun and sexy experience.
Cock Rings That Are Flexible!
Flexible cock rings have a lot more give to them than steel cock rings do. The majority of flexible cock rings are made of a jelly type of material, while others are molded from a soft silicone material. Flexible cock rings are the simplest of cock rings, where you just put on your penis, soft or erect, and then can start using.
Cock Rings That Are Not PETA Approved!
Just like designer jackets, some cock rings are made out of leather! Leather cock rings are adjustable, which means that they have a little more give than a steel cock ring, but not as much as a flexible cock ring. This is great if some days you need a little more help than other days so that you can go for a slightly tighter setting. Leather cock rings require a little more care than any other style of cock ring because leather can absorb sweat, and all of those other bodily fluids released during sexual activities, so it’s imperative that these are cleaned after being used.
Solid Cock Rings!
Because they have very little give when you wear them, solid cock rings are very similar to steel cock rings; they work just as similar and can be made of hard plastics, hard rubbers, metal, or even glass. Solid cock rings will be more likely to break than types of cock rings, so these must be cleaned and stored correctly if you want them to have a long lifespan.
Lassos Aren’t Exactly Cock Rings, But Kinda Are!
If you’ve never used a cock ring, you may want to start with a lasso cock ring because they are similar to cock rings but much more adjustable, allowing you to experiment to find the tightness you prefer.
Cock Ring Safety Tips!
Cock rings are safe, fun, and add to the overall sexual experience, but make sure to follow our safety advice below so that all of your cock ring experiences are always pleasurable:
1 – Don’t wear a cock ring for more than 20 minutes at a time.
2 – Use a LITTLE bit of lube to make the ring easier to get on and off, and be sure to use LOTS of lube if you’ll be engaging in any anal play.
3 – Don’t wear a cock ring if you have a bleeding disorder or a blood condition.
4 – Make sure you use the right size cock rings to ensure that you’re not cutting off the circulation of blood to your penis.
5 – Ensure that you’re not allergic to any types of materials that cock rings are made of.
6 – Treat cock rings like forks, teacups, and plates, and wash them after every use.
