| Cock Rings Cock rings are sex toys that bind the penis and testicles and reduce the flow of blood out of the penis back into the body. Blood flows into the penis through blood vessels at the organ’s core and out through veins nearer to the skin’s surface. The restriction allows the blood to flow in, but not out—or at least not as quickly. Trapping blood in the penis can make for more engorgement and greater sensitivity, create a firmer erection, and, for some, delay ejaculation. Then again, since everybody is different, cock rings may have no significant effect on the size or longevity of an erection (in fact, they can make some guys come faster because of heightened sensation). So we don’t recommend them as a “fix” for erectile issues—but they sure can be fun! How to Use Cock Rings Penis straps or rings are intended to go around the base of the penis, behind the testicles (so testicles and penis are in front of the ring). Many styles with all sorts of bells and whistles are available—ones that separate the balls, cock rings that provide a consistent squeeze on the testicles, styles that allow you to hang weights off the testicles for varying degrees of pulling, and kits that lace up the whole penis. But the basics are the same although the sensations vary. The 10 Snap Leather Cock Ring and the Velcro Leather Cock Ring are highly adjustable and easy to remove. These cock rings can be put on at any time during an erection. Some guys find that their pubic hair can get stuck in the Velcro straps. A little pubic trimming will solve that. Secure the strap as snugly as is comfortable. Remember, it should not hurt. Non-adjustable rings, Aluminum Cock Rings, and Rubber Stretch Cock Rings: If you are using a ring that is not adjustable, it is easiest to put it on when your penis is flaccid. Hold the ring under your balls and insert your testicles one at a time. Now push the penis through. Hold it in place until your erection secures it. The only way it will come off is if you lose your erection after you come or by icing down your member if you can’t lose your woody. If you are sporting a metal ring and can’t reduce your erection any other way, the emergency room staff can cut it off with a metal cutter. In order to avoid such an experience, start off with the adjustable varieties. We don’t recommend the metal rings for cock ring neophytes. Fancy cock rings Metal Gates of Hell: Slip both penis and balls through the largest ring, and put the penis through the second largest ring and the balls down through the smallest. The combination makes for a unique look and delivers an intense stretching sensation. Not a cock ring for beginners. Three Piece Cock and Ball Divider: Great for men who like squeezing and pressure on their testicles or perineum. Can be worn with the teardrop pointed backwards to stimulate the perineum during masturbation or partner sex. Not a cock ring for beginners. Vibrating Cock Rings: Most are silicone rings with added bullets for stimulation. This stimulates both partners in different areas. Comes in many varieties and control styles. Good selection for beginners who want a little extra. Safety The penis does not stay hard throughout sex; erections naturally rise and fall during the course of sex. The reason for this is cellular health—blood flow is necessary to transport toxins away from the cells. Therefore, keeping your cock hard with a ring for hours puts you at risk of damaging your dick. We recommend giving your penis a breather after a maximum of 20 minutes. Spending too long with a cock ring on can damage the capillaries and bruise the penis, leaving you sore for a few days. In the worse case scenario, it could permanently affect the tissue. We think it’s wise, especially if you are first experimenting with cock rings, to remove it after five to 10 minutes to let your blood flow normally. If you are into sleeping in bondage and want to wear a cock ring all night, use an adjustable one and keep it loose. After you learn your unique response to a cock ring, then you can experiment with how long to keep it on and explore the non-adjustable variations. Cock rings are not recommended for anyone with vascular disease, such as diabetes, or nerve disease. If you experience discomfort, numbness, or tingling, take it off. Persistent discomfort may indicate a medical issue and should be referred to your physician. |
