Cock rings (also commonly referred to as C-rings, penis rings, erection rings or tension rings) are rings worn at the base of the penis during sexual play as a way to enhance sensations. This is accomplished by restricting the blood flow to certain areas of the body, mainly the penis. Cock rings are some of the most readily accessible and beginner friendly sex toys and are made from stretchy materials including rubber, silicone, metal and plastic. Many men buy cock rings for their partners, but you can also buy them for yourself. In this blog post, we'll explore the basics of cock rings and provide some tips for choosing the right one for you.
What is a cock ring and how does it work?
A cock ring is a ring shaped type of sex toy that is worn on the penis to increase sexual pleasure, to increase stamina during sex, to improve sexual sensations, and to help delay ejaculation. Cock rings are also a great way to pleasure yourself and add extra excitement and pleasure to your sex life.
Cock rings are worn for both medical and sexual reasons. Medically, cock rings are worn for erectile dysfunction, a condition that affects an estimated 30% of all men. Cock rings are worn to help control a man's erections, making it easier for him to maintain an erection. Sexually, cock rings are worn for sexual performance enhancement, allowing a man to temporarily increase the size of his erection. They can be worn and removed easily, and they provide a variety of sensations and vibrations that can be enjoyed by the wearer and/or their partner.
How do cock rings work? Well erections are a result of messages from the brain causing the blood vessels in the penis to relax and let blood freely flow in. As the blood flows into the penis, the penis becomes more full of blood or erect. Once worn, cock rings allow the wearer to maintain erections for longer by restricting the flow out of the penis. This restriction is done by the cock ring applying pressure on the penis and surrounding areas. This traps blood in the penis for longer thus maintaining resulting in a firmer erection.
How to use a cock ring
When you're looking to add some extra spice to your sex life, a cock ring can be a fun way to do so. But how do you use a cock ring once you’ve bought it. Luckily for beginners like us, cock rings are the simplest sex toys to use. As a beginner, you want to remember the golden old rule to cock rings - “Soft, simple and stretchy”. In other words, make sure the cock ring you choose is simple and easy to use, made from a soft material like silicone or rubber and lastly make sure its stretchy enough so that you always get the perfect fit. Once you’ve got the best cock ring for you, then its all left to sliding it onto the base of the penis and opening the pleasure gates.
When you're using a cock ring, these are some tips for you to have the most pleasurable experience:
- Make sure that the ring is the correct size for your penis. If it's too tight, it can cause pain and discomfort. If it's too loose, the ring will just fall off.
- Shave your public hair - As a beginner, you wouldn’t want the cock ring tugging at your pubic hair during penetrative sex with your partner. So, ensure to trim your pubic hair before using a cock ring for the first time.
- Make sure that the cock ring is properly lubricated. This will help it slide more easily onto your penis and keep it in place.
- Wear the cock ring when you're aroused (semi erect) but not fully erect. This will ensure that the ring goes on easily and that it doesn't cause any pain or discomfort when it's finally in place.
- Wash and dry your cock ring before and after use to avoid bacteria build-up
- Finally, do not wear a cock ring for too long. Wearing a cock ring for more than 20 to 30 minutes can cause a permanent injury or damage to your penis. When engaging in many rounds of sex, make sure to wait for at least 45 to 60 minutes before wearing a cock ring again after each session. Each session must not exceed 30 minutes.
