What is a cock ring?

If you’re not sure what this is, don’t worry. It can be a little confusing to understand. Basically, it’s what it sounds like: a ring that goes around a man’s member.

There are different types made of different materials but they all go around a man’s cock at the end of his shaft. The main types of cock rings are:

1. Stretchy rings

2. Vibrating rings [Read: How to choose a vibrator]

3. Solid rings

What does a cock ring do and how should you use it?

Firstly, you need to know how a cock ring works before you can actually use one. There are a lot of benefits to using a cock ring that most people just don’t know about.

It seems like a sex toy that doesn’t do much but in reality, it does more than you know. Here’s what a cock ring does and why you should introduce one during sex.

1. It makes him harder

This is the biggest thing a cock ring does. Because it sits around the base of his penis and is tight, it restricts blood flowing away from his member.

This means the blood is being stored and trapped there, making him much harder than he normally would be. [Read: 25 secrets to make a guy cum fast, hard, and explode is load in minutes]

2. It makes him bigger

Because it traps the blood flow, it also makes him bigger. And we all know how beneficial a larger erection can be.

This will not only make him able to go deeper and please you more, but it’ll also just feel different. That difference can make it much more exciting for both of you! [Read: Big balls – the pros, cons, and what girls really think]

3. He’s more sensitive with one

Another benefit he’ll receive by using a cock ring is that he’ll be more sensitive.

Now, this can be a good thing but it can also make him a little too sensitive. You may have to alter your positions and figure out what feels best for him with the new sensitivity he’ll have.

4. It’ll make him last longer

This is a great perk for both of you, but especially for women. Since women tend to take longer to reach orgasm than men, a cock ring can help you get there without him finishing too early.

It also allows you both to experiment and see which positions feel best without the fear that he’ll finish before you. [Read: 20 ways to keep an erection for much longer]

5. His orgasm will feel better

When he does finish, it’ll be powerful and more explosive than normal. Since his blood flow is restricted and it’s all pooling to his shaft, he’s more sensitive. And that sensitivity allows for a much stronger orgasm!

There’s something really hot about using a sex toy, no matter what it is. You’re bringing something new and foreign into your sex routine and that excitement can heighten everything.

Just the anticipation alone can make sex better. [Read: 46 sizzling sex life secrets to spice up your bedroom]

7. It changes the sex for both of you

How much do you really change up your normal sex routine? Probably not very often. And adding this new sex toy into your routine will change it a lot.

You’ll see just how great it can be to add new positions and elements to what you normally do.

When your body gets something new sex-wise, it makes it feel better. And this is because if you do the same routine every time, your body grows accustomed to it, desensitizing you to the pleasure. A cock ring can change that! [Read: How to satisfy women in bed and make sex more exciting]

Are cock rings safe, and who shouldn’t use one?

As long as you use them correctly, then yes, cock rings are totally safe. However, there are some people who shouldn’t use a cock ring:

1. If you take blood thinning medication

2. If you take medication that affects awareness or attention

3. If you have an existing penile injury

4. If you experience soreness in the groin or genital area

It’s also important to only wear a cock ring for up to 30 minutes at a time. More than this and you risk damage to the penis. If he feels any discomfort, numbness, or pins and needles before that, take it off.

Also, cock rings are designed to restrict the penis, not strangle it! The cock ring should feel comfortable and stimulating when it’s around the penis, not like it’s about to explode. [Read: Male masturbation toys that are so much better than your hand]

What material is right?

Cock rings come in every material under the sun. Do your research to find out what type of ring is going to be better for your/his build.

For example, well-endowed men may opt for elastic or silicone cock rings since these will be able to easily stretch around their girth.

Metal rings provide a secure design and a stimulating material that glides against the penis skin, but may cause rashes or pinching. Stick to hypoallergenic materials that are easy to put on and easy to clean. [Read: The vajankle and other downright creepy sex toys that are worth knowing about]

How to use a cock ring the right way

You may think there isn’t really a way to mess up using something so simple, but there is. In order to get the most out of your cock ring, follow these tips.

1. Find positions that work the best for you

Since he’ll be bigger and harder than usual, you may have to change up the sex positions you usually try. [Read: Spicy sex positions to heat up your bedroom romps]

Not only will the typical ones feel different, but you may end up liking a certain position that you didn’t before. A few suggestions include:

a. Straddle their saddle: The guy sits on the floor or bed, and the receiving partner climbs on top.

b. Row their boat: The guy sits on a chair and the receiving partner straddles them.

c. Get down on it: One partner sits on top of the other and crosses their legs.

d. Missionary: No explanation required! [Read: Is missionary sex really boring?]

2. Make sure you both like it

Don’t continue using the cock ring if both of you aren’t feeling the benefits. Sometimes it can make a man too big and that can be painful for the woman. Other times the man can dislike how sensitive it makes him.

The point is, it should be pleasurable for both of you – not just one.

3. Find the one that fits your needs

There are all different types of rings. They range in size, material, flexibility, and complexity. Some rings even have bonus attachments added to them! Figure out what you want and choose one that you’ll both enjoy.

4. He should put it on before he’s hard

Don’t try slipping on a cock ring while he’s rock-hard. It just won’t work. Make sure he’s only slightly hard so there’s room to easily slide it on. [Read: 37 potent secrets to get and stay hard and keep an erection for longer]

5. Lube it up

This is definitely required. Not only does it make putting it on easier, but you need the lube to take it off.

If you don’t have lube on and you try to remove it, it could get stuck and that’s not fun for anybody. Be sure to use a lubricant type that is compatible with your newfound toy. [Read: How to use lube to liven up your sex life instantly]

6. Try a pre-use trim

Pubic hair can sometimes get caught on the ring and that can be painful! We suggest he does a trim before use and he’ll have a much more comfortable experience.

7. Get the right size

There are different sizes, so make sure you choose one that fits correctly. It shouldn’t be too loose, and it shouldn’t be too tight either. It should be comfortable.

8. Clean it up afterward

It goes without saying that you should clean the cock ring after use to make sure it stays safe and ready for the next time you want to reach for it.

Never use a cock ring that hasn’t been cleaned since it was last used, or hasn’t been used for a while without cleaning it first. [Read: How to have safe sex and the dangers of unprotected sex most don’t know]

9. In case of problems, get help

Look, it’s unlikely but in some cases, a cock ring might get stuck. If this happens, don’t panic, just go and get some medical help. Trust us, you won’t be the first or the last, and the doctor will have seen it all before.

Common myths and misconceptions

Because few people really understand what a cock ring does or how it can bring so much pleasure, there are quite a few myths and misconceptions floating around.

It all comes down to a lack of knowledge, but now you know everything you need to know! So if you’ve read any of these myths and considered them to be true, just ignore them. [Read: Peeing after sex and other confusing myths about the vagina]

1. It’ll make your penis fall off

No, it won’t. If you use it as directed and you never go over 30 minutes of use at any one time, your penis is most definitely not going to fall off.

2. It’ll get stuck on your penis

Look, it can, but only if you use the wrong size! So, make sure you get one that fits comfortably and isn’t too tight and you’re very unlikely to have to visit the emergency room with a stuck cock ring.

3. It’ll pull out your pubes

A cock ring is unlikely to leave you bald down there, but if you do have concerns, just have a quick trim before you use it. [Read: How to safely shave your pubic area – a guide for men]

4. It’ll break the skin

If it does this, there is something very wrong indeed! Again, this misconception probably comes from choosing the right size.

Are you ready to try a cock ring?

If you’ve never used a cock ring before, why not give it a try? A cock ring can bring a world of pleasure to you both. As long as you choose the right one, they’re very safe to use for up to 30 minutes at a time.

Sometimes, trying something new is the perfect way to spice things up!
