Who ever said accessories are only for women? Don't wear these on your fingers, though…

The cock ring is the Megamind of sex toys for men since it can be quickly put on and is ready to use, unlike other sex toys like butt plugs, dildos, and anal beads that require preparation beforehand. It's one of those straightforward methods with top-notch outcomes.

What exactly is a Penis ring?

Cock rings, pleasure rings, C-rings, and penile rings are some of the other names for what we know to be the band that circles the base of your penis (and even your balls if you want that). 

 Cock rings can assist even more blood accumulating in the penis, resulting in more intense hard-ons by adding additional methods of constriction on top of that vein.

Over the years, the usage of various cock rings, including silicone and stainless steel rings, has been witnessed. Some might even feature tiny vibrators to give you and your partner more pleasure.

Here's all you need to know about using a cock ring safely if you're interested in giving one a try and want to advance your sexual exposure in bed.

What a penis ring can do for you

Why would individuals put on a small sex toy around their penis in the first place?  Here are some arguments to persuade you.

1) They support you in keeping an erection

Any penis ring you use will function the same way: the ring arrests blood inside the shaft (body) of your penis, assisting you in maintaining an erection.

Additionally, erectile dysfunction, which happens when the tissues in your penis are unable to adequately lock in blood, can be avoided by wearing a tight-fitting ring at the base of your penis.

2.) Your confidence is raised to the roof

Every sex urologist will concur that "relaxation is necessary for erections." Simultaneously, performance anxiety could be reduced to some extent by using a penis ring.

You can feel more confident by wearing a cock ring since men of all sizes can benefit from the extra blood in the penis, which "makes their junk look bigger."

3.) They are able to extend and magnify your orgasm

Well, for starters, this ring-shaped sex toy can help you keep a bigger, firmer erection while extending the duration of your intercourse by squeezing the shaft of your penis and/or balls, and potentially triggering your partner's climax. Now, who can say no to that?

By compressing the area around the base of the penis and testicles, cock rings can postpone ejaculation. Additionally, some penis rings feature a second ring that encircles your testicles. Your testicles are pulled down by the second ring, which delays ejaculation and stimulates your scrotum and surrounding areas more. Carefully place a cock ring over your balls and shaft. Stretch the ring as far as it can go without snapping after it has reached the bottom of the shaft, then carefully insert one testicle at a time inside the ring.

The ring should be comfortably snug without becoming bothersome. Immediately take off the ring if anything is too unpleasant.

“When it comes to cock rings, size really does matter. It’s a one-toy-fits-all kinda thing!”

How you can make the best use of your penis ring

Here are some pointers to get you started if you're wondering how to use a cock ring for the first time or are just curious…

Finding the ideal cock ring is similar to choosing the ideal pair of shoes: if it's too big, it might fall off; if it's too tight, it might actually hurt you.

It should be snug enough to stay on during sexual activity but not so tight that it causes discomfort or agony or numbness.

A cock ring that is too small may become stuck (also known as penile strangling) and may result in health issues in the future.

    Try the cock ring on for size first

Much like shoes or a good pair of shorts, trying it on is the first step. This allows the user to beware of the comfort and feel of the cock ring before attempting to use it during sex. Trying a cock ring out for yourself takes off much of the performance pressure before you display it in front of your partner. 

Check to see if you like the feel of the ring around your penis, if it's comfortable or not, and if it does the job or not which is to give the penis an enlarged look with bulging veins and a stronger erection. If the penis ring gives your penis a reddish or blueish hue, then the ring is too tight and you should remove it as soon as possible. Go for one that stretches or you can adjust with ease instead. 

If you feel discomfort or if the cock ring does not feel like a good fit, you can always just not use it. It’s better to be safe than embarrass yourself in a later situation in bed. Your safety and comfort come first before you attempt anything without listening to your body’s signals. 

After 20 minutes, remove it!

Follow this rule with the utmost precaution! The penis can be injured if the ring is left on too long. If you feel numbness or pain, or notice the skin changing color, remove it immediately. The general recommendation is to keep a cock ring on for 20 to 30 minutes. The blood flow restriction is usually safe in short amounts of time, but it can become painful after a prolonged period. cutting off blood circulation to the penis altogether could cause tissue and urethral damage which may end up in the surgery or other drastic medical fixes to get rid of. 

However, a cock ring shouldn't be a problem as long as you listen to your body and follow the instructions. Be gentle when removing a cock ring. You can apply lube if necessary to help it slide off more easily. 

Lube is your safe bet

One can never go wrong with lube. It’s recommended to always use lube with sex toys, including cock rings. Before putting on a cock ring, spread a few drops of lube around the inner side of the ring. This will help it slide down a penis or dildo more easily.

Using the right kind of lubricant is also important. Avoid using silicone lube with a silicone cock ring as it can corrode the toy and cause damage. 

Then there’s the fact that oil-based lubricants can damage latex, so if you’re using condoms, that’s a big pass. Choosing a water-based lube makes things easier for all kinds of sex play and keeps the penis ring from getting damaged. 

Put the ring on a semi-erect penis

Don’t try to pop a cock ring on a fully erect penis. Even with lube, that might be too uncomfortable and difficult, depending on how tight the ring is. Placing the ring over the head of the penis and sliding it down the shaft will typically be easier if the penis is flaccid or semi-erect.

The cock ring goes either at the base of your penis or surrounds the shaft and balls. Make sure to apply lube in order to prevent hurting your shaft and those sensitive testicles. 

If you want to do this for your partner, place the cock ring over your partner's balls and shaft with care. Take your time with it and use lube so that you can get the hang of it. Once the ring is all the way down the shaft, stretch it as far as it can go without snapping, then gently place each testicle through the ring one at a time. 

The ring should feel pleasantly tight without feeling discomfort. Remove the ring immediately if anything feels too uncomfortable. 

Trim that bush

Prior to putting on your new toy, it's a good idea to trim or shave your pubic hair. Putting on a cock ring might cause undesired pain from hair pulling, which can ruin the mood. As much as you or your partner might be comfortable with pubic hair during sex, its always good to have it trimmed down to help the wearer from any unnecessary pains. No one wants a cock ring to be strung with pubic hair once you’re done using it.

The kinds of penis ring to pick from..

    Adjustable rings

To make it simple to wrap on and take off the toy, these rings feature Velcro, snaps, D-rings, or adjusters in the lasso style. You wear them around your penis and just above your scrotum. The benefit of adjustable rings is that you can enlarge them to allow the testicles to slide through. Adjustable rings are great as you can make them bigger for the testicles to pass through.

    Stretchy rings

This kind of ring is a closed circle that you extend to wrap around your penis and under your scrotum. It is often composed of soft silicone.

They are a well-liked option because they are simple to take off and adaptable.

    Vibrating rings

Add a little spice. With a vibrating cock ring and bam! You get a full-blown body orgasm that's not simply limited to your genitalia. This is something both you and your partner can enjoy with a cock ring to prolong and intensify sexual encounters. 

Vibrations are produced for you and your companion by a little motor contained in vibrating cock rings. Even though some men enjoy the vibration, their partners can also benefit from the sensations the vibration brings about, like a more intense clitoral stimulation.

Your sexual life may also improve by stimulating her clitoris with a vibrating ring. For added sexual arousal, the missionary and cowgirl positions are excellent when using vibrating cock rings.

    Solid rings

This is not for amateurs! Solid rings are produced from plastic or stainless steel or any other material that is not expandable. They are worn behind the scrotum and at the base of the penis. It can harm the penile if a guy uses one that is too small for his erectile capacity. A solid ring that was smaller than a man's penis was often the source of catastrophic mishaps since the man had to undergo surgery and physically cut the ring in half to remove it.

    Cock and ball rings

This kind of ring provides the best of both worlds. Essentially, one ring wraps around the base of your penis and the other around your testicles, so this toy will have two rings altogether. Cock and ball rings are excellent for those who enjoy having their testicles stimulated during intercourse or masturbation. These rings are especially useful for postponing ejaculation since they gently tug on your balls and prolong your climax.

The takeaway…

Cock rings are a simple yet effective sex toy used primarily to spice up a man’s sex life. These are circular bands that go around your penis and/or balls that serve many benefits such as maintaining an erection for a longer time, keeping your sex and foreplay intense and steamy with your partner, boosting your confidence and decreasing performance anxiety, etc. There are many types of penis rings to choose from. However, finding the right fit, being cautious, and overall comfort while using a cock ring are part and parcel of the add-on benefits you receive.
