The 411 on Cock Rings

For those with vaginas and clitorises, it can seem like the world of sex toys is infinite. Teasers and ticklers, suckers, and vibrators. Things that thrust, things that flap, things that inflate – and things that do all of those things at the same time!

But there are a few ways to level the playing field. Besides the obvious ones like opening doors (let’s see a vibrator do THAT!), paying attention to little details during conversations, and asking your partner what they want when you’re getting down and dirty, there are a few silicone friends you too can grab in order to take your bedroom game up a notch.

So let’s talk cock rings.

What’s a Cock Ring?

Cock rings – also known as penis rings, constriction rings, pleasure rings, and c-rings – are sex toy devices that wrap around the penis (and sometimes testicles) in order to prolong erections, delay and intensify orgasm, heighten sensation, as well as help those who struggle with staying erect.

Some cock rings are just basic silicone rings, but many include vibrating motors that can be positioned against a partner to enhance their stimulation. Some include a secondary ring to wrap around the testicles for even more sensation, and others include anal or perineum teasers to stimulate the wearer even more.

The Science Behind Constriction

There is a science behind cock rings. We all know that erections happen when blood flows into the tissues of the penis. A cock ring simply slows the flow of that blood out of the penis, thereby making it stick around longer. If the blood takes its time to leave the penis, the penis stays harder, longer.

Wait, Is That Safe?

Applying lubricant will ensure the ring feels comfortable. Keeping your time with the ring limited to 30 minutes or less at a time will make sure that no damage is caused and that blood can continue to flow normally.

You should feel a slight pressure when wearing a cock ring. It may be a little unusual or uncomfortable at first, but it shouldn’t hurt. If a cock ring causes you pain, it should be removed immediately. More than likely, you simply need a ring that is bigger and constricts less.

Should I Try A Cock Ring?

Cock rings are a great way to up your game in the bedroom. They aren’t just for those who have trouble staying erect. They can enhance your performance regardless of your physicality.

Many rings come with vibrating functions that can be positioned against a partner’s clitoris during sex – turning you into a human vibrator. Especially if you’ve never really experienced the fun of using a toy during sex, a cock ring can be a great way to ease yourself and your partner into the world of intimate accessories. They’re a simple and effective way to ensure that everyone gets a little action in the bedroom.
