What is a cock ring?

A cock ring is a sex toy ring that fits around the base of the penis. This sex toy can be used during masturbation, to stimulate your partner during sex, to build up to a wild orgasm, or to make your erection last longer. [Read: How long should sex really last? The real score!]

Cock rings come in all different materials such as silicone, metal, and rubber. There are also different styles. Metal cages are a hard-core way to lock up your dick, while beaded rings offer delightful pearls that stimulate both you and your partner. Silicone rings are designed with vibrating bullets on the top, as well as cock rings created with attachments meant for simultaneous anal or testicle stimulation.

Some cock rings look pretty straightforward, while others look about as easy as navigating the Pineapple Garden Maze while you’re drunk. Confused about how to use a cock ring? We’ve got you covered. Here’s a step by step of how to slide on this magical unit.

#2 The cock ring should sit comfortably around the base of the penis. It should feel tight, but not painful.

#3 If your cock ring has an anal attachment, you’ll want to insert it after you have put the ring around your penis. If it has inserts for your testicles to fit through you’ll want to insert them *before* the cock ring has been placed around the base of the penis.

#4 Use lubrication. You should always make sure to lube up before the cock ring is attached. A water-based lube is best. This will prevent damage, will allow the ring to come off easily, and will make attaching it much, much easier in the long run.

#5 If your cock ring has a vibrating bullet, you’ll want to put the ring on so that the bullet faces the top of the penis. This will be the best angle for your lover to use it to stimulate her clit.

#6 Once you are done with the cock ring, be sure to let your penis go entirely flaccid before removing it. This will aid in safe removal of the toy. [Read: 20 ways to keep an erection up for way longer]

Who is a cock ring designed for?

Ready to rocket into orgasmic bliss? Cock rings are great for bedroom play for both men and women. For men, a cock ring will stimulate and capture blood flow, leading to an explosive orgasm.

For many women, using toys are the only way they will orgasm during sex. The cock ring is perfect for giving her pleasure, too. Since cock rings give the penis a longer lasting erection, she’ll have more times to get her rocks off while she rides you. On top of this, many cock rings are created with a vibrating nub on the top designed to stimulate the clit to perfection. [Read: How to make a woman orgasm – 15 secrets to master the art]

What material is right for me?

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 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]

Cock ring precautions

As with all sex toys and new sex techniques, use with caution! While sex toys are designed to be fun and frisky, they’re not for everyone. Here are some things to keep in mind:

a. If you start to feel numbness or pins and needles sensations down south, it’s time to give the cock ring a rest.

b. Cock rings are designed to restrict your penis, not strangle it! Your cock ring should feel comfortable and stimulating when it’s around your penis, not like your tool is about to explode. [Read: 10 male masturbation toys that are so much better than your hand]

c. Men should never, ever, ever wear the cock ring for longer than 30 minutes. The cock ring is designed to trap blood in the penis to make it harder and slightly bigger. However, this can also result in priapism, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.

To have the most fun between the sheets, try testing out different cock rings and find out which one is the best fit for you and your partner.
