A cock ring can enhance sexual pleasure for both partners by helping to create a hard, long-lasting erection. They can also add extra stimulation and even help to prevent premature ejaculation.
They work by restricting the flow of blood to the penis. This can cause pain if worn for too long, so it’s important to use them in short bursts.
Choose the Right Ring
A cock ring can do a lot of things to get you hard in the bedroom, from enhancing your erection to providing clitoral stimulation. It works with the same mechanism that gets you hard in the first place: blood is pumped into your penis and a series of valves slow down the return flow, filling the erectile tissue in your shaft. But before you can enjoy the throbbing hard-on that comes with a cock ring, it’s important to know how to use it properly.
Choose a ring that’s made of body-safe material, like silicone or stainless steel. You can find rings of different sizes, from large to extra small. For beginners, it’s best to start with a larger ring and work your way down. Larger rings are easier to insert and less likely to constrict too tightly. Smaller rings require more skill and dexterity to use effectively.
Some cock rings come with two separate loops designed to accommodate both your testicles and the base of your penis. Others have one big loop that’s suitable for both. Some also have bumps, ridges or spikes to give you extra sensation while you wear it.
No matter which kind you choose, a cock ring is always more comfortable when used with plenty of lubrication. Apply a generous amount of lubricant to your balls, cock and the ring before you put it on. If the ring is stretchy or flexible, make sure you insert it when your penis is semi-erect or flaccid, and don’t push the ring through until your balls are completely inserted.
Lubricate the Area
While there are a variety of ways to use a penis ring, most involve putting it around the base of the cock while the man is flaccid. This creates a seal that traps blood inside and can lead to an erection. In some cases, the ring can be worn for hours at a time, but it’s important that the cock is kept hydrated to prevent blood loss and encourage an erection.
A lubricant can make it easier to put on the ring and remove it. It can also help reduce any discomfort, especially for first-timers who may feel a pinching sensation in the testicles. Lube can also increase the sensitivity of the toy and enhance sensations of penetration. Just be sure to choose a body-safe lube and stick with the type that is compatible with the material of your penis ring.
While you can buy a simple ring to simply hold the cock in place, you can also find a variety of options with a number of different features designed to enhance the experience and provide a new sensation. Some rings come with ball stretchers, some are designed to fit around the base of the cock instead of the shaft, and some even have vibrators attached that can stimulate the wearer or a partner. There are also a number of harnesses that allow you to link the ring to a dildo for double penetration or to a nipple clamp.
Put the Ring on
Penis rings are designed to fit around the base of the penis and between the testicles, applying pressure. This pressure squeezes the testicles, helping to create a harder and longer erection. The amount of pressure can be increased or decreased by adjusting the size of the ring and adding or subtracting lubrication.
When using a cock ring, it is recommended that the user wears a condom to prevent sexually transmitted infections. In addition, the ring should be put on before penetration to allow the body’s blood supply to reach the area. It is also advisable to use a stretchy or flexible ring so that the penis can be inserted when semi-erect. This helps to avoid the discomfort of putting on the ring when fully erect.
If the ring is not removed in time, a person could end up with gangrene (where the blood supply to the penis is cut off and the tissue that makes it up dies). Keeping the ring well fitted and removing it within 30 minutes will help to reduce this risk. If you do have a problem with removing the ring, seek medical attention immediately. Aside from this, penis rings are generally considered to be safe and easy to use. Experiment with different types and techniques to find what works best for you.
Take it Off
Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned member-ring user, always use caution when wearing a cock ring. For example, it’s a good idea to limit how long you wear one because it works by restricting blood flow. It’s also not a good idea to sleep with one on because it can lead to priapism, an unstoppable erection that can cause pain, discomfort and even permanent damage.
To avoid any discomfort, try lubricating the base of your package with more than just a drop or two of lube before putting on the ring. It may help to have your partner stimulate the area while you’re getting comfortable with it too. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also pair a penis ring with a butt plug or wand vibrator for an even more intense experience.
Cock rings can be tricky to put on, especially if you’re not used to them. To make it easier, psychologist and sex expert Antonia Hall recommends placing the ring on while your penis is flaccid or semi-erect. Start with your balls first, then slide your penis through the ring and continue to stimulate the area until it’s erect.
While a cock ring can help you get and keep an erection, it’s important to understand that nothing but months of regular pumping or a surgery will actually make your penis bigger. But a ring can give it a temporary increase in length and girth, making it feel fuller and heavier than usual.
