Over the last 6 years that I have been at TooTimid, I have been asked repeatedly about cock rings. Are they safe? YES. Do they work? YES. Will they help me maintain an erection? YES. Do they have ones that will be pleasurable for my partner? YES. How do you use one? Well, let’s explore the world of cock and vibrating rings and see what we can learn? Class is now in session.

COCK RING CONCEPTS: The idea behind a cock ring is simple: when placed correctly, they assist in keeping the blood that flows into the penis IN the penis, thereby maintaining and erection and / or making an erection stronger. Vibrating cock rings can do this AND provide stimulation for the man and his partner – or – they can just be for the stimulation and not really add to the erection.

PENIS PLACEMENT: So, how does one ‘wear’ a cock ring? Simply, you take the ring and stretch it under BOTH testicles (balls) and over the shaft. Do not just put it over the shaft at the base of the penis, this does nothing more than put a plastic ring around your cock. You need the pressure at the base of your balls to assist in blood flow retention. Keep in mind, the placement should be done while the penis is semi-hard, not completely hard, and not limp. As the blood flows IN, the cock ring will keep the blood there.

SIZE MATTERS: Yes, the size of your cock ring must be right. The last thing you want is for your penis to turn blue from lack of blood circulation. Cock rings are not “one size fits all” – so it is important to find the size and fit that is correct for your penis. It should feel snug, but not TIGHT. You should not be in pain, and it should not make your penis numb. On the contrary, it should not fall off either. My best suggestion is to get a basic 3-pack such as Magnum Force Cock Ring Set. This has 3 choices to choose from – large to average.

TIMELINE: Since you are essentially cutting off some of the blood flow to your penis, you want to be very time conscious. You can’t leave it on for more than 20-25 minutes. Also, if you are in pain or your penis goes numb, remove the ring immediately! Always keep a pair of scissors handy in case you need to cut it off. So, enjoy your foreplay, put on your cock ring, and then enjoy a tremendous climax – just take the ring off at the 25 minute mark.

PARTNER PLEASURE: Besides having the added bonus of a stronger erection, your partner can also get some clitoral stimulation if you go the vibrating cock ring route. There are many to choose from, but some of my favorites are: Buzz Bunny Cockring where you can have the benefits of a cockring with the clitoral buzzing of a rabbit vibe. Or, the Clit Buddy - Rocky Rabbit Erection Enhancer is quite fabulous!

For the more advanced, a unique cock ring experience is the Deep Diver Dolphin Enhancer With Beads as this is a sheath for the penis, as opposed to a ring, that hugs the penis and delivers a more secure feeling while also giving vibrations to the woman. It is a unique experience!

Whatever route you choose, a cock ring can be a fun diversion for those couples wanting to try a little spice – or – it can be an added erectile aid. If you feel you want to vamp up your erection just a bit, try a cock ring. The normal weaning of an erection can be remedied by these little rings. For mild ED a cock ring can be an ego boost that helps TREMENDOUSLY. Also, I have never heard a woman complain about a harder erection! Basically, these rings are a win-win situation! So, why not try out a cock ring or vibrating ring – there are tons to choose from. So, let’s all ring better sex with a cock ring, shall we?
