Cock rings, are they safe? Yup. Do they work? 100% yes. Will they help me maintain an erection? Yessir. Do they have ones that will be pleasurable for my partner? Sure do. How do you use a cock ring? Well, let's explore the world of cock and vibrating rings and see what we can learn? Class is now in session. 

Why Should I Use a Cock Ring?

The idea behind a cock ring is simple: when placed correctly, it assists in keeping the blood that flows to the penis IN the penis, allowing you to maintain an erection for longer and/or making an erection stronger. Vibrating cock rings can do this AND provide stimulation for yourself and your partner or they can just be for the stimulation and not really add to the erection.

How to Wear a Cock Ring:?

So, how does one "wear" a cock ring? You simply take the ring and stretch it under BOTH testicles and over the shaft. If you are looking to prolong your erection, be sure to 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.

How Long Should I Wear a Cock Ring?

Since you are essentially cutting off some of the blood flow to your penis, you want to be very time conscious. You really shouldn't be leaving 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.

Does Size Matter?

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 a "one size fits all" sort of thing, so it is important to find the size and fit that is correct for your penis. It should feel snug, but not too 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 multi-ring pack with a few sizes to choose from, ranging from average to large. The Cock Ring Set of 3 below is one of our favorites:

Partner Pleasure

Besides having the added bonus of a stronger erection, if your partner has a vagina, they can also get some clitoral stimulation if you go the vibrating cock ring route. There are many different types of rings like this, some that act like a sheath on your penis, as opposed to a standard ring. Some have a rabbit attachment for clitoral buzzing, like the Wireless Clit Teasing Erection Enhancing Cock Ring! These sexy rings offer a unique experience that is bound to bring intense orgasms.

How To Care For A Cock Ring

Cock rings are easy to care for as they only require some warm, soapy water to cleanse properly. If your ring has a vibrator in it, however, it is imperative that you remove that before cleaning it. Rings which are leather require greater care in cleansing as a lubricant and too much water saturation can cause erosion. Watch the video on How to clean sex toys

Look for signs of material breakdown or tearing. Most cock rings are made of a flexible rubber or jelly-type material. These are extremely good for experimenting with sizes and for providing a tight fit. However, these materials can also rip or erode if they are stretched too far or are not cared for properly. Making sure you properly cleanse, dry and store your cock rings when not in use is essential for long material life. Also, dry your ring thoroughly, and store in a dry place without direct heat (as in under a table-side lamp) to avoid melting.

In conclusion, cock rings can be beneficial to all users, whether truly needed for light erectile dysfunction, or for just novelty purposes. They are usually inexpensive and easy to purchase.  Here are some of TooTimid's favs - best rings for men. Always follow all instructions and never use a cock ring that causes any type of penile discomfort. Experiment with sizes if necessary to find the proper fit.

Using a Ring for Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.) Problems

A cock ring can be a potential solution for helping a man's erectile dysfunction (ED). The penis band is meant to restrict blood flow from the penis, making erections harder and longer lasting. It's often used in conjunction with other treatments for ED. Always remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment for erectile dysfunction. Some men will use penis pumps, hollow strap on and penis sleeves to help them prolong their erection.

Happy Endings - Keep educating yourself

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 aide. 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 anyone 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. Let's all ring better sex with a cock ring, shall we?

    The first time I got used to clock ring on me wow he made me come constantly he was a black guy with an island’s dick just f****** so good I mean I was smoking screen just squirting c** I get so hard you ladies love it because of me s******** like a s******** like I do oh my God I don’t love it and when he comes

    I put this on my man before I get on top and ride him. Sometimes he cums right away, but the ring keeps him hard until I am done, two or three times later.

    Cock rings are just what the love doctor ordered. A perfectly fitting cock ring with a ball stretcher puts me ready for action with a raging hard on you could hang a towel on. Sometimes I’ll use a vacuum pump to add some extra thickness which drives her wild when I finally slip it in and start pumping.

    Highly recommended. If the fit is comfortable, wearing the cock ring at the base gives a man a better looking package and a way to edge and build up stamina.

    I have several vibrating cock rings, and none that I would recommend as overall good, as a woman can only feel it on her clit when she grinds, not during thrusting. The larger ones with the vibrating motors so strong that I get something out of it also effectively shorten cock length by blocking the last half inch or so of the shaft.

    Wearing a cock ring around the nuts also has benefits. The vasdefrens contract as orgasm approaches. Holding the nuts down makes it more difficult to blow a nut.

    They are awesome! I put them around the base of my penis and another one around my cock and balls, love it
