Cock rings are often seen as a fun sex toy which can improve your sex life. Guys wear them and often rave about how much fun they are. Primarily designed to help maintain your erection, cock rings do a lot more than just that.

Basic cock rings can be worn at the base of the penis during masturbation or sex. In their simplest form, cock rings are meant to help you stay hard for longer. But there are loads of different types of rings to choose from. All of which are slightly different in what they achieve even when they function similarly.

Some men like to use cock rings to help their erection. They tend to work in either helping make an erection harder or keeping the erection for longer. This works by restricting the blood flow from leaving the penis. Meaning when your cock becomes swollen with arousal, the cock ring traps the blood there and makes it swell more and stay up.

By helping a guy to keep a good erection, cock rings can help you make sex last longer. Although there are other hacks you can try to achieve this too. Instead of opting for medical assistance via erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra or Cialis, cock rings can offer a drug-free alternative.

How to use cock rings

When you put on a cock ring, adding some lube to the inside of the band will help get it on comfortably. You should check that the lube you use is compatible with the material of the cock ring too. As you can buy cock rings made from silicone, leather, metal and other combinations.

If you use a metal cock ring, you should put it on while you’re still soft. Whereas stretchy cock rings can be put on at any stage of your erection. You don’t want to hurt yourself in a bad way by having a poorly fitting cock ring either.

Putting the cock ring on when you’re hard will help you establish what the best fit is. It shouldn’t pull your cock in too much to make it narrow or cause bruising. But it should fit snugly on your shaft and increase the pressure of your erection while possibly making it slightly redder.

Wearing cock rings during sex may take some practice to find the best position. If you’re wearing it to stimulate your partner, girl-on-top sex positions may give her more pleasure. Luckily you can try different cock rings to find which works best.

Sex positions such as cowgirl and missionary work well for more clitoral stimulation. Although if you position the cock ring right, it can still work in others too. For something extra rubbing against her ass, you could use a cock ring during doggy or spoons.

After 30 minutes, it’s recommended that you remove the cock ring anyway. As you get more familiar with them you can extend the playtime sessions gradually. Making sure it stays comfortable and pleasurable for both of you is always best.

Types of cock rings

There are different types of cock rings to suit each individual or couple. Depending on what you want to get out of wearing a cock ring, certain styles may be better than others.

When you’re wearing a cock ring primarily to help improve your sex life through performance, a basic cock ring may be best. This way there’s no frills to make it more complicated and you know what you’re doing.

Cock rings come in different sizes too and may even include small paddles meant to act like a tongue during sex. If your girlfriend enjoys more pressure on her clit to orgasm, using a cock ring with a tongue adaption may suit you both.

Some cock rings just go around your penis while others can go around your penis and balls. This makes for a mild introduction to CBT (cock and ball torture). If you want to go for both your nuts and your banana in a cock ring, a little grooming might help avoid any trapped pubes!
