Why do I need a cock ring?
What do cock rings actually do? If you’ve found yourself asking this question, the answer is: they give you a firm erection. They also provide a wider range of benefits as sex toys. You typically wear a cock ring around your penis, usually at the base of it. At times, you might add the balls within the single ring which encircles your penis, these are called cock-and-ball rings or c-rings. It also makes your package look bigger.
Types of cock rings:
Apart from the typical cock ring and the cock-and-ball rings or c-rings, there are rings with thicker bands which fit around the scrotum, above the testicles and are called ball stretches. Moreover, there are glans rings or head rings, known as crowns, which fit under the head (glans) of the penis.
Other purposes of a cock ring:
A cock ring, as said, can be used by yourself or your partner. It’s a real handy sex toy. Apart from its sexual and aesthetic functions, people often wear cock rings because of erectile dysfunction. As a cock ring accentuates your penis, sex becomes more exciting when using a cock ring!
Ahead in this article are some other important factors that are to be kept in mind while using a cock ring!
How to use a cock ring?
Getting the right size is so important! Every cock is different, obviously, so one person cannot or rather should not use someone else’s sex toys. Keeping safety and hygiene in mind, cock rings come and are sold in multiple widths and sizes – you don’t want a cock ring which is too tight or too loose, for the matter. The easiest way to know your size is, when you get an erection, take a measuring tape and wrap it around the base of your penis. And if you want a c-ring, wrap the tape together around your balls as well. And not just a measuring tape, get yourself a rope or a thread or just a string and find out how big a size you need. That’s how you find the diameter. Now you can also get a cock ring which is adjustable in size, that way it becomes easier and way more comfortable to wear one around your penis. These variety of cock rings also have a snap or a quick release function that lets you experiment with the size and comfort to find the best fit and the tightness which feels just right!
What does a cock ring do?
To begin with, it gives you longer, harder erections. And if you already have a great dick with a long, hard erection a cock ring helps you maintain that erection for an even longer period. Because the workings are so simple, you use a cock ring and it restricts the blood from flowing out of your penis and viola, it stands straight like a soldier. And not to mention, to see a dick that’s hard and strong, it turns your partner on immensely. Long duration, intense orgasms, enhanced masturbation, what else do you want?
Clitoral stimulation is another function of a cock ring. Because you can find such cock rings that vibrate, your partner not only gets sexual penetration from a harder dick but the cock ring at the base of the penis also vibrates and provides clitoral stimulation. It’s a pleasure package, to be honest. Plus, many vibrating cock rings have an extension – like nubbed or rigged elements designed to stimulate the female partner’s clitoris. Similarly, there are extensions that serve as stimulators for the wearer’s anus. Plus a harder dick helps exclusively in anal penetration of one’s partner.
Cock rings can be also used alongside other sex toys. Say, a vibrator, or a bullet vibrator, a buttplug, a dildo, or any BDSM gear, to enhance the sexual experience or masturbation. And besides, wearing a cock ring can also enhance the experience of getting a blow job or a hand job.
Safety Guidelines to follow when you’re using a cock ring:
There are things that can happen, like priapism, meaning your erection won’t go down. This sounds like fun but it isn’t. It’s rather painful. So do not wear a cock ring for more than 20 minutes and absolutely do not fall asleep while wearing one. If you’re cuddling, take that ring out first. If your penis starts to turn blue, take that ring off immediately and start rubbing the penis vigorously, the speed depending on if it hurts if you’re too vigorous. Rubbing ensures the flow of blood back in and out of the penis.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do I put my balls inside a ring?
Well firstly, get the correct size. When you slide your cock ring in, you’ll have some space left below your cock. Use lube if you need, and then insert your balls inside the ring, one at a time. Simple!
Q. Should I get a trim?
A trim definitely makes the ring easier to slide in. So you can opt to trim yourself. Pubic hair at times can also get caught into the cock ring you’re using. While you’re adjusting your cock ring, the hair might just get yanked. If you’re not careful, you can get hurt… it’s gonna be painful… a lot more painful than if your pubes were shaved. You know what? Get that hair trimmed.
How long should I use a cock ring for?
Definitely not more than 15 minutes. 20 minutes of restrained blood flow can weaken your organs. And my friend, you do not want your penis to be weak. Use it for 20 minutes at a stretch, then take a break of say, 5 minutes, and then use it again if you have to.
Should I use lube?
Lubricants can help you slide the ring easily. So, yes! Use the amount you think you need but not too much, because you don’t want your ring to slide out as easily as it got in. Lube is especially helpful when you’re wearing a metal or a non-adjustable silicone cock ring.
What to do if the ring is stuck?
Use that lube! Although it’s rare that a penis ring is stuck to your penis. Try to get the proper size, not too tight. Softly get one ball out at a time, and then get the penis out. A silicone ring turns soft and stretches in warm water, so jump in to have a warm shower if needed.
Should we cut a cock ring out?
NEVER. You can accidentally nick a vein or an artery in your penis. Run to the emergency room if necessary but put that blade away from yourself or your partner.
So, here’s to hope that this article has answered pretty much all the questions or queries you had about cock rings. After talking to people who have used a cock ring personally, they actually said it’s a fantastic sex toy. But of course, you have to keep safety in mind and use a cock ring properly. Also, try and clean your cock ring after every use and make sure you use your own cock ring. No borrowing sex toys from your childhood best friend.
