Cock Ring

Cock Ring

A cock ring is a device designed to inhibit blood flow out of the penis, simultaneously increasing penis sensitivity and rigidity (hardness).

How It Works: While the penis is soft, the cock ring should be put on behind the testicles, and then the penis should be brought to erection. While wearing the ring, it is harder for blood to escape from the penis. The result is an erection that is more sensitive to the person wearing the ring, and can result in the user’s penis feeling harder and larger to both them and their partner.

Adjustable Cock Rings: Adjustable cock rings attach around the penis using snaps, Velcro, or sliders. The benefit to these rings is that they can be specifically sized to the girth of the penis of the user. Additionally, they can be immediately removed in cases of discomfort or emergency.

Non-Adjustable Cock Rings: Non-adjustable cock rings are continuous rings often made of rubber or metal that can only be removed when the penis is soft. These rings should only be used by those that are experienced cock ring users.

Partner Cock Rings: These cock rings are generally worn in front of the testicles and are put on after the penis is already erect. These rings often have attachments that provide added stimulation for a partner’s clitoris, testicles, or anus. Because these rings are not usually designed specifically as cock rings, they aren’t as tight as other cock rings and will not result in the same increased sensitivity and rigidity.

Triple Crown/Ball Spreader Cock Rings: In addition to having a ring placed around the penis, triple crown cock rings have straps designed to be put around the testicles. When a man is about to ejaculate, his testicles normally pull up toward his body to help with propelling sperm. A triple crown cock ring will inhibit this movement, which can intensify orgasmic sensation, and possibly delay ejaculation.

Cock Ring Materials: Cock rings most commonly come in neoprene, leather, rubber, silicone, and metal.

Do Cock Rings Make Someone “Last Longer?” For some, having the cock ring on may result in a longer amount of time before ejaculation occurs. For others, the increased amount of blood and the resultant increase in sensitivity may result in quicker ejaculation. Ejaculating may decrease in time as the user get used to wearing a cock ring. Ball spreader cock-rings, because they inhibit the testicles’ ability to pull toward the body, may have better results in terms of increasing the amount of time it takes before a man ejaculates.

Cock Ring Safety: It is important that cock rings be worn no longer than 20 minutes during erection. Wearing a cock ring longer than 20 minutes during erection can result in pain, bruising, and sometimes permanent damage to the penis. A cock ring worn over a soft penis can be worn as long as the user wishes. People using non-adjustable cock rings made of softer materials should have safety shears accessible in the case a ring needs to be removed during an emergency. Metal ring users may have to go to an emergency room for removal in case of emergency.

Cock Ring Beginners: For those using cock rings for the first time, an adjustable ring is recommended so that the ring can be removed at any time. It is also recommended that the partner wearing the ring tries it out alone first to determine how their body responds to the ring. When first trying out cock rings, it is recommended that rings are only worn for about 5 minutes, and then as the user gets more comfortable, they can increase the duration until the 20 minute limit is reached.

EMOTIONAL BENEFITS OF COCK RINGS

Cock rings don’t just offer physical pleasure. For some couples, using cock rings as part of their sex life increase emotional connection.

In particular, cock rings, due to the nature of needing a discussion, can help foster vulnerability between partners.  Successful usage of cock rings require a certain amount of conversations.  Discussions around sex, be definition create an atmosphere of trust and openness. Using cock rings encourages communication about sexual pleasure—it creates a safe space for partners to talk openly about what feels good (and not so good). This kind of open dialogue is often lacking in modern relationships, making cock rings a valuable tool in sex therapy.
