If you’re wondering what does a cock ring do, read on!

What is a Cock Ring?

A cock ring is a ring, usually made of a flexible material such as silicone (although some are made of leather or metal) that is worn around the base of the penis and sometimes the testicles to enhance orgasms and maintain longer harder erections. It’s a great sex toy to introduce to your relationship because it’s on the relatively tame side. Because they help slow blood flow from leaving an erect penis they can be used to help treat erectile dysfunction, even for men who get partial erections.

Some cock rings vibrate, which can open up a lot of playtime possibilities for you and your partner. Some also have built-in clit stimulators and anal beads or come in various configurations to stimulate a partner’s pleasure. Some models are designed to be rotated and worn in various ways to enhance different sex positions and parts of your partner’s body.

What Does a Cock Ring Do?

There are several benefits of using a cock ring that both partners can appreciate. This is just a partial list of the fun that can be had with a cock ring.

Harder, Longer Lasting Erections

As mentioned, a cock ring can give a man a harder, longer-lasting erection by helping to keep the blood flow contained in the penis. Some men even swear the cock ring makes their manhood look bigger or longer. Even if ED is not a concern, you or your partner may enjoy wearing one just because it looks sexy.

More Intense Orgasms

A cock ring can help a man have more powerful orgasms. In fact, they help increase sensation so that penetration is even more pleasurable. Just keep in mind that you don’t want to wear one for more than 20 minutes at a time and you should take it off should you experience any pain or discomfort.

More Pleasurable Oral Sex

Slip a vibrating cock ring over your tongue for added stimulation when giving oral sex. It can really enhance your partner’s pleasure and lead to mind-blowing orgasms. You can also slip it onto your fingers and use it when exploring your partner’s erogenous zones and giving a handjob.

Amazing Masturbation

Place a vibrating cock ring over a dildo for an explosive masturbation session, or use it solo to explore your sensitive areas. Go easy at first, as you may find a lighter touch is all it needs to push you over the edge. Also, take care when using anything with moving parts near public hair.

Tips For Using Cock Rings Safely

Cock rings are a safe sex toy, but you do want to just follow a few precautions so you can enjoy them for years to come. You should always clean them after every use to wash away bacteria and prevent STDs. Don’t use a cock ring if you have a blood condition, and consult your doctor first if you have any doubts about whether it’s safe for you to use one.

Some cock rings come in various sizes, so choose one that’s comfortable for your penis size that won’t cut off blood circulation. We recommend taking it off after 20 minutes so blood flow can’t be affected. Also, avoid cock rings made of materials you may be allergic to such as latex.
