Sex Toys Guide – Cock Rings

The purpose of a cock ring is to restrict blood flow out of the penis, which provides a certain pressure and heightened sensation for a man. It also allows for a longer lasting more solid erection. It is not recommended for use if a man is having ED issues as a resolution to the problem. Please consult a physician to see if the use of a cock ring is a safe choice for you if you are experiencing ED. There are many different choices when it comes to cock rings. Due to different anatomy not every cock ring will fit each person. We recommend for beginners to start with an adjustable, one slip knot style cock ring for easier removal. A cock ring is usually worn at the base of the penis behind the scrotum, however, some men prefer to wear them at the bottom of the shaft of the penis only. It is easiest to put on a cock ring when the penis is flaccid or not yet fully erect. It is recommended to wear a cock ring no longer than 20 minutes and to remove it when no longer comfortable. For first time users you may want to test it out for 5 or 10 minutes just to see how it feels both on and then when it comes off. Another tip is to trim the hair around the scrotum to avoid any hair getting caught in the cock ring or the snap.

Single Strap Cock Rings or adjustable cock rings are a good place to start when experimenting with a cock ring. Simply lift your penis and scrotum and strap it around them and snap it or tighten it until it feels a bit snug but not too tight. When you are ready to remove it just unsnap or loosen it slowly and pull it off. This style of cock ring can be put on and removed easily even if you already have an erection.

Ball Spreader Cock Rings are designed to put some pressure between the scrotum and the penis and some go one step further and divide the testicles within the scrotum for additional sensation. Most of these snap into place and are easy to remove as well. There is a strap that goes over the shaft of the penis and a strap that wraps around the base of the penis behind the scrotum. These look like an 8. The ones that have ball dividers are more like a T. Best when put on before a complete erection and easy to remove whether erect or not as long as there are straps.

Stretchy Cock Rings are made out of a stretchy jelly or silicone material and are one full circle with no adjustment available. You simply stretch them over your semi-erect penis, and pop your testicles through one at a time if you prefer to have it rest at the base of the penis behind the scrotum. Once you have it where you want it you can let it go gently and it will tighten naturally. Because it is stretchy it should not be too tight on you, however, if it does feel too tight and becomes uncomfortable, remove it immediately. These stretchy cock rings come in all sorts of styles and colors. Some of them have little stimulators coming off of them for added pleasure. These are easy to remove once your erection is gone and if you feel the need to remove it sooner they are easy to remove with a full erection as well. If you are having trouble removing it you can also cut these off easily, but be careful!

Solid Cock Rings are often made out of various types of metal. These are a complete circle and are not easy to remove unless you have lost your erection. Some are thick and heavier than others. There are many choices as the sensation of the weighted or thickness often is part of the experience for many men. Also due to the differences in anatomy and how men prefer to wear them the sizes vary. The proper way to get into a solid cock ring is to slip it over your flaccid penis to the base of the shaft and then gently slip one testicle in at a time though the hole until it is resting at the base of the penis behind the scrotum. It is helpful to consider how you would get out of the solid cock ring should your erection not go away within 20 minutes or so. Some ideas are ice or cold water, lube, or ejaculation will help.


Vibrating Cock Rings
 are especially fun for couples as the vibration provides hands-free clitoral stimulation for your female partner. They come in so many varieties these days, most of which are made from a stretchy silicone or jelly material with a small vibrator or two strategically placed for ultimate stimulation.

There are disposable ones such as The Screaming O and others you can keep and replace the batteries. There are some with little bunny ears to help stimulate the clitoris and others that have a second vibrator to provide sensation to the scrotum and still others that wrap around both the penis and the scrotum and provide vibration and pressure in the perineum for the male partner wearing the ring. A wide variety of options available of vibrating cock rings adding a lot of hands free fun and enriching the sex lives of many couples these days.

Warning: do not use cock rings if you bleed easily or have a blood clotting disorder, if you are diabetic, or if you suffer from any peripheral vascular or nerve disease. Do not use these toys if you are taking anticoagulants, aspirin, or any other blood-thinning medication. In the event use causes discomfort or any unusual body changes — including bruising, pain, bleeding or loss of sensation — discontinue use immediately and check with a sex-positive physician. Do not place over sore, swollen, or infected areas or areas without sensation.
