A cock ring is worn around the base of your penis or testicles. They come in a range of sizes and materials, with some even featuring vibrators for extra pleasure. They can take anal penetration to a whole new level and are great for partner play or solo.
The ring helps you achieve and maintain an erection, giving you a more intense experience. It’s also a great tool to use when you want to slow down and take your time during oral sex, masturbation, or intercourse. And because it restricts blood flow, your orgasm will be stronger and longer-lasting as well.
Cock rings can be made from soft, stretchy fabrics like neoprene and silicone or firmer materials such as leather or metal. What you choose will be based on your preference – some people like wide, stretchy rings, while others prefer more narrow or solid ones. Then there are those with bonus attachments that offer anal, clitoral, or vaginal stimulation. Some of them can be operated by remote control for added excitement and fun.
When choosing your cock ring, consider the diameter size that’s best for you – but don’t go too big. A ring that’s too tight could cause painful swelling. And if you’re new to using cock rings, it’s best to start with a flexible material so you can experiment and find the right fit.
Another factor to keep in mind is how long you’ll be wearing your ring. You don’t want to wear it for more than 30 minutes at a time or you may experience discomfort, pain, or an injury. Lastly, it’s important to talk with your doctor before using a cock ring if you have a medical condition that makes it difficult to maintain an erection, or if you’re taking blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder.
Some anecdotal evidence claims that cock rings help prevent premature ejaculation (PE), which is when you ejaculate before you want to. But it’s unclear how effective they are at doing so, and PE can still happen with a cock ring.
If you do get a cock ring stuck-which is very rare, but it can happen-use plenty of lube and try to slowly retreat from the ring by removing one testicle at a time. If you’re not able to get it loose, don’t panic and don’t try to cut it off yourself. Instead, head to the emergency room so an experienced professional can get it out for you.
