The Benefits of using a Cock Ring

Cock rings are awesome sex-essories for penises that can do far more than just make your cock look good. Whether you want to last longer, give extra pleasure to your partner, or just experiment with something designed specifically for the pleasure of penis owners, a cock ring is the ideal first choice. Let's have a look at some of the awesome big benefits you can get from these amazing little things!

The Hard Facts

Sometime penises just don't do what you need them to do at the right moment and, pun fully intended, that can really put a downer on your playtime. Regardless of the fact that sex doesn't have to have anything to do with a hard penis, if that's the activity you were planning and wanting, and it all flops away, it can totally ruin your night, not to mention your confidence. But don't let that be the end of it! Cock rings can be your saviour. 

Designed to be a tight, snug fit around the base of the shaft of our penis, one of a cock rings primary purposes is to restrict blood flow back down the penis and to make sure it stays harder for longer so you can have a less interrupted play time. Even if you don't have issues with staying erect, adding a cock ring to your penis will make it harder and bigger, and what guy doesn't want that?

Going The Distance

As well as helping maintain erections and giving your penis that hard, sexy, throbbing look, the very same restrictions that stop the blood flow from escaping and making you soft will help you control and sustain yourself from early or premature ejaculation and can allow you to fuck for longer periods of time before finally letting go. Quite often in situations of erectile dysfunction the combination of a penis pump and cock ring is exactly the right mix of non-invasive therapy to make sure everything gets hard and stays hard for as long as you need it to.

Orgasmic Power

And OMG let go you will. When wearing a cock ring, all that restriction and sensation and long-lasting delicious sexy time, can culminate into an explosion of orgasmic pleasure that you may have never experienced before. Some men claim using a cock ring can help them return to erection much fast than usual, and some guys have told me they don't go soft at all, even after they've come, and can keep fucking though that "omg don't touch me" shivery stage many of us (regardless of genitals) feel after we've orgasmed, and can even possibly build up to second orgasms quicker and sometimes almost in succession to the first.

Add Ons and Partner Play

One of the best things about sex positivity and sex toy innovations is the invention of many more exciting and interesting sex toys made for penises. The once basic and humble cock ring really has evolved over the years to be a must-have for most toy drawers. You can get them big or small, thick or thin, double-looped to fit over both cock and balls, and you can also find adjustable ones that can be customised to your very own size and shape, and all of the styles you can find can made out of all different kinds of materials from basic silicone, to leather with studs and even metal and glass styles that can look amazing and sexy and a little bit fetish-y.

But these days some of the most popular styles come in the form of a "ring plus plug" which is an interesting looking item that has a ring for the cock, with a loop around the balls that turns into a butt or prostate plug and, according to the reviews, feedback, and personal comments from years of working in adult shops, these are the bees knees of cock rings.

Cock rings aren't just for the benefit of the wearer either, with heaps of different styles, designs, and concepts aimed for mutual pleasure and simultaneous enjoyment. I mean firstly there's the fact that your cock will be harder, thicker, and longer lasting which is always great for mutual satisfaction, but there's also the tickly, vibrating, buzzy goodness that can come from a ring fitted with a bullet vibrator. From one-shot disposable ones, to whizz-bang rechargeable, multi-function, remote control rings that tease and please your partner as you have sex.

Not A Doctor

While there are absolutely a few different penis and prostate issues that require medical intervention and possible medications or even surgeries, sometimes, before you run off and spend lots of money on consultations and specialists, a cheap and easy cock ring might be all you need to help ease your mind, bring back your confidence, and get you back in the swing of things. And all without having to take a little blue pill or worry yourself sick waiting for test results or invasive exams. Of course if you are really worried about it then please do ask your doctor for their advice because those bits of our bodies are important and we really should look after them as well as they look after us.

    Im sold - thanks Eva ... great article - just yesterday I was let down ... we had a great play and I was as hard as a rock but after about 30 minutes when my friend was ready for me to push it into her bum it just couldnt get there ... it slackened to a semi ! Very disappointing because I was so looking forward to it and so was she - we improvised obviously and we both climaxed but still ... no coconut!
    One thing I wont do is try a metal ring - Ive read of people having to have them cut off their penises as obvioudly the blood flows in and is restricted on the outflow and it just keeps building ....

      I love the feeling the weight of a heavy metal ring adds to my cock, problem is sizing is so critical, just a couple of milimetres makes the difference between it just silding off or becoming a permanent addition. Wish there was a greater range of sizes available to find the perfect fit.

      never tried it - assume the pressure would make you cum quicker rather than last longer ?

    Very informative piece ! I discovered cock rings over two decades ago and have not looked back since. Before that time, I thought it was just another gay paraphernalia and did not look into it. I am amazed it is so ignored by the male population. I have "mingled" with quite a number of men and women over the years and you would not believe the % of men who simply have no idea about cock rings (yet, some could have benefited from them). Guys, just remember to take it off once you have "expressed yourself" :), you do not want prolonged pressure down-there when not necessary.

    I would just like to bang my own drum that I don't go soft after ejaculating like seems to be the norm. I can fuck through 2 or 3 cums.
    In fact, a girl once sucked me off 7 times in a row, and I finally said the words I thought I would never say " please stop sucking my cock"

    Cock rings are A++
    Some play mates have been taken aback by them but the majority have been cool and had fun (metal is goood).
    I like some more intense penile kink, however i would encourage anyone that's curious to give it a go.

    i love the metal ones , and i use the ones that you put your balls through and over the base of your cock ,
    can be a bit tricky getting them on until you get used to it , makes your balls sit up in a lovely position for your partner to suck them , (shaved smooth of course )

    This is very interesting, after reading this on Friday morning, I was due to meet my married friend Friday afternoon and suggested we use one. Wow! It was a big hit for both of us, or though she said after.. the extra girth it gave me gave her a sore jaw haha. But she wasn't complaining either.
    The one I used was basically a rope adjustable wrist band, and the smell that remains on it is a pleasant reminder of the adulterous fun that occurred.
