Cock rings are among the most popular of sex toys for couples because they offer simultaneous stimulation for both partners.

What are cock rings?

Cock rings are rings that fit around the penis during sex. Their continued squeeze helps maintain an erect penis for an extended sexual encounter.

Who uses cock rings?

While often used along with a penis pump to help with erectile dysfunction, men with no underlying sexual issues also find cock rings pleasing. Some have additional clitoral stimulation for the female partner as well.

What are the different kinds of cock rings?

  1. Basic: Basic rings like the Pearl Beaded Prolong and the Erectus Magna fit over the base of the penis and offer support for a prolonged erection. There is little to no additional stimulation.
  2. Sleeve: Types like the Super Stretch Tickler Sleeves are designed to fit more of the penis shaft. The extra squeeze of the sleeves can lead to more intense male orgasms.
  3. Clitoral stimulators: There are also some that offer clitoral stimulation through rabbit-style attachments on the ring itself. If properly positioned on the clit, these rings can provide intense orgasms for both partners. Some great examples of this style of ring include Screaming O and Berrylicious.
  4. Cock and ball rings: Some rings are designed to both maintain an erection and caress the scrotum. Some great options in this category include the Cock Commander and the Amazing Vibrating Cock Ring.

How to use a cock ring

The key is to make sure the penis is erect prior to placing the ring on. Liberal amounts of toy-safe lube will also help. Many are made of very stretchy material, so do not let the size fool you. They are made to fit just about any penis.

Personal preference

Like all sex toys, many couple have personal preferences in cock rings that are based on how the ring feels on the penis, how much vibration is provided, or how the attachment hits the clit. Which ones have you tried that you liked? I would love to hear from you.

I've been a big fan of cock rings until lately when I tried out the Sapphire enhancing rings and the invisible Adonis Pouch from BetterSex.com. The Sapphire was a great fit and after a while didn't even know it was there. My wife enjoyed the extra girth too as well as the extended playtime. The Adonis pouch is a pretty awesome ring as well. I haven't yet used it for sex play but love it for solo play. It holds you very well and the feeling of something holding you tightly led to some incredible orgasms. Thank you BetterSex.com
