How To Use A Cock Ring
You may have heard about cock rings, also known as penis rings, but do you know how they can improve your sex life? They really can pump up your performance and take your pleasures to a new level.
A cock ring sits at the base of your penis and makes your penis not only bigger but also harder. This with the additional benefit of helping you last longer thus, extra satisfaction for your partner.
Having said that my first attempts at using a cock ring are not great. It just felt strange and uncomfortable. But hey, I was doing it wrong.
So let’s have a look at how to use a cock ring, the right way and you can learn from my mistakes,
What Is A Cock Ring?
Its nothing new, in-fact cock rings were first documented in ancient China. In those days they used the eyelids of goats, with the eyelashes still attached! The eyelid was placed around the base of the penis and it was thought that the lashes would increase pleasure during intercourse.
Lucking, although most cock rings still come from China, the materials that they are made from have changed.
While there may be loads of different styles, made from a wide range of materials, The fundamentals haven’t changed. The basic cock ring still hasn’t changed. It still sits around the base of the penis and makes you harder. You can use it by yourself during masturbation, with your partner but the results are the same, a harder erection, a build-up to an intense orgasm and a longer-lasting erection.
Cock rings now come in all deferent materials such as rubber, silicone, leather, and metal. Not only have the materials changed but so have the designs. Yes, we still have a simple ring but now we have lots of other styles to choose from. You can now choose from triple rings, vibrating cock rings, cock rings with but plugs, with vibrators and cock and ball rings to name a few.

How To Use A Cock Ring
The first thing you want to do is have a quick trim. Getting pubes caught up in your cock ring will make your eyes water.
How To Put On a Cock Ring
Lube helps you slide on the cock ring. As with all sex toys, water-based lubricant is best. You can either apply it to the inside or the ring or directly to your manhood. It makes positioning it easier.
It’s best to put in the cock ring while your penis is still flaccid (not erect). This will make it easier for you to slide it down to the base of your shaft. As you become hard, the ring becomes tighter but it shouldn’t become so tight as to cause discomfort.
On that note, If ever you have issues with the cock ring becoming too tight, applying ice to the penis will help the swelling go down enabling you to take the penis ring off again.
How To Put On A Cock And Ball Ring
A cock and ball ring is a ring that sits around both your penis and testicles and should also be put on whilst flaccid.
The trick is to put your testicles through the ring first, one at a time. Once your testicles are through you can place your penis through it.

Are Penis Rings Safe?
As long as you follow the following, yes they are.
- Make Sure It Fits Properly! It needs to be tight but there should be no feeling of numbness. Cock rings are supposed to restrict blood flow and give you a slightly enlarged look, pronouncing veins and giving the penis a red blush. If you can see visible narrowing of the penis where the cock ring sits or very red or blueish colour to the penis, the cock ring should be removed as it is too tight. For first time users, we would recommend either adjustable cock rings of a set with a range of sizes that are all stretchy.
- Don’t Keep It On For too long. If your penis stays hard for too long, you can cause permanent injury. 20 to 30 mins. Once the blood flow returns to normal, you can go for round 2,3,4….
- Manscaping Is Key. As I have said, pulled hair makes for watering eyes and really spoils the mood when putting on your cock ring.

Mostly made of silicone or rubber, stretchy cock rings are also a good choice for your first cock ring. Both the rubber and silicone are available in either specified sizes or sets of 3 different sized cock rings. Some have different shapes moulded into them to add additional stimulation for the users. Depending on the design they can either be worn on the penis or include the balls.
Double Cock Rings
Double cock rings, as the name implies have 2 linked rings. One to sit over the shaft and the other to sit around the testicles.

There is a wide range of shapes and designs to choose from. Some are disposable and some USB rechargeable. There are even cock rings like the Pivot Cock ring that connects to your cell phone.
Some cock rings can also be worn the other way around to stimulate your perineum instead of her clitoris
This is a simple headline
Made of metal or steel, solid rings are NOT for beginners. You need to be very sure of what size you need as they obviously don’t stretch.
Metal cock rings are worn at the base of the penis and behind the scrotum. The risk with hard rings is that they can be very difficult to remove if you expand beyond the size of the ring and, thereby, increase the risk of tissue damage.
