What you need to know about penis rings
For those with both a vagina and a clitoris, the world of sex toys can seem endless: ticklers, suckers, and vibrators. Things that thrust, things that jiggle, things that inflate... and things that do all of those things at the same time!
But there are some ways to level the playing field. Besides the obvious ones, like opening doors (let's see how a vibrator does THAT!), paying attention to small details during conversations, and asking your partner what they want when you're in the bathroom, there are some silicone friends you can use to take your bedroom play to the next level.
So let's talk about cock rings.
What is a penis ring?
Penis rings, also known as cock rings, constriction rings, pleasure rings, and C-rings, are sex toy devices that wrap around the penis (and sometimes the testicles) to prolong erections, delay and intensify orgasm, increase sensation, and help those who have difficulty staying erect.
Some cock rings are simply basic silicone rings, but many include vibrating motors that can be placed against the partner to enhance stimulation. Some include a secondary ring to wrap around the testicles and provide even more sensation, and others include anal or perineal stimulators to further stimulate the wearer.
The science behind constriction
There's science behind cock rings. We all know that erections occur when blood flows to the tissues of the penis. A cock ring simply slows the flow of that blood. that comes out of the penis, which makes it stay there longer. If the blood takes longer to leave the penis, it stays harder for longer.
Wait, is that safe?
Applying lubricant will ensure the ring is comfortable. Limiting ring wear to 30 minutes or less at a time will ensure no damage occurs and that blood can continue to flow normally.
When wearing a cock ring, you should feel slight pressure. This may feel a little unusual or uncomfortable at first, but it shouldn't hurt. If a cock ring causes pain, you should remove it immediately. Chances are, you simply need a ring that's larger and less constricting.
Should I try a penis ring?
Cock rings are a great way to improve your performance in bed. They're not just for those who have trouble maintaining an erection. They can improve your performance regardless of your physique.
Many rings come with vibrating functions that can be placed against your partner's clitoris during sex, turning you into a human vibrator. Especially if you've never experienced the fun of using a toy during sex, a cock ring can be a great way to introduce you and your partner to the world of intimate accessories. They're a simple and effective way to ensure everyone gets a little action in the bedroom.
