Cock rings are not a new thing; historical archives have traced the existence of cock rings as far back as Ancient Roman times! Nowadays, a quick online search will produce a multitude of options made from a variety of materials- from metal to rubber to glass and everything else in between. Prices can range from the cheap and cheerful to high tech and luxurious so you’ll be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about.

 

Cock rings do have a specific medical purpose; by wearing one around the base of the penis, the blood flow is restricted from the shaft, resulting in a stronger and longer erection. However, frequent recreational users can testify to the earth-shatteringly incredible effects that it can have on sexual intercourse. Reports of prolonged climax, much more sensation during penetration and intense and deep orgasms are just some of touted benefits of this toy.

 

There are four main styles of cock rings:

 

Stretchy ring – these are the most straightforward, cheap and cheerful variety which can be commonly found online. Shaped like a mini stretchy plastic donut usually made of silicone or rubber, these are easy to wear and remove however, they are not adjustable so could be unsuitable if your prefer a looser or tighter fit.

Adjustable ring – equipped with small toggles, snaps or clasps, these rings are also easy to put on or take off with the added benefit of being modifiable to fit a smaller or larger penis.

Vibrating ring – these variations usually include a small vibrating device attached that can be used for self stimulation for the wearer (usually along the shaft or in the peri-anal area) or a device to stimulate the wearer’s partner (such as a clitoral stimulation vibrating bullet).

Solid ring – for the more advanced cock ring users, metal or steel rings can provide a high intensity stimulatory experience but must be used with care!

 

Recent developments have seen a range of high-tech premium cock rings introduced with functions such as paired linked app control via mobile phones, auto heating and even sex performance tracking.

 

With the wide variety to choose from, it is easy to see why men and couples alike are regularly introducing this new addition to spice things up in bed. For the price of a latte, you could potentially experience some of the most earth—shattering orgasms you’ve ever had! And if you don’t find the right one for you at first try, simply try another until you strike it lucky.

 

Despite being worn by men, a cock ring is a surprisingly collaborative toy which can be mutually enjoyed by both parties with many partners enjoying the effects of a penis with a cock ring around it. As with all toys though, care must be taken when wearing and removing the rings and it is not recommended to wear a ring for longer than 30 minutes in order to prevent damage caused by blood restriction to the penis. Otherwise, we wish you happy experimenting!
