If you’ve spent your days so far walking past the shelves with cock rings in sex toy stores, you’re adulting in all the wrong ways. So next time, circle back. Your penis will thank you (and so will your partner)!
The magnificent benefits of cock rings
Why use a cock ring, you ask? You don’t have erectile dysfunction, so wearing a cock ring never crossed your mind. Well, good for you, but cock rings can help your sex life in lots of ways. It’s not just the fellas with ED that can make good use of them!
It can make you rock hard (and steady)
Cock rings restrict blood flow and thus trap the blood that’s in the penis shaft. By putting a ring at the base of your penis (or penis and testicles), you’re essentially making your erection harder, stronger, and more permanent. Of course, if it does really become permanent or you start to feel numb, you’ve gone too far! Remove the ring immediately, and if there’s any bruising or swelling (aside from the obvious one), seek medical attention.
You feel on top of the world
Thanks to the sex-positive movement, men have gotten over their squeamishness about using sex toys and sex aids. Enter — dick rings.
Wearing a cock ring arguably makes you better at sex. Hear us out though. We don’t mean that it improves your technique or magically makes you a Casanova. Of course not.
However, given that it increases your erection and helps you last longer in bed, it also boosts your confidence. You know that you can last longer and that you can, for example, prologue clitoral stimulation to ensure your partner climbs all the way to the top of the Pleasure Mountain. That’s a game-changer right there!
Not to mention, when you have a cock ring on (especially if it’s one of those vibrating cock rings), you’re more relaxed and sure of yourself. That will ease some of that performance anxiety we all have.
The joys of edging
They say it’s not the size that matters — it’s the technique. However, how long you last in bed goes hand in hand with your style when it comes to scoring high on the lovers’ chart. So if you’re prone to getting overly excited and shooting your shot too early, cock rings can help. Aside from maintaining an erection, they can also delay your orgasm.
Now, aside from the obvious, why does that matter? Well, the more you wait for it, the harder and more intense it will be. So cock rings are essentially nifty tools that ensure that both you and your partner have a smashing time.
Cock ring sex, be it penetrative sex or not, lasts longer, is more pleasurable for both parties, and will leave you feeling like the king of the world.
How to use a cock ring
Although helpful, penis rings can be a nuisance if you don’t use them correctly. Avoiding accidents or medical emergencies is a must, so here are some general guidelines.
Get the right size
The entire point of a cock ring is that it squeezes you tight enough to restrict blood flow. However, there is such a thing as too tight. You can’t just take the smallest cock ring you can find and jam your naughties into it. If the ring is too tight, it can cause temporary or even permanent damage.
Getting a ring that’s too big has different consequences. It won’t hurt you, which is a positive, but it also won’t help you in any way (which is, of course, a negative). Rings that are too big won’t restrict blood flow, and therefore, when it comes to getting and maintaining an erection, you’ll be on your own. If that’s the case, why even bother with a ring in the first place? The best thing to do is to make sure that you read the store’s sizing guide, and their descriptions like what lovegasm.co website has.
Don’t use it for more than 20 minutes
Even though cock rings are meant to make you last longer, you can’t wear them for a long time. Prolonged use can cause damage in the form of discoloration, bruising, swelling, vessels popping, etc.
Don’t worry; even after you take them off, your erection will still be there. The cock ring can help you get warmed up, so to speak, and get you hard and steady so you can complete the task even after taking it off. Alternatively, you can pop the ring on at half-time to ensure the game doesn’t end too soon.
Manscaping is a must
Penis rings are made from many materials, including silicone and TPE. Now, they won’t give you an involuntary wax job, but we still advise you to manscape. Maintaining a clear playing field will make putting the ring on (and taking it off) much easier.
What’s more, even though it won’t pull out all your hair down there, even one or two pulled hairs from an area as sensitive as that can ruin the mood. So try to avoid that.
A few parting words
Penis rings come in all shapes and sizes. You can get a stretchy one that’s the easiest to put on, a solid one if you’re looking for rigid constriction, or a vibrating one that will make your partner sing with joy. No matter which one you choose, remember the safety guidelines and don’t forget to have fun!
