Anyone who has done even accidental reasearch on sex toys and masturbation tools knows there’s an abundance of different gadgets available: everything from vanilla masturbation sleeves, to high tech milking machines, and fetish, kink and BDSM accessores. One of the top sex toy searches and favorites of Bateworld members is cockrings.
People have all kinds of questions about cockrings (which are sometimes called c-rings or erection rings), including things like:
- What is a cockring?
- How do cockrings work?
- How should I be using a cockring?
- Which cockring is the best?
We’ve got you covered.
What is a cockring?
While there are tons of misconceptions about c-rings, it’s basically exactly what it sounds like! Cockrings are rings of different materials and structures that fit snugly around the base of the penis to enhance and sustain an erection.
How do cockrings work?
While they may be worn by some as accessories or decoration, some rings are thoughtfully designed to help erections grow harder and last longer than they might without a ring. This is accomplished by the ring’s seating at the base of the penis. This compresses the shaft as the penis becomes naturally engorged, restricting the blood flow out of the penis and resulting in a firm and enduring boner, as long as the ring stays in place.
How should I be using a cockring?
Most advanced users would suggest those just starting out find a stretchable silicone ring that is sized correctly. You want something that won’t become painful while you’re erect, but which can be easily removed if it causes discomfort or once you’ve ejaculated and your erection begins to subside.
Solid rings (such as cockrings made of glass, metal, or wood), can be fun when used correctly. But a wrongly sized ring can grow uncomfortable quickly, and could require medical intervention if it’s not able to be easily removed at home.
As with boners: starting soft is the best way to go.
How To Use a Cock Ring – Pro Guide
If you’re ready to dive into more serious options (penis-specific rings, cock slings, and vibrating cockrings) remember to always read the included instructions for care and use. If the manufacturer has written something down, it’s likely to be pretty important; don’t risk hurting your new toy (or your favorite toy – your penis!) by being careless.
Here are some tips that are universally applicable:
Ensure that the ring fits snugly at the base of your penis. This helps prevent slippage and allows the ring to be effective at restricting blood flow and helping strengthen your erection. If a ring doesn’t fit naturally in the suggested position, it’s likely not the correct size or shape for your body.
With silicone cockrings (whether they’re vibrating cockrings or not), pay close attention to the manufacturer’s suggested lubes. Oil or silicone based lubricants can break down silicone and rubber toys quickly, resulting in unwanted chemicals on your most sensitive areas, and the destruction of your new toy. When in doubt: water based lubes are almost always a safer bet.
Timing is everything: don’t let your new male cockring overstay its welcome. While there is no hard and fast rule about how long is “safe,” it’s likely best not to exceed 30 minutes without a break. Pay attention to how your penis looks and feels while you’re wearing a cockring. Any sign of discomfort or discoloration means its time to let the lizard breathe for a moment. Constant discomfort or discoloration means you may have the wrong size or shape for you. Think about trying something else.
One of the reasons men report loving cockrings is that their erections look and feel bigger and more substantial when they’re ringed. This can be a tempting reason to try and wear them all day long. If you find it comfortable to wear a softer ring for longer periods, by all means: show off that cockring bulge. But remove your cockring immediately if you feel the slightest discomfort and never sleep in a cockring.
Before you put your ring away, remember to wash it gently with warm water and a mild soap (unless not recommended by the manufacturer). Lubes, fluids, and semen can stain or affect some materials if left to dry for an extended period.
Stepping up the game with advanced cockrings
Some folks are happy with simple metal, glass, or silicone models and don’t require any “next level” technology to enjoy a strong and powerful cockring erection. Others may find that a vibrating cockring may be just what the boner ordered and can intensify their bate experience in a whole new way. Vibrating rings can include everything from a simple bullet vibe attached to the underside of the ring, all the way through a bluetooth enabled remote control vibrator.
Putting it all together
All in all, cockrings are easy and fun to use and come with lots of reported benefits. They can help improve your orgasms and sustain longer, harder erections. Rings are great for solo sessions and can be easily incorporated into partner play. Ever tried frotting with a pair of vibrating cockrings to amplify the fun?
Finally, if you are in the market for a starter toy, check out more flexible options made from high grade silicone before you dive into stainless steel or glass rings. Follow the instructions for use and care, and get ready to understand why you’ll never want to go back to a ringless boner.
