Cock Rings - Selection Tips for First Time Buyers

Enhanced sexual performance is the dream of any man. Using a cock ring in an effective way of improving stamina and performance AND increasing sensation and intensifying your own orgasm. Buying one for the first time can be a challenge since the options are numerous and you may not have a precise idea of what you are looking for exactly. Here are some tips to get you started.

Cock Rings and Your Needs

A cock ring needs to fit snuggly over the penis and testicles –full tackle- or just the base of the penis. It needs to create sufficient pressure prevent the blood leaving the penis once you are fully erect. At the same time, it should not squeeze so strongly that is uncomfortable or painful.

That is why it is a good idea to measure the base of your penis when it is in an erected state and consider cock rings with a circumference which is only a bit smaller. As you get more advanced, you can go for a smaller ring. Another option is to go for a stretchy or adjustable cock ring where the circumference can be adjusted.

A thicker band cock ring can be a good option for beginners rather than a narrow band, the cock ring should have smooth edges and be relatively easy to get on and off as you become used to the sensations.

For men who have no difficulty achieving an erection, the cock ring needs to be put on very early on, in the flaccid or semi erect state. With a very flexible cock ring this is not such an issue, however with many styles of cock ring, once erect- it is very difficult to get the cock ring on.

If you are using a silicone cock ring, we recommend using a little lubricant to make it easier to get on and off.

For men who do have difficulty achieving and erection or who have E.D. – erectile dysfunction issues, you can use a penis pump to help you become erect, and then slip the cock ring over the base of the penis and testicles, to maintain the erection.

Flexibility and versatility are other factors to pay attention to when selecting such cock toys. The more flexible the cock ring the easier it is to use and try in different ways. However some of the most effective are styles such as the Tantus Silicone cock ring which has some, but not too much flexibility, it can take a bit of practise to get on however. Many of the new silicone styles of cock rings can apply a similar pressure and sensation to metal but are easier to use and more comfortable for female partners.

Using your Cock Ring

We recommend using your cock ring for no longer than 20 minutes at a time until you become very experienced. If the genital area becomes sore or swollen (other than arousal) then remove the ring and leave for 2-3 days before trying again.

Practising getting the cock ring on and off may be easiest when you have some time alone so you feel confident in a sexual situation with a partner.

You can use a cock ring in many different sexual positions. For men who become aroused very quickly and are concerned about premature ejaculation, an effective (rather than a novelty) cock ring can give you a great deal of freedom to be more sexually adventurous without fear of coming too quickly or losing sensation.

Once you have mastered using a cock ring you can experiment with styles of rings, different materials and size. More experienced users can go for tighter cock rings that increase the intensity. You can also wear a vibrating cock ring over the top of a traditional cock ring to increase sensation and stimulation for you and a partner, and maintain your erection.
