The Dos and Don’ts of Using a Cock Ring
Keep hearing about how great cock rings are but haven’t decided if you want to try it or not? Unsure about what to do or how to use them? We’ve got you covered! Check out a few dos and don’ts of using cock rings to keep yourself safe and make sure you get the most sexual pleasure out of the experience.
Do Use Lube
Cock rings clamp tight around your shaft but that doesn’t mean friction won’t happen. To make sure you have a comfortable experience — and that it comes off easily when you’re done — use water-based lubricant. Put lube around your shaft or around the inside of the cock ring before you put it on. And yes, slide your cock ring on before you get an erection.
Do Use Cock Rings Alone and with a Partner
Some people think cock rings are only for masturbation. Others think they’re only for penetrative sex with a partner. Both are true. Use a cock ring whenever you want a harder erection and/or a more explosive orgasm. Whenever you use it, you’ll last longer and prolong your pleasure. As with all sex toys, cock rings are designed with pleasure in mind. There’s no single right or wrong time for the fun a cock ring provides. Alone or with a partner, it’s up to you.
Do Use Couples Cock Rings Solo
Couples cock rings vibrate. While you get the squeeze around your shaft, your partner feels the vibration in their clit with each thrust. Yes, it’s a great way to play with a vibrating cock ring, but it’s not the only option. Feel free to use these specific c-rings solo. When you slide the ring down your shaft, turn it around or put it on “upside down.” The vibrator or bullet may hit your testicles or it might even reach down to your perineum. Either way, you get a lot of extra stimulation without needing a partner to help you out.
Do Use Cock Rings with Other Sex Toys
Want to last longer while you use your Fleshlight? Wear a cock ring. Want a bigger orgasm during prostate massage? Wear a cock ring. Not sure you’ll be able to stay erect while you have sex, use a sex toy, or masturbate? Wear a cock ring! While they can be used alone, cock rings pair nicely with nearly any sex toy you have. Alone, they don’t necessarily provide a lot of stimulation. Cock rings are more functional — helping you get and stay hard. They’re the perfect match for any other sex toy you have.
Don’t Buy the Wrong Size
When you pick out a new cock ring, be realistic about the girth of your dick. Too big, and you won’t get the squeeze you’re craving. Too small, and it could get stuck. (It’s rare, but it happens.). Don’t over or underestimate your size thinking that you’ll have a better outcome if you do. In fact, not wearing the right size can make your experience awkward or unpleasant. If you aren’t sure of your correct measurements, use a soft tape measure to find out.
Don’t Wear Your Cock Ring Too Long
While many of the safety concerns for cock rings are blown out of proportion, there are risks to using them — especially if you wear it too long. Once you’ve had an orgasm, you’re done having sex, or your erection is gone, take off your cock ring. Wearing it too long can cause it to get stuck and in rare cases, cause nerve damage in your penis. Yes, penis injuries are a thing and some can happen doing something as simple as falling asleep with a cock ring on.
Don’t Be Afraid of Cock Rings
Some people won’t use a cock ring for fear of cutting of their penis or something equally drastic. They’ve heard the horror stories or they understand the risks involved with restricting the circulation or blood flow. Being cautious is a good thing, but there’s no need to be afraid of cock rings. Buy the right size. Use lube. Take it off when you’re done. These simple steps will keep you safe and help you have a good experience.
Conclusion
Cock rings help people with erectile dysfunction have sex again. They prolong sexual pleasure and enhance everything you feel during sex and masturbation. They’re a fun and simple sex toy for anyone with a penis. But, as with all things, there are some risks if you don’t know what to do or how they work. With a little knowledge and practice, you can experience more pleasure than you ever imagined.
