How to use a cock ring

Many men find that, as they get older, their erection becomes less firm and doesn’t last as long. Using a cock ring during sex can be a solution. A cock ring isn’t only meant for men with erection problems. It can also be worn to increase the sensitivity of the penis, for extra stimulation or as jewellery. Curious? In this blog you can find out everything you need to know about cock rings!

What is a cock ring?

A cock ring is a ring that’s slid around the penis and sometimes testicles as well. As the ring is quite tight, blood can be pumped to the penis, but it doesn’t flow back or it flows back less quickly. This results in a harder, longer-lasting erection.

A cock ring can also help delay an orgasm to prevent premature ejaculation. There are several cock rings that you can use as sex toys, such as a vibrating cock ring that provides stimulation to both the penis and the clitoris. And an ass lock that provides anal and prostate stimulation.

Using a cock ring in combination with a penis pump

A cock ring is often used in combination with a penis pump. Using a penis pump with a cock ring ensures that the erection lasts even longer. Just like a cock ring, a penis pump also ensures that the blood in the corpora cavernosa cannot flow away. Place the ring around the penis before applying the penis pump.

What’s the best way to use a cock ring?

A cock ring can be worn in many different ways. Placing the ring in front of the scrotum is the most common. However, some men like to place the ring behind the scrotum, against the body.

In front of the scrotum

When you want to place a cock ring on the shaft of the penis, you may want to apply some lubricant to the inside of the ring. Slide the cock ring around the flaccid penis. If you’re using an adjustable, flexible cock ring, the ring can also be slid around a hard penis. Slide it up to the base of the penis, against the pubic hair. The ring pulls itself tight when the erection sets in. It’s supposed to feel tight, but it should always be comfortable. After ejaculation, the penis will become flaccid again, and the ring can be easily slipped off.

Behind the scrotum

We also recommend applying lubricant on the inside of the ring when placing it behind the scrotum. Then slide the ring over each ball. Do the same with the penis. It’s important that the penis is flaccid, so that you can ‘stuff it in’. Hold the scrotum and penis and pull the ring tight towards your body. If you want to take off the cock ring, follow these steps in reverse.

Experiment and explore what brings you the most pleasure. You can also try using different rings at the same time, for example wearing one ring around the scrotum and another at the base of the penis. Another option is to place the cock ring directly behind the glans. This will keep the glans hard, and your partner will feel the penis more intensely.

How do I choose the right-sized cock ring?

Choosing the right size for your cock ring is very important. You don’t want to lose any feeling in your penis, and it’s also important that a cock ring doesn’t slip off during an intense sex session. To determine which size is best for you, you can use the following step-by-step guide:

1. First, make sure that your penis is hard.
2. Use a piece of string or shoelace to measure the circumference of the penis, at the spot where you want to wear the cock ring. Don’t pull too tight but wrap it loosely around it.
3. Place the string or shoelace along a ruler to measure the length, this is the circumference of the penis.
4. Divide the circumference by π (pi). If your calculator doesn’t have this button, you can also divide the circumference by 3.14.
5. This is the right size. All you have to do now is decide what kind of cock ring you want!

What types of cock rings are out there?

Cock rings come in different shapes, sizes and colours. Which cock ring suits you best has partly to do with taste, but also with what want to achieve with it. We’ve outlined the different models for you below.

Vibrating cock ring

A vibrating cock ring not only ensures that his erection lasts longer, it also brings her pleasure. This is because the ring is equipped with a vibrating bullet that vibrates against the clitoris during penetration. Some versions also have ridges or nubs that provide extra pleasure when they vibrate.

Metal cock ring

A metal cock ring is often used as a piece of jewellery for men who want to give their penis something extra. The beautiful metal provides a nice touch thanks to its shine. In addition, there are many cock rings in this category that are suitable for bondage and SM. For example, some models have an eyelet to which you can attach a chain or rope. Rings with a penis plug or pins that stick into the penis are also an option.

Rubber and silicone cock ring

Rubber and silicone cock rings are easy to put on and take off due to their flexibility. This is why they’re prefect for beginners! Aside from the standard rings, there are also many different kinds of shapes: rings with studs and ridges, but also variations that have a ball stretcher, or multiple rings combined.

Leather cock ring

A leather cock ring has a cool look and is often adjustable with press studs, so it always fits. This makes it suitable for different sizes. You can also wear this type of cock ring both in front of and behind the scrotum. Some leather cock rings have metal loops or rings. This allows you to attach them to ropes or chains, so they’re suitable for bondage as well.

Cock ring sets

If you’ll be using a cock ring for the first time and aren’t quite sure what size you need, a cock ring set can be helpful. A set often contains different sizes, so you can see what works best for you. A cock ring set is also very handy if you’d like to wear multiple rings or want to alternate the position of the rings.

Cock slings

A cock sling is a cock ring and ball stretcher in one. A cock sling makes the genitals stand out more by pushing them forward. The rings cause the penis and scrotum to swell up more and therefore become larger and more sensitive.

Ass locks

If you want to combine a cock ring with something to stimulate the prostate, an ass lock might be for you. This toy consists of a cock ring with an attachment that you insert into the anus. There are different shapes and sizes available, and you can choose from different materials. If you’re just starting out with anal stimulation, a small ball will suffice for intense stimulation. If you’re more used to it, you can choose a larger plug. A slightly curved shape is most suitable for stimulating the prostate.
