How to Use A Cock Ring
Ahh, cock rings, one of my favorite toys and one of the most popular sex toys in the world. Cock rings are designed to limit blood flowing back out of the shaft of your penis. This makes for a rock-hard erection in, most cases, seconds. They help delay orgasm, which means edging and penetrative sex, even oral sex, can last longer.
In this article, I’m going to go over the benefits of using a cock ring, what cock rings styles are out there, getting one on correctly, and so much more. I’m going to be as thorough as possible and you’ll get some insider tips from a guy who loves having his meat in a cock ring. So, let’s get right into it
How do you pick a cock ring?
Well, the first question I would ask is if you’re new to them or very comfortable with them already. If you’re new to this sex toy, then you’ll want to start with the easiest to use and wear: stretchy silicone cock rings. With the bonus of being so much more malleable than metal or glass cock rings, it's easy to see why these rings are much more beginner friendly.

Color is a personal choice, but the one thing you should know going into this purchase is the wide or girth of your manhood. This will help make sure you’re picking the right size and a good product description will tell you the starter inner dimensions - as it should stretch to wrap around your junk. Some only go around your shaft while others are designed to constrict your balls at the same time. The options are endless!
So, how do I get this thing working?
Like with anything cock related, lube goes a long way! Lube the inside of the ring so it can slip on a lot easier, gliding smoothly over your junk. That will also help you get it in the right place once it’s on so that you can avoid any pinching or hair pulling (that’s if you don’t shave/trim your junk). Make sure that the lube you use won’t degrade the cock ring or the condom you may or may not be using, the last thing you want is for your new favorite toy to quickly break. I’d recommend a classic water-based lube, they’re safe for use with toys and your favorite body parts.

Once your cock ring is wrapped around your manhood it immediately gets to work. By trapping blood in the shaft of your cock you’ll quickly experience a harder, fuller erection.
What’s this about fitting?
Well for starters, if you’re hung a tiny cock ring won’t fit you and, vice versa, if you’re less endowed a big ring might even just fall off. Fit is important, and like I mentioned earlier, knowing the width and girth of your cock will help you pick the right one from the get-go. If you go with a harder material like metal or even stiff PVC, you’ll want to get the ring on while you’re flaccid. Cock and ball rings will be too big over just your shaft, so the key here is to make sure your boys are in, too.
At the end of the day, cock rings come in all shapes and sizes, knowing it’s intended purpose will help you with placing it on your man-meat. From there it’s about finding a position on your junk that’s comfortable for wearing during whatever fun you’re about to get into. I prefer silicone cock rings all around for the simple fact that you can adjust them throughout arousal.
Most cock rings will tell you the recommended time that you should wear them for right on the package, but for me, it comes down to fit. For long wear, you’ll want a cock ring that isn’t as tight because your junk will ache after some time and you’ll want to take it off. And to get a quick, rock-hard erection for a passionate romp on the go, you might be better off with a tighter ring. It’s really your call, but listen to your body, you shouldn’t experience pain while wearing a cock ring.
Cock rings, ball rings, and ass locks oh my!
WTF is an ass lock? Only the best sex toy to wear while topping or getting head. An ass lock is a butt plug combined with a cock ring, it’ll tug at your back door with every stroke or movement, you’ll be instantly hooked! There are a ton of variations of the classic cock rings originally used by the ancient Chinese and even Romans.

A glans ring or cock crown fits just behind the corona of your glans, or in plain terms, it sits behind the head of your cock keeping it plump and full while providing a unique sensation. These are a unique experience as they can really provide a lot of sensation to your cock head. These get me dripping with precum in no time and has my man on his knees ready for his sweet dessert.
Ball rings are really meant for your boys, they tend to be wider or made from heavier materials, this gives your balls a constant tug and ultimately stretches them into low hangers with consistent and prolonged use. Weight ball rings are great to really get your boys to slap his ass as you fuck him, and they give a great bouncing sensation when you’re jerking off.

Cock and ball rings are the ones that fit your whole package, and there are many combinations in between! There are endless unique combos, from ball stretchers that have a tight cock ring to ones designed to sit just behind your cock and balls. I love a simple cock and ball ring because it plumps my cocks and makes my balls feel like they could explode with a huge load, and they often do!
Some will have vibrating functions and others might have extensions that pleasure your perineum (taint). A vibrating cock ring is really a sex-life changing experience. They turn your cock immediately into the ultimate vibrator. Not only do you get to enjoy the powerful sensations of vibrations pulsating through your man-meat, but your partner will also experience all those sensations as they transfer through your shaft.
Cock rings can be used at anytime, anywhere
I love wearing a cock ring all day and having my meat hang after a long day. You can use them when you’re jerking off, edging, or during partner play. There’s seriously no wrong time to add a cock ring to a sexual experience, and even to some other activities!
Try it out solo and it’ll become a habit
With every cock ring you buy, you’ll want to experience it solo while masturbating or riding your favorite dildo. Either way, this gives you the opportunity to see how your new toy feels. You’ll get a sense for the intensity of the ring, whether it’s tight or loose, silicone or metal, this is a crucial step you’ll want to take with realistically any toy you buy, not just cock rings!
It’s good to see how your body will respond to this new toy. It’s also a great time to practice getting it on and off so you don’t fumble around and end up looking not-so-sexy. If you’re a guy looking for a thicker veiny cock, then cock rings are the best solution out there, just make sure you can get it on and off as easily as possible.
A cock ring is going to restrict blood flow, that’s the whole point, but if it’s your first time using one the results can be… rather pronounced. Your cock will look and feel bigger, but it will also turn pinkish or darker as blood gets trapped in the shaft of your cock. It’s only alarming if the color gets to a dark purple and your cock feels cold, you’ll want to immediately remove it if that’s the case.
Generally, things won’t get sketchy in 30 minutes of use, so it’s safe to plan to enjoy your fun in that time frame. I’ve built up my tolerance over time, but I’m not a medical expert, so I can only say that you should do what feels right for your body. You might not be able to wear a cock ring all day, ever, and that’s okay, but you can take advantage of the sexual benefits in the short term!
If you have a sketchy moment you can try the ring on again after things return to normal, this could be just minutes, so there’s no loss to sexy time. Or you can simply remove it for the remainder of your shenanigans.
Wear a cock ring when you’re edging
Cock rings make your erection harder, thicker, and longer lasting, so it’s a given that you should use one when you’re edging. You can experiment with the different sensations provided by different cock rings. Any combination you enjoy is really all it takes to get ready for your next edging session.
Like I said above, I’ve got a high tolerance for cock rings, so something you can work up to is wearing a cock and ball ring around your whole package for all those benefits, and then I wear a ball stretcher to really get my boys bouncing when I masturbate. My man loves watching my balls swinging when I’m jerking out a load for him and cock rings help make the experience last as long as possible.
I’m sure you’re familiar with edging, and so you know that you end up shooting a bigger load. Now picture your load when your climax is already delayed with a cock ring, it’s seriously monstrous. The hottest thing you can really do solo is edging with a cock ring on. With a longer-lasting erection and a fuller, thicker cock, you’ll be stroking your veiny meat for hours. Thanks to added sensitivity you’ll be teasing your cock to a really intense orgasm.
And no one is saying that edging has to be a solo experience.
Using a cock ring with your partner
This is seriously a gift to gay sex. Cock rings help delay orgasm which just means that you can take him to pound town longer than ever before. Flip-fucking for the verse couples out there will be a whole new experience. You two can both wear a cock ring for literally double the benefit, you’ll both have veiny, hard-as-steel cocks. You won’t be able to keep your hands off him.
When my man wears a cock ring, I can feel every vein on his cock as he enters me. It’s just hot as fucking hell. I love feeling the throbbing of his cock as it’s filled with his fiery desire. And when I’m fucking him, I feel the reverse, I get really pronounced veins, so I feel them shift as I enter his hole. Not only do we last longer, but it’s safe to say we’re definitely hornier when we wear them.
Into casual hookups? Who says those have to be quickies? You can keep him begging for cock time after time but outlasting the competition. It’s easy to do with a cock ring, you can really do some damage to a casual fuck with one of these on. He won’t know what he’s in for.
Are there any other benefits?
Well, I feel like I could seriously go on and on about cock… rings, but that wouldn’t be much help to anyone. Wrapping up the keep benefits, though, we can look at how cock rings help you last longer. If you are feeling like you cum too soon, or maybe you’re just looking to prolong pleasure, cock rings delay orgasm while increasing sensitivity.
Cock rings give your junk a new life, by trapping blood flow, your cock reaches its maximum girth. You’ll legitimately experience a fuller thicker cock with pronounced veins that you can enjoy all to yourself or with as many partners as you like. Using a cock ring gives you a rock-hard erection that’s impossible to take your eyes and hands off, and in my relationship, it’s even harder to keep his hungry hole off my junk.
They can help open the doors to discussing other kinks or fantasies you might have. You might find out some hot activities your partner enjoys. The best part about cock rings is that they enhance what you’re already working with. There’s no cold dildos or other lackluster toys, you’re using the fuck-stick you were born with!
