8 Ways Cock Rings Improve Gay Sex

Every now and then, you'll hear someone describe something great as "Better than sex."

While it definitely gets the message across, I think the only thing that's better than sex is better sex. If you asked me if I would like a slice of decadent chocolate cake or a wild bang sesh, I'm gonna go with the bang sesh every time. What sort of psychopath would take the cake? It just doesn't add up.

All joking aside, having better sex is something that most people are on board with, whatever their position on chocolate cake happens to be. Which begs the question: How do we make sex better?

The answer to that question has about as many answers as there are people asking it, but there are a few simple ways you can add some razzle-dazzle to your bang-time.

Today we're going to focus on the most simple and effective among them- cock rings.

What Are Cock Rings?

Cock rings are one of the most easy to use sex toys out there. Their simplicity and high return on investment make them one of the best introductory sex toys out there.

Basically, a cock ring is exactly what it sounds like, a ring fort your cock.

They're made either of a stretchy, soft material like silicone or a hard material, such as metal, that is placed around the genitals to inhibit the flow of blood out from the penis while still allowing it to flow in.

That's really it!

Now that you know what a cock ring is, you're probably wondering why they are so great! Here's the lowdown.

1. Better Erections

Better is a pretty vague term, so let me elaborate. As mentioned earlier, cock rings restrict the flow of blood away from the penis while simultaneously allowing it to flow in.

The blood that stays trapped in the blood vessels of your penis makes your dick actually larger than it would otherwise be without the help of the ring.

Aside from making your wang bigger, it also makes it harder than it would otherwise be.

The main reason guys love cock rings is because it is an easy way to achieve harder, larger erections without using drugs or other riskier methods to get the job done.

2. Longer-Lasting Erections

In addition to better quality erections, cock rings also promote longer-lasting erections and can even help guys who have trouble achieving an erection in the first place.

An erection is nothing more than blood rushing to the penis and staying trapped there to create stiffness in the tissues of the penis. Considering what we already know about cock rings and their ability to keep blood from flowing away from the penis, the benefits should be pretty obvious.

You get hard, you stay hard until you take the ring off.

They can also be used to improve overall erectile function by training your penis so that it readjusts to the idea of being erect after suffering from erectile dysfunction issues. For instance, some guys suffer from a condition known as "venous leakage."

This is a condition in which the blood vessels of the penis are able to fill with blood properly but are unable to retain it due to a physical issue. This is one of many great examples of how cock rings can improve erectile function.

3. Battle Of The Bulge

There is a saying among chefs that the first bite is taken with the eye. Which is to say, you're more likely to want to try something that looks good and is presented well.

The principle can be applied to your dick.

Everyone likes the look of a nice bulge in a guy's pants, but not everyone's dick presents well. This is where an adjustable cock ring can do wonders.

A lot of what makes a good bulge is dependent on arrangement more than actual size. You may have noticed that well-cut underwear tends to bundle up your boys pretty neatly in a little package, causing a more attractive bulge in your pants.

Well, you can actually achieve the same effect with better results by throwing on an adjustable cock ring and bundling up your meat and veg into an attractive bulge.

It's kind of like a push-up bra for your juicy dangler.

Be careful, though. As a general rule, you shouldn't wear a properly fitted cock ring for more than a half-hour.

The trick here is to only tighten the adjustable ring enough to get the "bundling effect" without actually constricting blood flow. Bundle it up tight enough to look good, but not tight enough to be dangerous.

I find the best ring for pulling off this trick is Dr. Hann's Famous Erection Ring because the soft surgical tubing is comfortable and stretchy for extended wear and it can easily be fitted around the balls and shaft loosely enough to be safe, but tightly enough to create a nicely bundled bulge.

4. Slappa Slappa Slappa

You know that feeling you get when your some hunky motherfucker is drilling away at your back-end and his balls keep slappin' up against your booty? I don't know about you, but that is one of my favorite things in life.

That bundling effect is good for more than simple presentation. Worn properly, a cock ring can really put the "clap" into "clapping cheeks" by keeping those balls bundled together so they get a better, more fulfilling slap as your man gets after it.

If you like the way your partner's balls feel slapping against your biz or you like having your balls slap against someone else's biz, cock rings are essential!

5. Better Orgasms

If you're talking about better sex, having better orgasms is a huge piece of the pie.

You might be wondering, "How can having a tight ring around my dick make my orgasms any better?".

Well, I'm glad I pretended you asked!

As you start to approach orgasm, there are several physical cues that signal the arrival of the big moment. One of these is that your testicles contract a bit as the moment of inevitability approaches.

Wearing a cock ring around your balls causes resistance to this contraction which prolongs the moment of orgasm and creates a subtle edging effect that will bring tears to your eyes and a smile to your face.

6. Increased Sensation

In addition to making orgasms feel better, cock rings also make sex more pleasurable by increasing physical sensitivity in your junk.

All that extra blood that collects in your hog carries oxygen with it. The increased levels of oxygen have a super-charging effect on the nerves in your genitals that increases sensation.

In addition to the extra blood, the skin of your penis is stretched more than it would be without a ring on.

This stretching effect causes the nerve endings in your skin to be more exposed, creating even more of an increase in pleasurable sensation. Increased pleasure equals better sex.

7. Some Of Them Vibrate!

If the only thing better than sex is better sex and the easiest way to make sex better is a cock ring, the only thing better than cock rings would be better cock rings.

That's just science, right there. That's where vibrating cock rings come into play!

Vibrating cock rings add extra oomph for everyone involved. Get one powerful enough, and you can pretty much turn your wang into a vibrator.

As good as it feels to have a top hit your P-spot, having a top hit your P-spot with vibration is a whole other world of delight.

The vibration also feels great for the guy wearing the ring for obvious reasons. That extra buzz while you're sliding in and out can really put the finishing touches on an already stellar bang session.

Everyone's toy drawer should have at least one vibrating cock ring- no excuses!
