How to Use Cock Rings for Delayed and Intense Orgasms

How to Use Cock Rings for Delayed and Intense Orgasms

Editorial Team |

Cock rings are often referred to as C-rings, penis rings, tension rings, and constriction rings. You've probably seen them before but haven't been brave enough to try one for yourself. Well, here, our experts discuss all about cock rings, more precisely, how to use a cock ring and experience mind-blowing experiences.

What Is a Cock Ring?

The cock ring is a circular band that wraps around the base of the penis and sometimes the scrotum. Its primary role is to restrict the blood flow to the penis, keeping it erect for longer. The cock rings are often made from silicone, rubber, leather, or metal, and these are one of the most user-friendly sex toys for men.

These are excellent for beginners who are just starting with their exploration of the world of sexual pleasure and are perfect aids for people who have performance issues, erectile dysfunction, or suffer from premature ejaculation. There are even penis rings that have little vibrators in them for some added stimuli for the wearer and the receiver.

How to Put on a Cock Ring?

Here is an expert-supported guide on how to put on a cock ring. It is best to put on a c-ring before you start the sexual activity, when the penis is semi-erect, as it is easier and more comfortable, and by the time you'll be ready to perform, you and your penis will be ready.

  • To put on a c-ring, add some lube to the ring and your semi-erect penis, as it will allow things to glide easily, and you can more comfortably fit it around the base of the penis. Make sure there is no pinching and discomfort and nothing pulls the wrong way. The penis ring must fit snugly at the base of the penis for it to work correctly.
  • If you have a penis ring that is also a scrotum ring, then you need to start by putting one testicle through and then the other, and then bend the flaccid penis and put it through the loop, adjusting it as you pull it down towards the base. Don't forget to add lube for easier placement, and make sure nothing pinches or pulls.
  • If your c-ring is adjustable, it is easier to put on, as you can put it in place and then tighten the straps to ensure everything fits snugly.
  • If you are going to wear a condom for sex, you should first put the condom on and then place the c-ring over it, making sure the c-ring does not stick or tear the condom. Please note that you should use lube, and we always recommend that you use quality water-based lube because it works best with silicone and condoms.

Taking a C-ring Off

After you ejaculate and the penis starts to deflate, you can easily remove the c-ring again with the help of some lube. But if it does not want to come off, or you are still erect and feel discomfort, you should remain calm and try one of these things:

  • Add extra lube and try to slide it off.
  • Place a piece of paper between the skin and the ring (if possible) and use surgical scissors to cut the ring.
  • If all else fails, a visit to the emergency room may be necessary.

Why Use a Cock Ring?

The penis rings are known to prolong and intensify sexual arousal in men and keep erections harder and last longer. But our sexual experts also add a list of other benefits of wearing a cock ring:

  • Help with achieving and maintaining an erection – any man who has trouble achieving an erection can benefit from wearing a cock ring, as it helps restrict blood flow to and from the penis, helping the penis stay hard. If you have a form of erectile dysfunction that is related to venous leakage, then a C-ring is a viable solution, as it prevents the blood from draining from the penis.
  • Boost in confidence – if you put too much pressure on performance, it may have adverse psychological effects, and a penis ring may be a perfect solution. You will get a physical barier that will keep your penis harder, but you will also get a size-related booster in confidence, as when you wear a cock ring, your penis looks longer and bigger.
  • Prolong and heightened your orgasm – the penis ring delays ejaculation, which increases the intensity of the orgasm when it occurs. If you wear a cock ring with a scrotum ring, you can also reap the benefits of postponing ejaculation from the restriction of blood flow to the testicles.
  • Improve the experience for your partner – wearing a cock ring can make the sexual experience better for your partner as well, as you can last longer and give them time to enjoy more sensations and achieve an orgasm. You can wear a vibrating cock ring, and you both can enjoy the extra vibrations.

Cock Ring Myths & Truths

We feel we must explain some common myths about using a cock ring, as there are a lot of these floating around on the Internet:

  • Myth: Cock rings are for old guys with erectile dysfunction
  • Truth: Cock rings are for everyone looking to have an erection last longer and experience heightened sensations and sensitivity, as well as adding a new dimension to their sexual playtime.
  • Myth: Cock rings cause penile pain.
  • Truth: If you put on a cock ring correctly, it does not cause pain, but it only limits the blood outflowing from the penis and can cause slight pressure on the skin around the penis. It may take you some time to get accustomed to the sensation of wearing it. It will only cause pain if you don't place it correctly, and if you feel something is not right, you should take it off.
  • Myth: The cock ring will get stuck to your penis.
  • Truth: The penis ring is made from silicone, rubber, leather, or metal, and it can't get stuck to your skin. It may become uncomfortable if you get a model that is too small for you. If that is the case, take it off, or even cut it off and get a properly-fitting model.
  • Myth: The cock ring must be super tight to work.
  • Truth: The cock ring must be tight but comfortable to work correctly; otherwise, it will cause pain and discomfort and ruin your experience.
  • Myth: The cock ring can be used as contraception.
  • Truth: Not at all, as you can't prevent a pregnancy by wearing a cock ring.

Cock Ring Safety Tips

Here we share some safety precautions related to wearing a cock ring, which you should heed to have a satisfying experience and get the expected result:

  • Pick a ring from a stretchy material that is easy to put on and take off. If you are a beginner, then we recommend you pick a silicone or rubber c-ring and leave leather and metal models for more experienced users.
  • Get a model that fits your size; you can measure the circumference of your erect penis and get a model that will fit snugly without being too tight or too loose. You should use the least restrictive size that will keep your penis erect but will not be too tight.
  • Only wear a c-ring for up to 20 minutes at a time, as this is enough time to enjoy some sexual pleasure without risking your health. Because the cock ring obstructs blood flow to and from the penis, anything longer than 20 minutes is too much time and can cause pain, numbness, and injury.
  • Always use lube, as it facilitates putting the penis ring on and taking it off. Lube also allows you to have a pleasurable sexual experience, but please note that too much lube can cause the penis ring to slip.
  • Always put the penis ring while your penis is semi-erect, as it will allow you to properly sit the ring at the base of the penis. You can’t place a c-ring on a flaccid penis, and it is almost impossible to put on a c-ring on a fully erect penis without causing discomfort.
  • We advise you to trim your pubic hair if you plan on wearing a cock ring, as there is a lesser chance of the ring catching and pulling the skin. Also, always wash and sterilize your sex toys, including your penis ring, and store it in a clean, safe bag.

The Bottom Line

Cock rings are fun and exciting to use, and these are a fantastic help for people with ED or performance issues. But please note that any man can try wearing a cock ring and experience the heightened sensations this little bad boy provides.
