Have you ever wondered ‘what does a cock ring do?’ Well, you’re certainly not alone! Whether you’re just curious or looking for ways to spice up your intimate moments, cock rings are here to add a little zing to your bedroom escapades!

From enhancing your performance to increasing pleasure, these unassuming toys are more than meets the eye. Below, we dive into the common myths, the benefits of using a cock ring, and how to choose the right one for you!

 

What is a Cock Ring?

 

Cock rings come in all shapes and sizes. In laments terms, however, a cock ring is something a man wears to enhance sexual pleasure. They are shaped like a ring, as the name would suggest, and are worn at the base of the penis. Some cock rings also cover your balls too.

 

What Does a Cock Ring Do?

 

A cock ring is used to enhance pleasure. These toys should be snug (but not tight) around your balls, increasing blood flow to the area. This can enhance your orgasm and make you last longer, among many other benefits too. We’ll come back to this later!

 

Common Myths

 

There are lots of myths circulating the internet around the question ‘what does a cock ring do?’ and who should use them. Well, we’re here to set the record straight once and for all!


Cock rings are ONLY for men with erectile disfunction.

 

One of the most common misconceptions when asking 'what does a cock ring do?' is that they’re only for men with erectile dysfunction. This just simply isn’t true. In fact, many men (and couples!) enjoy using a cock during their intimate moments. We’ll speak more on the benefits of these toys later, but they certainly aren’t just for men with erectile disfunction.


Using a cock ring is painful or uncomfortable.

 

Using a cock ring for the first time might be daunting, but when used correctly, cock rings shouldn’t cause discomfort – unless, of course, this is the end goal! More on this later!


Cock rings make the penis longer permanently.

 

As much as we wish this was true, any enhancements in size caused by a cock ring are, unfortunately, temporary. It’s great while it lasts though!

  

Cock rings are unsafe.

 

When used as directed, cock rings are perfectly safe to use. You should, however, take certain precautions. For example, these toys shouldn’t be worn for longer than 20-30 minutes at a time.


Cock rings are difficult to clean.


Just like any toy, cock rings need cleaning after use. The process, however, is far from difficult. Just grab your favourite toy cleaner, check it’s compatible with the material of your cock ring, and use this in combination with warm water. Always make sure you dry your toys thoroughly after cleaning.

 

The Benefits of Using a Cock Ring

 

Cock rings come with plenty of benefits. Longer-lasting erections and more intense orgasms are the most common reasons people use them, as these toys increase blood flow to the genitals. Alongside this, however, cock rings can also make your penis more sensitive and can enhance the look of your package too. This can help you feel more confident in the bedroom, whilst also making the entire activity even more enjoyable!

Whilst anyone can use a cock ring (as we mentioned earlier), these toys may also help with mild erectile dysfunction. If you suffer from this condition, however, it’s important you speak to a health professional before using one to check it’s right for you.

 

Finding the Right Cock Ring

 

Choosing the right cock ring is the key to a pleasurable experience. First, you need to understand your motivations behind trying one for the first time. There are lots of reasons why men buy cock rings.

If you like to be dominated in the bedroom, remote controlled, vibrating cock rings are perfect for handing over the control to your s/o. Or,  if you would prefer a little temperature play, our Bound to Please cock rings can be submerged in boiling water (or kept in the fridge) for added pain and pleasure.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to make yourself last longer and enhance your orgasm, a regular silicone cock ring is a great option for beginners. You can even get your partner involved with our two-in-one vibrating cock rings too!
