An Introduction To Buying Cock Rings

On the surface, cock rings are pretty simple devices designed to maintain an erection by keeping more blood in the penis longer. They can be very effective and are generally safe to use, with one caveat. If wearing it turns your dick purple or it hurts, it's too tight. Take it off now!

The traditional cock rings are either a solid ring that has to be sized for a proper fit, or a stretchy variation that's more versatile. This type of ring's normally worn around the base of the penis itself, but with a bit of effort and proper sizing you might be able to fit it around the cock and balls. The stretchy rings will work well for this, though some guys don't think they're restrictive enough; you'll have to work this out for yourself. Personally, I think they work well but it's up to you.

There's another variation known as the cock cage - there are a few versions of this that can get a bit difficult to describe so you'll need to go check them out. So, now you've got even more options to consider!

For versatility, adjustable cock rings may be what you want. There are a variety of adjustment styles available. Some of these look like tiny bolo ties, others are strips of leather that close with either snaps or velcro.

If you're a generous kind of guy, vibrating cock rings are a great way to increase the pleasure. They can be very simple, with a one-speed bullet, or you can go high tech with multi-speed controllers and varying vibration patterns.

A single vibe can be positioned to stimulate the clit or perineum, while a 2-vibe ring (one above the ring and one below) will give your balls half the vibrations - so it's a great idea for both of you!

The penetrating ring is the next logical step in ring design for couples. Typically this is to make double penetration possible, but there are also designs intended to provide anal stimulation for the man wearing it.

If you want to go 'high end' with either the traditional or vibrating rings, a wide variety of luxurious models are available for the gentleman who has everything else.

Remember that finding just the right cock rings will be a process of elimination. Once you've found a few that work for you, you'll be happy to have them!
