Cockrings Guide
Description
Cock ring or cockring is a ring that is placed around a man's penis, usually at the base, primarily to slow the leakage of blood from the erect penile tissue, to help maintain erection for longer. Cock rings can be worn around just the penis or penis and scrotum, or just the scrotum alone, usually referred to as a testicle cuff. Rings can be made of a variety of different materials, most commonly leather, rubber, silicone, nylon and metal are used.
A man may wear a cock ring because he has erectile dysfunction (ED) or otherwise wants to prolong erection, as a sex toy because he likes the particular sensation of tightness and extreme engorgement that wearing one provides, or as jewellery, simply for the appearance. When used for ED, a vacuum pump is used to produce an erection in spite of vascular or nerve damage, and the ring slid off the pump's cylinder onto the base of the penis to maintain the erection.
Some cockrings include a protruding clitoral stimulator, designed to tickle the clitoris, vulva or anus during sex. Others, such as the Vibrating ring, either vibrating the ring itself or the variant using two removable bullet vibrators to provide stimulation to the testicles and clitoris. Some cock rings have vibrators attached which can be worn to stimulate the scrotum or perineum or a partner during sexual intercourse. Other variations are an inflatable cock ring for added control of adjustment, also Electro rings for added sensations
A triple cock ring or triple crown is a cock ring that has additional rings for restraining the testicles. In orgasm, the testicles usually retract towards the body before ejaculation. A triple crown changes and intensifies the sensation of orgasm by forcing the testicles to stay away from the body.
Elastic, stretchy, cock rings are removed by stretching them and pulling them off the penis, over the head, which can be difficult. Others have a quick-release mechanism allowing them to be easily removed without the need to do this. Some (not for ED) are designed to allow limited blood return, such as by hard beads which cause the ring to roll back and forth during use, increasing circulation.
Cock rings that are too tight, or worn for too long can be dangerous !
