Penis Rings - Everyone's Best Friend

Penis ring, cock ring, erection enhancer, whatever you call them, this is the one sexual tool that will enhance anyone's sexual experience.  While a cock ring is one of the most popular sex toy products we sell, it is also one which can intimidate first time users.  To help set your mind at ease, we offer you what we call Cock Ring 101 with a Q&A by our Manager at Fantasy Gifts.


What does a cock ring do?

It holds the blood flow in the penis.  It is the blood flowing to the capillaries in the penis that makes the man erect.  By holding the blood flow in, the use of a cock ring can increase the girth of the penis and the time of erection.

Why should I as a woman, encourage my man to use a cock ring?

Cock rings give men a thicker, harder, longer lasting erection.  Because it generally takes a woman 20 minutes of foreplay before she is aroused enough to have sex, the erection ring helps to prevent premature ejaculation.

As a man, should I feel threatened if my woman wants me to use a cock ring?

Not at all.  It enhances the sexual experience for both partners.  The purpose of the cock ring is to enhance the sexual experience for both .  It gives him a thicker, longer lasting erection and a more explosive ejaculation.  For her, she reaps the benefit of a longer lasting encounter and a firmer penis.

Does one size fit all?

No, while most rings are flexible jelly or rubber and will naturally expand and constrict to fit most men, in some cases men will need different sizes.  That is why we offer items like the Island Rings, which offers 3 cock rings in different sizes in one package to give him the opportunity to see what fit is the most comfortable for him.

What is a cock ring made of?

Most cock rings are made of  flexible jelly, rubber, silicone to allow for a flexible, firm fit.  Metal cock rings are available for the more experienced cock ring user.  However, we do not recommend them for first time use as there is a danger that you will have a difficult time removing it if you do not have the right size.  Cock rings are also available in leather which will not provide the tightest fit and are not as easy to clean because they are porous.  

How do I put a cock ring on?

A cock ring should go on the base of a flaccid penis.  It should fit snugly and securely but not too tight.  As you become erect, the ring will become increasingly tighter.  It should be placed on immediately prior to intercourse and removed immediately after ejaculation.  A lubricant such as System Jo H2O Water Based Personal Lubricant helps the cock ring to go on more easily.  It also can aid in easy removal, particularly in the case of an erect penis if the man has failed to ejaculate.  A cock ring should not be left on more than 30 minutes because it can cause a drop in blood pressure.

What's the difference between a cock ring and a vibrating cock ring?

Obviously one vibrates, the difference is where the vibration goes and which part of the body is being stimulated.  In the case of a single stimulation vibrating cock ring such as The Clit Flicker with Wireless Stimulator , not only is the woman's clitoris stimulated, but the vibration also transfers to stimulate and arouse the man.  You can also use a single stimulation vibrating cock ring with the vibrator at the base underneath the penis so he can receive penile and testicular stimulation.  If you choose to take it down below the testicles, he also get penile and perineum stimulation.  For a dual stimulation cock ring such as the Triple Orgasm Erection Enhancer, the ring goes at the base of the shaft of the penis and provides two stimulators, one for her to receive clitoral stimulation and one where he can receive penile and testicular stimulation. 

The varieties in vibrating cock rings are endless.  For example, the Dual Clit Flicker offers dual support for him and clitoral stimulation for her.  The 3 Way Double Dolphin provides a TPR penis sleeve for him and dual clitoral stimulators for her.  The MachO Double Cock Ring gives you a cock ring, a testicular ring and a clitoral stimulator.

How else can a cock ring be used?

A cock ring can be used either around the base of the shaft of the penis or, if you buy slightly larger, around the shaft of the penis.  By pulling the testicles though first, you can gently fold a flaccid penis through the opening to pull the testicles away from the body.  This helps to prevent premature ejaculation.

You can also add it to any of your favorite dildos - whether it is glass, jelly or silicone, a vibrating cock ring will add a new dimension to your sex toys!

Can I use it if I'm gay?

Absolutely!  The principle is still the same.  For gay men, the clitoral stimulator would instead vibrate the scrotum.  For lesbians, simply add the cock ring to to your favorite dildo!

How should I clean a cock ring?

Regular soap and water is fine.  Remember, if it has a battery compartment, do not submerge it into water. For easier clean-up , you can also use a specially designed toy cleaner such as Berman Center Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner .  Or we have disposable options such as Screaming O Vibrating Couples Ring.
