We’re here to help you make the right decisions to get the hardest and hottest erections, safely.

1. What is a Cock Ring?

A cock ring is a ring designed to slip on to the male penis in order to produce a harder and stronger erection. These rings are designed to trap the blood flowing into the penis and restrict it from flowing back out. This fills the erectile tissue in your shaft and gives a hot, throbbing hard-on. The surplus of blood results in the penis being harder and bigger.

2. Cock Ring Preparation:

Always lubricate a cock ring before putting it on. This makes the ring easy to put on and also remove. Silicone-based and water based lubes are great to use. Oil based lube can damage condoms. Choose a cock ring that can be removed easily. Some a very stretchy, some have a built-in release like Velcro or a snap fastener.

3. Styles of Cock Rings:

There’s more than one way to put a ring on it.

Balls in

While your penis is still soft, lift up your shaft and slide your balls through the ring. Once your testicles are in, slip your dick through the same hole. They ring should be sitting all the way behind your scrotum. This position will keep the cock ring securely on and hold it further back. This will stay in place and won’t slide off or get in the way of putting on a condom.

Balls out

While your penis is still soft, lift up your shaft, slip the cock ring over the tip of your cock and slide it down to the base of your shaft, in front of your balls. This is the easiest way to put on and wear most cock rings. This can make it harder to roll a condom all the way down to the base of your cock. The cock ring ideally shouldn’t be touching the condom.

4. Fitting and Sizing:

For a cock ring to do its job, it needs to fit properly and match your penis size. Luckily most cock rings are very stretchy and cater to most penis sizes. Once you put on the ring, check that it doesn’t move around freely or fall off. If the ring feels too tight or hurts, you need a bigger size.

5. Types of Cock Rings:

Cock rings come in many different types and styles:

• Rubber / Soft plastic rings are cheap and safe and usually super stretchy. This makes them comfortable to wear. They can break, so it is best to get more than one.• Leather and synthetic straps are adjustable and easy to use. These are a great choice for beginners. Make sure you keep them clean. Wash them with warm soapy water after use.

• Vibrator rings and attachments are readily available from sex shops like The Hot Spot and can add a little something extra to your play session. The vibrating cock rings are very popular among couples, as they provide great erections for the man and are equipped with small powerful vibrating bullets that stimulate the woman’s clitoris.

• Metal, glass, and hard plastic rings are available. They look great, but be aware of the added risks when using them. If a solid cock ring gets stuck, it can be difficult to get off.

6. Order and Setup:

Always aim to put the cock ring on before putting on a condom. Once you have the ring in place, roll the condom on, up to the base of your testicles.

Ideally, the condom and cock ring should not be touching, and it’s not a good idea to put a cock ring on over the top of a condom. This is because the friction between the condom and the cock ring during sex can run the risk of tearing the condom.

7. Look and Feel:

A stiff yet comfortable, long-lasting hard-on is what you’re trying to achieve. If your penis is uncomfortable, or you feel pain, or if your cock turns an unusual colour eg: very pale or very dark, or if it looks unusually swollen, then remove the cock ring immediately. Also if you feel any numbness in your balls or penis, then remove the ring. It is most likely an incorrect size.

Helpful Tip: It’s not a good idea to use other erection enhancers in conjunction with a cock ring.

8. Set a time limit:

Try not to wear a cock ring for no more than half an hour at a time. Once every 24 hours. Wearing them for extended periods may damage the delicate valves and blood vessels in your penis. Any erection that lasts more than four hours or regarded as a medical emergency. If this happens to you it is best to go straight to the emergency room, with or without a cock ring.

Most importantly, never ever go to sleep wearing a cock ring or any other erection enhancing device. Falling asleep with a cock ring on can result in serious damage to your cock and your balls.
