Cock rings are the true unsung heroes of the sex toy world!
Simply wear a ring around your penis (and balls, if you wish) and you can enjoy stronger erections, more intense sensations, and even feel bigger.
That’s a lot for a small ring.
So, if you are a cock ring newbie and looking for the right way to wear one, then you are in the right place.
We will go through:
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Cock Ring
1. Find your perfect cock ring
The first, and perhaps most important, step on your journey to cock ring mastery? Choose the right ring for your penis!
Here are some key things to consider when looking for a cock ring:
- Shape – There are so many types of cock rings, so you have plenty to choose from. Some are thinner, round cock rings that can be easier to use, while others are thicker and can provide more constriction. There are also vibrating penis rings They even come with rabbit ears for additional stimulation of your partner’s clitoris, or even cock rings with multiple loops for the penis and testicles.
- Materials – The material the cock ring is made of will affect how it feels and how it works. The most common cock ring material is probably TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or another soft plastic, which can provide a lot of elasticity to the cock ring. Silicone cock rings are another great option as they are easier to clean and maintain, but have less elasticity. Metal cock rings are the firmest of the bunch and are only recommended if you are quite experienced.
2. Crop there
I’m a big proponent of wearing your pubic hair however you want. However, it is an unavoidable fact that wearing cock rings and having long pubic hair simply do not mix.
Trying to put on or take off a cock ring with long pubic hair can lead to a lot of uncomfortable tugging and even tearing. Getting a hair or two caught while wearing it can be a mood-killing level of pain.
That doesn’t mean you have to go all Brazilian: simply trim the hair in the areas where you’ll be wearing the cock ring. If you’re only planning on wearing a cock ring around the glans or head of your penis, then you can get away with it without any trimming!
3. Start with a flaccid or semi-erect penis
It may go without saying, but cock rings need to be tight. That’s why cock rings work.
However, placing a tight cock ring on an erect penis is not particularly comfortable or practical.
Trying to use a cock ring on an already erect penis will mean that the ring will be too tight to slide down the shaft. Additionally, there won’t be enough flexibility to manipulate it to where you want it to be.
Some penis owners prefer to put on a cock ring when they have a semi-penis, rather than a completely flaccid one. This is because there is already some blood in the penis, while a completely soft penis may have difficulty receiving enough blood if it already has a cock ring on.
Experiment and find out what works best for you!
4. Lubricate
Lube is truly your best friend in almost every sexual scenario. Wearing a cock ring is no exception!
Before putting on the cock ring, apply a liberal amount of lubricant to both the penis and the inside of the ring. This will help it slide to where it needs to be. Also don’t be afraid to reapply if necessary.
The lubricant you choose depends on the type of cock ring you are using. In general, we like to recommend using a water-based lubricant such as liquid H2O with your sex toys: he is the least likely to react to your toys or your body.
Silicone-based lubricants may last longer, but they can damage silicone sex toys, and oil-based lubricants cannot be used if you use latex condoms. For more information, see our ultimate guide to lubricants!
5. Put on the cock ring
We’re finally here: the main event…
Putting on a cock ring isn’t difficult, but it may take a couple of tries to master the technique. And the technique you use will depend on where you want to use your cock ring.
If the cock ring goes on the shaft, in front of the balls, then all you have to do is place it on the end of your lubricated penis. So, gently slide it down until it reaches the base and feels comfortably tight.
If you have a cock and ball ring that sits behind your balls, then you should take a different approach. Start with gently pushing a testicle through the ring and then the other. So, bend your penis pointing downwards through the ring and push it in slowly until the ring sits comfortably around your penis and balls.
Another important thing to remember is to put on the cock ring. before putting on a condom. This will prevent you from accidentally breaking or damaging it. You can also consider using the ring behind the balls to give the condom enough room.
Our favorite sex positions with cock rings
Now that you have the cock ring on, it’s time to put it to the test!
Here are some of our expert-recommended sex positions to get the most out of your cock ring…
Missionary
Some of the best sex positions to use when wearing a cock ring are, unsurprisingly, those that allow for maximum contact with the ring. This is especially true when using a cock ring that vibrates or has textures intended to stimulate the clitoris or perineum.
Missionary positions are an easy introduction to penetrative sex with a cock ring. The closeness of the two of you will mean that the ring will have great contact with the clitoris, as well as creating incredible feelings of connection as a couple.
cowgirl
The positions where the recipient sits and rides the cock ring wearer are equally good for getting up close and personal with all the right sweet spots.
The “regular” cowgirl (or cowboy) ride, where the rider faces his partner, is fantastic for clitoral contact, as well as that much-needed eye contact. However, riding in reverse, where the rider faces the other way, can also be a great way to stimulate the perineum.
If you find that you are not having enough contact with the cock ring, try having the user sit upright and then ride it while also sitting, further reducing the space between you.
Puppy
Doggy style positions, where the penetrator stands or kneels and the recipient is on all fours facing the same direction, can sometimes be hit or miss when it comes to cock ring stimulation.
However, they can be ideal for stimulating the perineum, which does not always receive the love it deserves.
Get to work
Penetrative sex is certainly not the only way to enjoy a cock ring. If you or your partner prefer to receive some sweet loving on your hands, why not put on a cock ring to enhance the experience?
Choosing to wear a cock ring while being pleasured by your partner’s hands (or your own) can make it last longer and make that sweet release even sweeter.
Creative Ways to Use a Solo Cock Ring
Put it on a dildo
If you or your partner don’t have a penis to fit a cock ring on, fear not! All the amazing benefits of cock ring sex aren’t lost – simply attach one to your favorite dildo and get to work.
You can use the dildo to penetrate yourself or your partner, either alone or by placing it in a strap-on harness, and give them the additional stimulation of the vibrations that travel along the shaft.
You can also use the cock ring alone as an external vibrator for the clitoris, perineum, nipples or any other erogenous zone. You can find interesting dildos. here.
