Maybe I'm not the right guy to be answering this one because I'm not a big fan of the cock ring. I've used them a couple of times and find them to be more of an annoyance than anything else. I've heard some guys say that they do experience more intense orgasms and that the cock ring makes sex in general feel better and I'm sure they have a point. If you have trouble getting rock hard then the cock ring could be a good solution for you. I'm sure you'll agree that sex feels a lot better and that orgasms are far more intense when you are really hard...I'm generally really hard hence no difference in sensation for me.

Many cock rings also have a vibrator on them which is supposed to stimulate the clit when you are pumping however, my experience with these has been mixed at best. Since everyone has a different shape, it can be difficult to find a cock ring that fits correctly and properly stimulates the clit. I guess if you have an ATF you could experiment with her until you find the right one.

Finally, you have to make sure that you find one with the correct tightness. If its too tight, it will stop blood from entering your penis and cause you to go flaccid while if it's too loose, it won't work as a barrier that keeps the blood in there. To make sure that you aren't cutting off the circulation completely, you can test by making sure that your cock still has a pulse on both sides of the cock ring... If it does, and the blood is still staying in your cock then you've found the right fit. Once again, if you experimented, you could probably find the right sized ring but now I'm sure you'll see why buying one out of a vending machine is probably a waste of time.

I don't mean to be negative about the cock ring it's just that the above mentioned complications coupled with the fact that I have no problems getting rock hard lead me to prefer going without. I'd love to hear input from any of the cock ring lovers out there...

Personally, having to worry about putting on a raincoat is enough for me. If I have to use even more hardware I'd probably just rather stay at home and jerk off. I wonder though, can a cock ring help you last longer?

I agree, I'm not into accessories. I don't even wear a watch so why the hell would I sport a cock ring?

LOL, I suppose if you are having problems keeping it hard and you don't want to use a little blue pill a cock ring might be worth trying. Not for me though.

I pulled the following about cock rings off this page: http://www.penis-enlargement-secrets.com/cock-rings.html?gclid=CJ69td-N_...

According to this guy, a cock ring will increase pleasure for both the man and woman because it makes the cock stay at it's hardest. Another thing he says, which is important to remember, is that you should remove the cock ring before ejaculating as this will increase the pleasure. One last thing he mentions is that the added pressure around the base allows you to last longer. Take it for what it's worth but I might just give it another try:

What is a cock ring?

A cock ring (also referred to as an erection ring or a penis ring) is simply a device worn around the base of the penis shaft during sexual intercourse.

While researching this topic, I was amazed to discover how many different types of cock rings there were! There are literally hundreds of different shapes, styles, materials and colors available for cock rings - so many in fact that it's absolutely mind-boggling.

But ultimately, they all are intended to serve the same general purpose... which leads us to the next question I commonly receive:

What are cock rings for?

This is a good question, considering that most sites and catalogs which sell cock rings are rather vague about the purpose of the cock ring itself.

But here is how a cock ring basically works:

When a man achieves an erection, he places a cock ring around the base of his penis shaft in order to limit amount of blood lost from the penis. As you may know, an erection occurs when the penis fills with blood, so in order to help maintain a full, firm erection, a man can use a cock ring to help hold the blood in the penis. The benefit of this is that it allows a man to retain his full erection during sexual intercourse, providing the maximum amount of pleasure to his partner as well as himself.

A secondary benefit of the cock ring is that the added pressure around the base of the penis shaft helps prolong sex by preventing the man from ejaculating too quickly.

As a result, a man who uses a cock ring will not only be larger and firmer throughout the duration of intercourse, but he will be able to last much longer than usual as well.

Now after reading this you may wonder, is it safe to wear a cock ring?

And if so, does it hurt?

First of all, yes it is perfectly safe to use a quality cock ring. The amount of pressure it applies to the penis shaft does not harm the penis in any way, as it still allows some blood to pass through the penis shaft. Furthermore, most cock rings are very comfortable and do not reduce the pleasures of sex at all; however, it is important that you use a quality cock ring made of a soft, pliable material.

I have been using cock rings for years and I own several different types. Let me tell you, they really do work. I personally enjoy using a cock ring and I find it to be a welcome addition to sex.

Not only does a cock ring help me to last longer, but it definitely keeps me much harder than normal. Plus, as an added bonus, I find that my orgasms are much more forceful and intense when I use a cock ring, which is a great feeling!

Some guys also ask, should I take it off before I ejaculate?

The answer is YES. A cock ring should be removed before you want to ejaculate. I can tell you from personal experience that the sensations you receive after removing a cock ring and letting loose are absolutely incredible. They are some of the most intense and longest-lasting orgasms I have ever experienced.

I realize that a lot of guys may be hesitant to try a cock ring if they've never used one before, just as I was before I tried one for the very first time. But the way I see it, if there exists something that is not only safe and easy to use, but will also make sex that much better, then why not give it a try?

ive played with them before, they put some pressure on the vas and do prolong orgasm, they dont seem to make you last any longer or it was so slight of an effect i didnt notice.

use a pump

I figured that he would say they cost too much. BTW I think you use a cockring after pumping to retain the blood.
I like the ones that go around your cock and balls. I love the sensation, extra firm, but if anything it makes me finish faster.

Believe it or not , I saw a pump for sale at the Salvation Army .

Nasty. I guess now we know why you've been ranting about prices

Hey , what kind of meat does the pope eat ?

Nun?

Correct !!! Hey , ya know guys use great terms do describe sex . Like , I screwed her , I banged her , I knocked her up . What are these guys using ? Power tools ?

Hey , what do you get a 90 year old lady for her birthday present ?

One of my coworkers was trying to buy a used pump from another coworker, now I guess I can Just tell him to look at the thrift store. Just a thought, how is a used pump worse than a used vagina? Both can be washed.

Answer : What do you get a 90 year old lady for her birthday present ? MIKEY , he'll eat anything .

I had a provider one time pull out some toys and put them on the bed and i had never seen a cock ring and asked her what is was and she told me and asked if i wanted to try it but all i could think about was who had that on before me and was it clean.So no i did not try it.

i ask clients to bring sealed toys for use on me.. and there own toys/cock rings for then.. just makes it easier.. i have even gone to the toy store be4 and appt with them and picked toys out.. lots of fun

Right over their heads

I've played with the rings, the lasso style ones work better as they're adjustable, but they can pinch (especially if you're a bit bushy).

Frankly, with a condom, they're not worth it.

I was wondering about the condom also. Wouldn't it get in the way when trying to remove the ring? Sounds like fumbling around could ruin the moment.

They're more of a novelty item than anything else. Like Spanish Fly or Sea Monkeys.

Sea Monkeys? I've seen the ads.... thing they're actually sea horses. But didn't know there was anything sexually related to them.

Sea Monkeys are brine shrimp .

In certain sessions I use this as a punishing/training device to see how long I make my sub/slave hold on so I have a lot of experience with cock rings they are cool & look hot to me...hope that doesn't scare anyone...but it prolongs your orgasm. If you put it on right it's tight maybe even painful. I've made a sub/slave hold for a lengthy amount of time with one on. Not all cock rings work so choose wisely, ask the sales person or read up on them to choose the right one. Leave the cock ring on & just enjoy the ride. Hope that helps.
