An Introduction to Cock Rings
Cock rings are great for prolonging ejaculation and enabling the penis to retain extra rigidity. This is because they restrict blood flow to the penis, resulting in harder and longer erections. Some cock rings resemble large rubber bands, but are in fact carefully designed not to entirely stop blood flow, just restrict it in a comfortable way – so never use a rubber band as a cock ring! Others are fitted with vibrators and specifically designed to bring pleasure to both partners during penetration.
We never recommend using metal constriction rings as they can cause penile strangulation. Although rare, penile strangulation requires urgent treatment as loss of blood flow to the organ can lead to serious complications and in severe cases necessitate amputation.
Cock rings come in a variety of shapes and styles, making them versatile toys that are also a really simple way to improving your sexual pleasure. While the obvious benefit of using a cock ring is the lengthen your sex play sessions, cock rings can enhance your intimacy and pleasure for both partners.
When it comes to pleasing yourself and your lover at the same time, cock rings are a must. These powerful devices not only provide sexually satisfying experience for both of you but can also add considerable length and girth to the penis due to the restriction of blood flow, so ideal for those who worry that their penis is lacking in size.
Please note that rings are unsuitable for those suffering from heart disorders and should not be worn for more than 30 minutes.

Added benefits for penis owners
As mentioned above, the fact that cock rings prolong an erection mean that people can enjoy the pleasurable sensations of sex for longer. Lengthy sex play sessions are also going to increase the likelihood of a partner with a vulva to achieve an orgasm, as often they take a lot longer to become fully aroused than men.
For many people, seeing their partner enjoying sex play can be an even bigger turn on, so using cock rings can make sex play even more gratifying.
