Over the coming weeks and months we’ll be putting together brief introductions to and outlines of some of the more popular types of sex toy- starting with the cock ring.
Cock rings are predominantly designed to be worn at the very base of the penis and simultaneously facilitate blood flow into the penis and restrict the flow outward. By doing so, a cock ring (or erection ring) can provide more rigid erections: it also desensitises the wearer slightly to improve performance and duration of orgasm. Many cock rings also feature additions such as bullet vibrators and clitoral stimulators which provide extra pleasure to the female’s clitoris or to the wearer’s testicles or perineum when worn during intercourse. Cock rings are incredibly good value and a great introduction to the world of male sex toys.
Cock rings come in all manner of shapes, styles and sizes in order to appeal to different preferences, fetishes and desired effects. The following are examples of the different types available from BeKinky:

There’s also an awful lot to be said about the incredible sensation for the woman from the textured, vibrating clitoral stimulator and the vibrations through the shaft of the penis are equally enjoyable for the man too.
Cock rings and variations on cock rings are also very popular in the BDSM community. There are a huge variety of leather, PVC, rubber and metal cock rings and cages available which range from standard cock rings featuring clasps through to restrictive cages and chastity devices. As a starting point it is advisable to stay with a more conventional cock ring initially. The Vibrating Space Shuttle features a vibrating bullet attached to three leather straps for the shaft of the penis and one which restricts the testicles. This form of cock cage both stimulates bloodflow and serves an aesthetic purpose.
In addition to the cock rings noted above, there are a whole host of other ‘gentleman’s jewellery’ items available; from the luxury, rechargeable Bo from sex toy maestros LELO through to disposable flashing latex rings available for around £1: which is best for you is purely a matter of taste and budget: so get trying!
Cock Ring Safety
Cock rings are for the most part entirely safe to use provided the wearer does not suffer from a heart condition, nor is on blood thinning medication. It is however essential that they are not worn for more than 30 minutes at any given time as this can cut off the bloodflow to penis and cause serious injury. If the penis turns pale or becomes cold to the touch whilst wearing a cock ring; the ring should be removed immediately to prevent genital damage. As long as these simple cautions are heeded and adhered to, a cock ring could revolutionise your sex life!
