One of the more misunderstood sex toys, cock rings have long been thought of as just a tool to achieve and maintain hard-ons with its use peaking in popularity in the wild 1970s. But a lot has changed since the days of fixed sized metal rings – today cock rings comes in a variety of sized and materials and are really an essential buy to any one who has sex.
Scientifically, a cock ring is a device that is placed around a man's penis or around his penis and balls to slow the flow of blood from the erect penile tissue, thus maintaining erection for a longer period of time. Smuttily, a cock ring is a toy to use to plump your johnson and or balls to an impressive size and then fuck or jerk off like crazy. Why have a cute, almost friendly penis when you can have an angry-looking, vein-popping, blood engorged cock?
Now that you see the necessity of owning a cock ring, what kind should you buy? Here’s a rundown of the basic kinds of cock rings:
- Metal Cockring - the classic of cockrings - you squeeze you cock and balls through a ring of inflexible steel. Use did peak in 1981 – ask your father.
- Cock Ties - essentially a rubber rope/string with a tightener - you can squeeze it as tight as you want... or can endure. Great for S/M encounters.
- Rubber/silicone cock rings - They come in different sizes and different flexibility. Best for guys who want the tightness but ease of putting them on.
- Cock Cages - Multi-ring devices that tighten around both your cock and your balls. A bit complicated getting on, but serious stuff when completed.
- Straps - Usually made of leather, they have several adjustable metal snaps - works like a cock tie, but looks a lot more serrious.
- C-Slings - A fixed sized cock ring with a pretruding piece to stimilate your perineum.

DR. JOEL KAPLAN'S SILICONE PROLONG RING
"Great product despite such a simple design. Tough and easy to clean."
DR. JOEL KAPLAN'S ERECTION ENHANCING LASSO
"Simple design but works great - adjustable - Soft elastic feel is comfortable against skin. Only downside is the tubing is hollow so make sure to dry thoroughly."
"All around good product with a 2-for-1 deal."
"The instructions read like Ikea furniture but ones you figure out how to get it on, it's like being cupped by a firm but gentle hand."
"Leather, adjustable with a vibrating bullet you place below your balls. A great sensation is produced which helps when fucking or jerking off - Don't trust the battery's life though. Simple and effective. Purrs my balls to quirt extra jizz. Arousing, but the small batteries don't last long"
"Great multi-purpose cock ring - fits around everything great and the vibrations are an added plus. Most arousing (biggest vibrator), but leather snap strap was uncomfortable"
"Looks flimsy and cheap but works, especially around your dick - around your balls was too damn tight. Disposable and cheap but will work a few times in action."
"Two different cock ties - one for your cock and one for a double whammy - cock and balls and cock - versatile, well-made, simple, effective. Good solid product. Soft elastic feel is comfortable against skin. Only downside is the tubing is hollow so make sure to dry thoroughly."
"Simple, super stretchy. Great to wear two at a time... Not sure about long term life - seems pretty cheaply made. Easiest to use, most comfortable, but not very durable. Best in pairs."
"Back to basics, 1970s era cock ring - metal, inflexible and serious. Difficult to put on. Least comfortable."
"2-for1 doesn't always mean you're getting more for your money."
"Good product with a simple design. Good amount of flex. Easy to clean."
"Really a pain to get on... Needs to be lubed before trying to wear... Seems to be made for a certain sized dick and balls, anything else and there are comfort problems. Required extra lube to get on."
"Thick Rubber cockrings of three varying sized - real basic - a non-nonsense, no frills cock ring."
"Cheaply made - uncomfortable to wear - not enough elasticity - interior knobs are a nice feature. An overall bad experience with a cheap product. The ribbed aspect seemed appealing but once it was on, you could barely feel it."
