What Does a Cock Ring Do?
Cock rings are a simple but effective sex aid — Chinese farmers used goat eyelids to boost their penis size and stamina back in the 1600s. Fast-forward to the 21st century and these days cock rings work in a similar way by applying pressure at the base of your shaft and/or balls, but thankfully minus the dead goat.
‘Cock rings are ring-like toys that are designed to go around the penis,’ says Gigi Engle, psychotherapist, sex educator and sextoys.co.uk’s resident expert. ‘Their biggest draw is their ability to make erections stronger and longer as they trap blood in the penis once it’s erect.’
But cock rings are about much more than making your dick look good. ‘For vulva-owners, certain cock rings come with a raised nub (often one that vibrates) which can help with getting that clitoral stimulation the vast majority need in order to orgasm,’ explains Engle. ‘The clitoris has over 10,000 nerve-endings and since it can be difficult to stimulate with penis-in-vagina sex alone, cock rings can help.’
Types of Cock Ring
Cock rings come in all shapes, styles and sizes, so finding the right one for you might take some practice. We recommend that beginners start with the stretchy varieties and work their way down.
Stretchy Cock Rings
These elasticated rings are designed to extend in all directions, ensuring a snug fit. Simply widen with your fingers before placing at the base of your penis.
Adjustable Cock Rings
For beginners who aren’t sold on the idea and want the option of a quick exit, this adjustable style — also known as a bolo ring — come with a lasso-style toggle, or a series of poppers.
Vibrating Cock Rings
Typically, these have a vibrating nub (two if you’re lucky) or a removable bullet vibrator on top for added external sensations.
We’d also recommend, if one of you finishes first, using it as a finger vibrator on the other. Just pop it on your digits and get tickling.
Metal Cock Rings
This type of cock ring is typically made from aluminium or stainless steel, offering firm, unwavering sensations. It’s also well-suited to temperature play. Just stick it in the fridge (behind the milk) or in a bowl of warm water before diving in.

Like with any physical activity, using a cock ring does pose a few risks. Think chafing, bruising, and temporarily cutting off your blood flow if you leave the thing on for too long.
But a few (rather basic) precautions should avoid a dong-related disaster.
Tip 1: Lube
A quick reminder that all sexual activity is best served with a side of lube. Start by coating yourself and your sex toys in the stuff before sliding it on.
Tip 2: Time It
Sessions of 20 minutes or less are recommended to avoid causing any lasting damage to the nerves down there.
Obviously setting a stop watch isn’t particularly sexy, but do keep an eye out for any changes in colour or sensation.
