I'm ashamed to even have to ask this....lol. But it is the one toy area that I know the least about. There are some things I have always wondered, but never had a place to ask... so here goes:

1. What, exactly, is the purpose of a basic cock ring? Is it only to maintain an erection for a longer time? Is it solely for a purpose? Or for pleasure as well?

2. As far as the vibrating cock rings go, do they actually serve the purpose of a cock ring? Or are they just like, a way to attach a vibrator to a penis?

3. Again, with the vibrating ones, I know that most of the time they are used by couples, but, do men wear these for their personal pleasure? Like, during masturbation?

4. What purpose do the cock rings serve that have a separate section for the balls?

5. I saw the titanium cock rings, and I just don't understand how they would work if they aren't adjustable... can someone explain this to me?

I'm sure I will have more questions, based on the answers, but that is all I can think of right now.

I was interested in trying a cinch type cock ring just like this, but see that is not available for purchase on EF. Is this no longer being produced?...

1. The primary purpose of a cock ring is to prolong and strengthen an erection. How well it works mostly depends on how it fits. Presumably by making this happen there is some pleasure involved, but it is mainly about the keeping that erection, in my opinion.

2. Some vibrating cock rings serve the purpose of a cock ring and some are just a way to attach a vibrator to a penis. Again, it depends on the fit of the ring. If it is too stretchy it isn't going to work well to prolong an erection.

3. I don't think I have ever worn a vibrating cock ring just to pleasure myself, but there is no reason why a guy couldn't. However, making a masturbation session take longer is not usually the point for me, I usually am just going for a release.

4. The testicle ring on cock rings that have them can certainly have an impact on ones erection. It might not be as pronounced as a ring that goes around the shaft or around both, but it still makes a difference.

5. A cock ring that does not stretch can still work as long as it fits well. It can take more effort to get on, and may be more difficult to take off, but the fact that it does not stretch can make it very effective if it is sized well.
