Quesiton about Cock rings

Contributor: Adriana Ravenlust Adriana Ravenlust
I am wondering if perhaps I am.. "wrong" about the way we have used cock rings. We've always used very basic silicone/stretchy rings around just his penis or with one around his cock and one around his balls. I had always assumed this was the way it's supposed to be done but, glancing through reviews and the forums it seems like the case should be that cock rings are always meant to be worn around both the penis and scrotum. Or maybe there's simply no protocol for this and it's to each his own?

Helpful topic info on Cock rings:

Long-term effects?
Do penis pumps and clit pumps have any long term harmful side effects? I keep hearing different opinions. Does anyone have the facts?

How do I bring it up "gently"?
So, I've always had fantasies of being handcuffed, tied down to the bed, and completely dominated. My x and I experimented a little with it, nothing...

Tips on pumps
My boyfriend cums very fast when I use the pump on him. How can he stays longer?

Me and my partner have used one just around the base of his penis and also the kind that has a seperate loop for around the scrotum.

I think it depends on how stretchy the ring is and personal preference. I say to each his own!

Actually, there are both kinds. Most cock rings that are constructed of a single ring are meant to be worn around the scrotum and penis both(this does include the metal ones too). There are some exceptions that are designed to only be worn on the penis itself but, it's just really more of a personal preference. Wearing a cock ring that goes around the penis and scrotum cause the scrotum to be constricted and further away from the body causing a delayed ejaculation where as a cock ring around the penis only just constricts the penis keeping blood trapped providing a harder, longer erection but, not necessarily a prolonged ejaculation. That's my personal experience anyway. I hope it helps!

Oggins said it perfectly. Wearing a singular ring so it's behind both the cock and balls is considered the "traditional" way to wear one. There are some that are designed strictly for the penis though- my husband prefers 2 cock rings- one for the cock and one for the balls- but since the Xtreme came along there's been no need... link

It has to be personal preference. My boyfriend won't let me get near his balls. Ever.

I prefer cock rings that go around the penis and the testicles. I thought this was what cock rings were supposed to be. It prolongs sex & makes him much firmer. Another really nice thing, the cock ring isn't on the bottom of his penis bumping into my vagina the entire time. We have a few vibrating cock rings that have a ring for the penis & for the testicles. We also have ones that came advertised as a cock ring that would be dangerous to attempt to include his testicles.

Your boyfriend and I must be related. The Anti-Bride of TSM (and all past Anti-Brides of TSM) have had to accept the fact that TSM's balls are completely off-limits.

I've never used a cock ring of any sort - the notion of acquiescing to any sort of willy/nad bondage is well past my threshold. And is it just me, or does the Bo look kindasorta like a cigar-cutter?

Though I have to say that I am continually amused by how certain religions have made such good use (and money, apparently) from devices like the CB-200/Gates of Hell.

But, you know, I'm a frakking weirdo.

That post made me laugh. Quite a bit.

Now I'm never going to be able to look at the Bo the same again...

Now, I would think being able to feel the cock ring is something good? Otherwise, why put any textures on them at all?

This might me a thread hijack, but how do you measure for a metal ring, soft, hard or both? I'm thinking of getting one and I can't find a definitive answer. Thanks in advance, Tantric.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're supposed to measure the circumference of your equipment, from behind the balls. Then divide by 3.1. to get your size by diameter. Yes, you need a bit of advanced calculus.

Most of my cock rings are smooth. And if there is texture, I usually want it focused on my clitoris. And the cock ring still goes over the top of his penis thus allowing any vibrator to still be positioned by my clit.

@Misanthrope I read that info at a number of sources but I'm still not clear if I am supposed to measure when I'm hard or when I'm soft. If anyone knows feel free to add. Again thanks in advance, Tantric.

Tantric, for a metal ring, I think you'd want to measure both soft and erect, and decide how tight a fit you'd be comfortable. It's also going to depend on how much difference there is between the erect and flaccid states, as you're going to need to put it on while soft.

This might shed a little more light for you: link

We use a ring that goes around his penis and balls. It does make his erection stronger and a stronger, more prolonged climax. I love to the feel of his balls banging vs my vigina. My b/f hates his balls being touched as he climaxes but never says a word about this.
Never used a cock ring with a vibe as yet.
