Adonis Silicone Rings Caesar - cock ring by Cal Exotics - review by tim1724

This is a penis ring (or "cock ring") which is designed to be worn at the base of the penis to constrain the blood vessels. This makes a man's erection much firmer and can help to prolong an erection as well. When the head of the penis is fully engorged with blood, it can provide heightened sensation which is a nice bonus.

Also, the act of putting on and wearing a cock ring can boost a man's confidence and make him feel more sexy. This ring, with its simple design and attractive color, combined with its very effective functionality, makes me feel much more manly and ready for action, whether for intercourse with my girlfriend or just for my own pleasure.

I also find a cock ring extremely useful when using a masturbation sleeve, as a harder penis is easier to insert into a floppy toy, especially if it has a narrow opening.

Just remember that a cock ring cuts off your blood circulation. Leaving a cock ring on for too long can severely damage your penis. Never use it for more than 30 minutes at a time, and after removing it don't use it again for an hour or so, just to be safe.

This cock ring is made from silicone, which is an excellent material for sex toys. It's non-porous, so it can be sterilized and used safely by multiple people. Also, it has no unpleasant odors and doesn't leach nasty compounds.

In the case of this ring, the silicone material is just the perfect level of stretchiness. It's stretchy enough to fit a range of different penises, but it is firm enough to provide adequate pressure on the shaft of the penis to do its job well. Another advantage of the silicone over other materials is that it is stiff enough that it doesn't tend to roll up when it's used. I've had other cock rings which would roll up and catch on my pubic hair. That can lead to some painful moments when hairs are ripped from the skin. This cock ring doesn't do that, which is a big plus.

I also like the texture of the ring, which I find to be very attractive. The ring has five raised ribs along its length that make it easy to grip, which is very important when it comes time to remove the ring, especially when you have lube on your fingers. These ribs make it almost pentagonal in cross-section. and may also help to prevent it from rolling up and trapping pubic hair. Speaking of cross-section, it measures about 5/8" thick, which I find to be perfect. It's not so thin that it bites into your skin and becomes hard to remove, but it's also no so thick that it reduces the usable length of your penis.

The ring has an inner diameter of 1 1/8 inches, but can stretch pretty easily up to about 1 1/2 inches, so it should fit well on an average-sized penis. Note that most men probably won't be able to wear this around both the penis and scrotum; it's really only stretchy enough to fit around the shaft of the penis. It may be somewhat tight on a particularly girthy penis, but anyone with a penis around average size or below should be fine.

When I first looked at it, I thought it might be a bit large for wearing around the shaft only, as I'm used to somewhat smaller cock rings. But those other rings were made from TPR, elastomer, or jelly and were extremely stretchy, whereas the silicone used in this ring doesn't stretch nearly as much. Therefore, this one provides much firmer pressure on the penis than those stretchier rings do. When I tried it, I found that it actually fits quite well, and I very much enjoy the firm pressure which this ring exerts on my penis. It's actually much more comfortable than most of my other cock rings.

My cock ring is a very vivid red, but it's also available in black. I like this shade of red. I find that it looks more manly than some of the pastel shades that I've seen on some other cock rings.

Silicone is pretty easy to care for. It can be cleaned with soap and water or any sex toy cleaner. If you want to sterilize it (for example, if you want to loan it to someone else) you can boil it for a few minutes or even put it in the top rack of your dishwasher.

In general you should avoid using silicone lubricants with silicone toys. If you insist on using a silicone-based lube, be sure to test just a small drop of the lube on your cock ring to make sure it is compatible. If the lube reacts with the surface of the toy in any way (such as blistering or becoming sticky) then you shouldn't use that lube near your cock ring. If it has no visible reaction, then it might be OK to use, but it's hard to be sure. I haven't tested any silicone lubricants with this cock ring, and I would only recommend using water-based lubes, just to be safe.

The ring is easy to store. It's small, so you could store it almost anywhere. The bright red color makes it stand out, and anyone familiar with cock rings would know what it is, but I suppose someone who isn't knowledgeable about sex toys might not have any idea. I tend to leave mine sitting on my nightstand where it's ready for use at a moment's notice, but you could easily hide it anywhere. It might be best to avoid storing it in contact with other silicone toys, as sometimes silicone toys "melt" together. Also, silicone can attract dust, lint, and hair, so you might want to put it someplace where it won't gather dirt. A quick wash before and after you use it would also be a good idea.

The packaging is very simple and unobtrusive. It comes in an easy-to-open plastic clamshell package, with a simple paper insert. There are no pictures of scantily-clad women or other potentially offensive imagery. There's just some straightforward text describing the toy and the standard medical disclaimers instructing you not to wear it too long. There are no other usage or care instructions, but a cock ring isn't too hard to figure out.

Some cock rings are designed to go around the cock and balls, whereas others are only meant to go around the shaft of the penis. In my opinion this ring is better suited to going around the shaft of the penis only, as it doesn't stretch as much as others. I suppose someone who enjoys a really tight fit might try it around both, but I personally wouldn't.

I find that it doesn't have the immediate effect that some rings have; rather my erection grows stiffer over the course of twenty or thirty seconds. But once it reaches that point, my penis becomes rock-hard, as stiff as it is with any other cock ring. At the same time, it's much more comfortable to wear, as it doesn't dig into my skin too deeply and doesn't grab at my pubic hair. So this is my favorite cock ring now, and I expect to use it quite often. I've been using California Exotics cock rings for years now, because they're cheap and effective, but their older ones were flimsy and wore out fairly quickly. This one seems to be higher quality and I expect that it will last much longer. It seems to be pretty much perfect, at least for me.
