What are cock rings? How to properly use an erection enhancer!

You have probably seen them in every Cupid Boutique adult sex store, you may have even seen them being given out at major sex toy events which you have attended, but those little round donut looking rings are actually a fantastic sex toy! 

Cock rings have a funny name, but there is nothing funny about their purpose! They also go by; erection rings, penis rings, or even penis erection enhancers.

In today’s discussion you will learn what a cock ring is, the many types of cock rings that are offered and how to wear a cock ring or erection enhancer properly for the best sexual pleasure that can be had. 

For the most part, cock rings can be worn by any size of man; they are generally around the same dimensions; however the cock ring materials can differ from TPR, TPE, silicone, metal, rubber or even leather. Also, the cock ring can have features such as being adjustable, boasts vibrations, comes in multiple size packs, and as well connect app compatibility. 

The Purpose of the Cock Ring;

What does a cock ring do? Well the purpose of using a cock ring is pretty simple to understand, there are times where a man wishes to prolong his erection stamina and finish much later during sexual activities then what he is used to. Extending the sensations during wear, a cock ring can provide longer duration, added sensations, and an extremely gratifying ejaculation.

How the cock ring works when it is properly worn (and we will get to that). You can place the chosen cock ring on your half flaccid, half erect penis, slide everything through the stretchy hole and while it is in place, it traps the blood flow within the penis walls. This in turns provides you with a fuller, longer lasting erection so you can reap the benefits of all the pleasure. 

Who wears an erection ring or cock ring for sexual pleasure? Well, I guess in a sense any penis owner can use one. But there are some situations in which a penis owner requires one. For instance, men who have erectile dysfunction and need a helping hand with the erection building or prolonging erection process, use an erection ring to boost his erection performance and enhance his sexual drive at the same time. 

Other times there are couples who love to spice up their sexual intercourse with a little pizzazz, and they decide to invest in a couple's cock ring as a subtle buzzing device. In this case, the penis owner doesn’t necessarily need the cock ring, but it is a fun way to boost play time in the bedroom.  

Cock ring styles for days!

There are many styles of cock rings available through our adult toy store. Cupid Boutique strives to offer many styles, shapes and functions for every type of sexual play, including but not limited to vibrating, non-vibrating cock rings and multi-pleasure cock rings.

So, what is a cock ring? Let’s start off with your basic cock ring which looks a little like a rubber donut. These simple erection rings are very discreet, and easy to use if you are a beginner in cock ring play. They are made of TPE, TPR or silicone materials which is the best option if you require a stretchy material. Yet you can also get a metal version, which is less stretchy and more pressure is applied to the scrotum glands. This style of erection ring is great for temperature plays with hot and cold sensations as well!

These stretchy erection enhancer cock rings may come with other features as well. Such as a multiple sized package which you can go bigger or smaller for heightened pleasures, or you can choose a cock ring ball spreader combo which will also provide scrotum pressure for a truly gratifying ejaculation. And if you want full control over the tightness of the cock ring fit, a lasso cock ring would be a great option.

Weighted erection enhancers are also getting very popular lately, due to the fact they work in multiple ways. Wearing a weighted erection enhancer cock ring will help with strengthening the penile muscles, prolonging erection duration, adding sensations to both the wear’s scrotum and their partner’s counterparts. 

Another fantastic cock ring combination you may have noticed is the anal plug and cock ring combination. These are excellent choices if you are into prostate stimulation, dual stimulation and of course multiple erogenous zone stimulation (e.g.; wearing one during sexual intercourse). 

At last the mighty vibrating cock ring! Now if you really want to boost your sexual play time during love making with a partner, the vibrating cock ring is the best choice. The major difference besides the ring shape is the vibrations that are hidden under the clitoral or scrotum stimulator that protrudes from the cock ring itself. You can choose from a simple single vibration speed, to a multitude of vibration features, depending on the style of vibrating cock ring you pick. 

In the category of vibrating cock rings, you can also find remote controlled cock rings that come with a compatible wireless remote, but also there are cock rings with connect app controls which can be synced to smart phones. These connect app cock rings are great for couples near or far. As they allow you to connect via private code entries and can even flow with your Spotify music lists. 

How to wear a cock ring; 


Here is where we get to the fun stuff. Although lots of packages don’t have instructions for cock rings, it leaves it up to the penis owner’s ideal of how to wear one. There are a striking number of male penis owners that don’t wear the cock ring in a proper fashion. 

Allow me to detail the of how to use a cock ring in the proper way to enhance your erection, to the best of its performance;

Step 1: Take the cock ring out of the package, place your two fingers of each hand inside the ring and give it a little tug, this will show you how stretchy this ring actually is. 

Step 2: Wash your cock ring with toy cleaner and warm water to ensure no debris is there to transfer to your penis skin. Add a subtle amount of water-based lubricant to both penis and cock ring

Step 3: Place your testicles through the ring first, you must be half flaccid, half erect and this should work even easier. Stretch the cock ring up over your penis shaft and tuck it against the base of the penis, in front of your pubic hair zone. 

Step 4: If needed, use two fingers to adjust to comfort, and stroke yourself to grow your erection. Once you have succeeded, let go of the cock ring to experience the true tightness it can provide. 

Step 5: Get down to business! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Do not use a restrictive cock ring for more than 20-30 minutes at a time; this may result in painful or tenderness around the scrotum and penis which can be very uncomfortable and may lead to other issues.

Be sure to get an approximate size of your girth to ensure cock ring is not going to be extremely tight.
