Many sex toys are used purely for sexual purposes. These uses carry with them several benefits which will mostly improve your sex life. Cock rings have a couple of extra ones though, as they can help with some medical conditions.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is an inability to fully maintain an erection. It can be caused by many different things. The most common cause will be some kind of problem with the blood flow into the penis.
A cock ring can help massively with erectile dysfunction. By restricting the blood vessels around the edge of the penis, the amount of blood leaving the penis is slowed. This means that even if your body has difficulty getting the blood to the penis quick enough, you should still be able to maintain an erection.
Some cases of erectile dysfunction are caused by psychological disorders like stress or anxiety. While the cock ring will not help with these physically, just wearing one may be enough. Knowing that you aren’t trying to beat your demons without help can relax you. This means that the cock ring might help you to maintain erection without actually doing much physically.
Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is another penile disorder which can affect men’s performance and confidence in the bedroom. It is when a man reaches orgasm very quickly. This makes it very difficult for him to satisfy his partner, as most of the time the penis will become flaccid after orgasm.
A cock ring also restricts the vas deferens. This is the tube which carries ejaculate out of the body. For some men this slows down their orgasms, and for others it may restrict them completely.
A cock ring can also be worn around the testicles. When a man orgasms, the testicles usually pull inwards and upwards. The cock ring restricts this motion, which can further inhibit the man’s ability to orgasm.
Cock rings can be a little hit or miss with premature ejaculation. For many men they make parts of the penis much more sensitive. This can have the unintended side effect of making you orgasm faster, not slower. Whether or not they are able to help with your premature ejaculation is a personal thing you’ll have to try yourself.
Do Cock Rings Have Any Health Benefits?
Aside from specific medical conditions which cock rings can help with, there are a few other areas of your health they can impact. The simplest of these benefits are just a better sex life. More satisfying sex often leads to a better overall level of personal health.
More satisfying sex can give benefits such as a stronger immune system, a boosted libido, better bladder control for women, lower blood pressure, lower risk of heart attack, reduces pain like pain killers, lower chance of prostate cancer, improved sleep, and reduced stress.
Sexual Benefits of Cock Rings
A better sexual experience might seem like the most obvious thing any kind of sex toy can do for you. This is no different with a cock ring. Depending on the kind of ring you use, they can bring you all kinds of great feelings in the bedroom.
Cock rings can improve orgasms for some people. While it isn’t a scientific fact that an orgasm will be better or worse, it will definitely be different. As the cock ring can pinch the urethra and restrict the amount of ejaculate that can exit the penis, an orgasm while wearing one can take much longer. This orgasm might last longer but some men find it to be slightly less intense. You may also be able to have multiple orgasms without ejaculating before finally finishing with a regular orgasm.
The extra sensitivity found in the penis while wearing a cock ring can change the things you enjoy doing too. The head in particular tends to become very engorged. This means smaller more targeted stimulation can feel amazing rather than your usual masturbation or foreplay.
The type of cock ring you use can change things up as well. If the ring is rigid, it will put pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, which might be a feeling you don’t normally experience during intercourse or masturbation. Similarly, cock rings with powerful vibrators can provide a ton of extra stimulation for women as well as men.
Some couples even like to include cock rings as part of their BDSM play. There are rings available which act like cages for a penis, surrounding the entire length of it or positioning it in a certain way. Depending on the tightness you may not be able to orgasm while using it, so your pleasure is in the hands of the partner who decides when you can take it off. For the most extreme, there are even rings which have spikes or other attachments to “torture” the penis or testicles.
An often-overlooked benefit can be simply the added confidence. While a cock ring isn’t going to make you better at sex, it can make you feel great. While wearing the ring, you might have a slightly larger erection, and it’s definitely going to feel firmer. The sight of a stronger orgasm can make you feel empowered, so you might be more confident in your own performance during sex.
These benefits are just a selection of some of the things you might experience while wearing a cock ring. The experience is different for different men. The only way to find out what works for you is by picking one up and trying it out.
