Autumn's Bondage 101: Beginner's Guide to Cock Rings
Chances are, if you have made it this far then you already have a reason for using a cock ring and the basic knowledge of what they are for. But just in case, let’s first go over some of the main reasons that a person might want to use a cock ring:
- Prolonged pleasure during sex
- To increase the stimulation of sexual interaction
- To increase the girth of the penis
- To add a bit of sadism to the pleasure
The reason that you choose a cock ring doesn’t matter. What is important is that you do so properly to gain the most benefit. That is how this guide will help you.
Safety
No toy or other sexual tool should be used without first making sure that all parties are safe and that no injuries will occur. No one wants to run into the ER and admit that they were harmed during the use of a cock ring. At least no one that I’ve ever known does. So it’s important to remember your safety concerns.
- Make sure that hair is short enough to avoid any potential problems with the cock ring
- Don’t continue to use if it hurts. That should be a no brainer, but many think that pain is part of it. Uncomfortable pressure maybe, but serious pain should be taken seriously.
- Remember that you can get bruised and sore. Avoid materials that will cause this.
- Use for short intervals. Never leave on.
- Only use professionally designed models. Never make your own.
- It’s important.
- Don’t use this if medications are being taken for blood flow problems.
Choosing a Ring
The next step is to decide what type of cock ring that you want. There is a bigger variety of these than there are of many sex toys that are out on the market. You will have to choose based on your personal preference and goals.
Some examples of cock rings include:
You can also choose cock rings that vibrate, silicone cock rings and locking cages with cock rings.
Sizing the Rings
We’ve all heard the saying, size doesn’t matter. And we all know that it isn’t true. Especially when it comes to cock rings. In the case of these devices, size is one of the most important factors.
You have to make sure that the device you choose will fit you both when you are flaccid and when you are erect. It should not cut off circulation and should never be so tight that it causes any serious harm or injury.
One of the best ways to avoid this type of situation is simple. Buy adjustable cock rings. If the device is adjustable then it will not cause a problem by tightening too far when the penis is aroused. It will also be able to change according to anything that might alter penis size from day to day.
Clean and Care
Always, always, always clean your sex toys regardless of who used them or how short the time period may be. You want to keep them free of germs and bacteria, and you want to keep them in a condition that makes them usable in the future. To do this, look for cleaning instructions on the type of device that you have chosen. Often simply wiping down with soap and water will be enough to ensure that they stay in pristine condition. Store them in a place free of dust, dirt and most importantly, nosey eyes.
