Women get all the fun toys when it comes to sex, or do they? Men have some nifty tools of their own when it comes to wanting a little extra penis stimulation. One of the best known is the penis ring. Of course, the idea of putting a tight circle around your penis can be a little frightening, but no need to worry! It’s more comfortable and much more pleasurable than you think. Here is a quick guide to improving penis stimulation and your sex life with penis rings.
Penis Stimulation 101: What Is a Penis Ring?
Penis rings, also known as cock rings, are rings worn around the base of the penis to restrict blood flow from an erect penis, producing a stronger erection or helping to keep an erection for a more extended period. Some penis rings can be doubled, meaning that they have a ring around the base of the penis and another around the scrotum.
Penis Stimulation 101: Benefits of Penis Rings
Why put a ring on your junk? Well, here’s a few great reasons you may want to consider:
1) They help men get a more powerful erection. It feels bigger and stronger. Penis rings also can add the necessary penis stimulation some men suffering from erectile dysfunction need to produce an erection.
2) They can also intensify and delay orgasm, giving a man more time to please his partner and himself.
3) Give her something to buzz about. Some penis rings have a vibratory add-on that can help a female partner orgasm during sex (since only 15 percent of women can achieve orgasm through penetrative sex alone).
4) They can help keep a condom on. This is great for men who sometimes worry it will slip, which can affect performance.
Penis Stimulation 101: How to Use a Penis Ring
Penis rings are pretty easy to use; just be sure to follow these quick and easy steps.
1) Be picky about fit – There’s a difference between firm and too tight. Be sure the penis ring has a snug fit to keep the blood in the penis longer, but not so tight that it’s uncomfortable or is turning things purple. The best bet for newbies is to start with a stretchy silicone ring.
2) Manscape in advance – Remember how it feels to get arm hair stuck on a rubber band? Extrapolate that discomfort when considering what it would be like in your pubes. For best results, manscape the area to ensure you aren’t snagging anything or feeling the pull of pubic hair.
3) Put it on when totally hard – Don’t put it on when you’re flaccid; the idea is to keep blood in the penis so, ipso facto, you need to be hard for it to be effective.
4) Don’t exceed 20 minutes – Don’t keep a penis ring on longer than 20 minutes. That doesn’t mean your sweaty sex sesh is only going to last 20 minutes or less. You can put a penis ring on at any time, whether that be in the beginning or the middle. Just don’t exceed 20 minutes at a time; it isn’t good for your blood vessels.
Penis Stimulation 101: Penis Ring After-Care
So, you’ve had your fun; now it’s time to clean up and calm down. Remove the ring when the penis has achieved release or is no longer aroused. Urinate to ensure all bacteria and leftover emissions have left the urethra.
Thoroughly clean the ring using anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Rinse well and air dry. When dry, store in a safe place that does not get too much heat or sun, as both can degrade rings made of latex and rubber.
Next, meticulously wash the penis with warm water and a gentle cleanser. Be sure to get every fold and nook. Then rinse well. When done, air dry or pat dry with a clean, soft towel. Never rub the area with a towel, as it can damage the delicate penile skin.
As a final step, use a penis health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) after cleansing to fortify the skin and preserve sensitivity. Penis oils with vitamin C are ideal because they contain collagen, which keeps the skin bouncy and elastic, which is necessary for healthy and happy erections. These oils also should contain other nutrients and vitamins for optimal penis health, wrapped up in a natural base like shea butter, which is deeply hydrating yet doesn’t clog pores or irritate sensitive skin.
