2008-Jul-29 - How does a cock ring work?
A cock ring is most often used to make an erect penis bigger, harder, for a longer amount of time, and to delay and heighten orgasm. A Cock ring works by reducing the blood flowing out of your penis. Blood flows into the penis closer to the center of the penis and flows back out near the surface. By creating tension around the penis and the testicles, you can keep the blood in the area longer, causing the penis to stay harder longer. 
Men use cock rings with partners and/or by themselves. Some are actual rings as their name suggests, made of metal or rubber. Since these cock rings are not adjustable, the right size needs to be chosen for a proper fit. For example, one that fits too tightly could be hard to remove and could cut off circulation in the penis entirely. Metal rings can cause a rash or other skin reactions in some men, so this is something to consider when shopping around. Adjustable cock rings made of rawhide or leather straps are easier for beginners to use since the fit can be changed, and taking them off is more manageable. Avoid using cock ring substitutes; rubber bands, binder clips, and vices, for example, cause too much constriction.
Cock rings fit over the shaft and the testicles/scrotum when a man is not erect. Ball by ball, the testicles go through, then the penis shaft dives in head first through the remaining ring space. The ideal cock ring stays in place when the penis is soft, yet it can fairly easily slip off or unsnap when the penis is hard. Lube can be added to make putting rings on and taking them off a little easier something that works for finger and toe rings, too.
For safety and pleasure, a cock ring needs to increase the size of the erection only slightly. If you notice more pronounced swelling, then the fit is too tight. In that case, take the cock ring off immediately. It's also vital for men to take off their cock ring at the first sign of pain. In addition, it's dangerous to leave a ring on for too long, including wearing one to sleep when spontaneous erections are all the rage. You also need to pay close attention to your testicles when wearing a cock ring. If your testicles become cold or lose feeling, its time to take the cock ring off and get a little blood circulating. Wouldnt want the old boys to fall off would we!
