Cockrings are products that serve several purposes. The purpose is for circulation. A circulation ring is primarily used in conjunction with a pump. When an individual has E.D. they will use a pump to pull blood into the penis and then put a cockring on the base of the penis. The ring stops the blood from running out of the penis once the pump is removed. Some people will be able to gain erection, but not maintain one. Circulation style rings can also be used in these situations.

The circulation style ring can be found in silicone, rubber, and metal. Regardless of material, the trick to these rings is finding the correct size. The idea of a ring is to prevent blood from running out of the penis, thus maintaining the erection. The ring needs to be small enough to do that, but not so small that it is painful to wear once the erection is achieved.

Here's a quick tip. If you purchases a metal ring, be sure you are positive the ring is not too small for you. The problem is if you gain an erection while wearing a ring that is too small, you will probably have to cut the ring off to remove it. If that ring is made of metal, well…..I hope your good with a pair of bolt cutters.

The second purpose of a cockring is for ejaculation control. These rings have one small ring placed above a second larger ring in a figure eight shape. The penis goes through the smaller ring while the testicles go through the larger ring. They can also come in the form of a large single ring. Which you place both the penis and testicles through the single opening.

With either design the purpose is the same. To prevent semen from traveling from the testicles to the penis. Some men find this to prolong their sexual activities and others just enjoy the pressure the ring creates.

Cockrings can also be considered an accessory. There are designs that feature a vibrating bullet for stimulation.

Some designs have a controller attached to the bullet by a wire and others will have a wireless style. The bullets can be positioned around the penis to accommodate various stimulation points.

They can be worn during intercourse for added stimulation for both men and women. Add stimulation to male masturbation and can be put on dongs and vibrators for a customized feel.
