Men who have used cock rings among other sex toys for men know that they work. They know that once they’ve slipped their testicles and shaft through that sterling silver cock ring that they’ll maintain the rock hard erection to come for longer periods than they’d ever be able to manage with the cock ring.
Of course, as men, we’re driven to know how stuff works, but Modern Marvels hasn’t done their special on cock rings yet. So, how do cock rings work, anyway?
Here it helps to understand the physiology of the erection. Arteries carry blood into the penis, into balloon like tubes of tissue called the corpus cavernosa, and the blood circulates out through the veins. When a man becomes sexually aroused, the arteries leading into the penis open wide, allowing blood to rush into the shaft and inflate the corpus cavernosa, while the veins constrict. Voila, monsieur, here’s your hard-on.
Here’s where the cock ring comes in. The cock ring fits snugly around your scrotum and shaft, further restricting the blood flow through the veins. This means that you’ve got the maximum engorgement of the corpus cavernosa (translated: you can’t get much harder than this), and the restriction of blood flow through the veins means that your erection is going to last a good long time.
Is this safe? If you’re using common sense, yes. Don’t wear a cock ring for more than forty minutes at a time. Those Viagra disclaimers of grave danger during an hours-long erection aren’t a joke. The technical term is priapism and should you wind up with one of those hard-ons from Hell, you’re risking vascular damage, permanent impotence, and possible gangrene.
Okay, enough of the scary stuff. As long as you use your cock ring according to the manufacturer’s instructions, you’ll enjoy massive erections and you’ll have staying power like you never believed possible. Whether you’re a sexually healthy guy or whether you’ve had problems with ED, the cock ring provides a tried and true way of maintaining a strong erection that’s sure to excite and delight your partner.
