Cock rings (also called penis rings) bind the penis and testicles. This traps blood in the penis, which can result in engorgement, greater sensitivity, and a firmer erection. Cock rings come in lots of different styles, including the basic single strap-style, those that separate the balls from the shaft, and vibrating cock rings that will vibrate the partner's clitoris during vaginal sex.

Men use cock rings with partners and sometimes even 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 and magnetic cock 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 way too much constriction.

Cock rings are placed over the shaft and the testicles/scrotum when a man is not erect. 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. The flexibility of rubber and other elasticized cock rings allows a greater range of fit for more differently endowed men, but they are not one-size-fits-all.

A cock ring is most often used to make an erect penis harder and bigger, to keep it that way for a longer amount of time, and to delay and heighten orgasm. Cock rings work by constricting blood flow, keeping blood in the shaft of the penis. When a wearer finally does ejaculate, the sensation is more intense, since it took a longer time to come, and because the penis is filled with additional blood.

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. Most health experts recommend removing the cock ring after a maximum of 20 minutes, but it's also vital for men to take off their cock ring at the first sign of pain or if the genitals feel cold. In addition, it's dangerous to leave a ring on for too long, including wearing one to sleep. An erection of several hours can cause blood coagulation in the penis, making it difficult to lose the erection. This is called priapism, and can be severely painful and cause permanent damage to the erectile tissue. If this happens to you, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
