Cock ring
A cock ring (or cockring) is a sex toy that is placed around a man's penis, usually at the base, primarily to slow the leakage of blood from the erect penile tissue, thus allowing him to maintain an erection for a longer period of time. Cock rings can be worn around just the penis or penis and scrotum, or just the scrotum alone, though this is usually designated as a testicle cuff. These can be made of a variety of different materials most commonly leather, rubber, or silicone, though nylon and metal are also used either as the main component or part of the closure. A number of manufacturers are producing very high quality cock rings made from silver and other rare metals to be worn as jewellery.
A man may wear a cock ring because he has erectile difficulties, or because he likes the particular sensation of tightness and extreme engorgement that wearing one provides.
Some models include a protruding clitoral stimulator, designed to tickle the clitoris, vulva or anus during sex. Others vibrate, either vibrating the ring itself, or in a popular 'Dolphin' variant using two removable bullet vibrators to provide stimulation to the testicles and clitoris. Some cock rings have vibrators attached which can be worn to stimulate the scrotum or perineum or a partner during sexual intercourse. Another variation is an inflatable cock ring for added control of adjustment.
A triple cock ring or triple crown is a cock ring that has additional rings for restraining the testicles. In orgasm, the testicles usually retract towards the body before ejaculation. A triple crown changes and intensifies the sensation of orgasm by forcing the testicles to stay away from the body.
Wearing cock rings that are too tight, or worn for too long a period, can be dangerous: this may cause priapism, a medical emergency which, if not treated promptly, can result in severe and permanent damage, including penile gangrene which can result in the destruction of the penis.
In an attempt to mitigate this risk, some commercially-sold cock rings have a quick-release feature designed to allow them to be easily removed during a continued erection.
Sometimes, cock rings are used in conjunction with penis pumps in order to keep increased size from fluid build-up of the pump for longer periods of time.
