Cock Rings For Erectile Dysfunction

 

Luckily, if you suffer from ED, you can get one of many medical devices or sex toys that help with erections. This article will cover essential details specifically related to cock rings and how they can help treat ED. In addition, we will cover a few other methods that might help you have an erect penis at any point during the day. 

Of all the medical conditions that men can suffer from, few are as distressing and challenging to handle as erectile dysfunction or ED. Not being capable of getting or maintaining an erection can have severe consequences for the man’s self-esteem, as well as both physical and mental health. While said issues are common and usually don’t last too long, they can get severe enough to warrant professional medical advice. Even better news, many sex toys on the market today can assist with ED issues

Erectile Dysfunction Explained

But before we move on to the cock rings themselves, we need to talk about ED in depth. And to talk about treating ED, we must understand how erections work. 

Erections 101

So, how do men get an erection? It all has to do with muscles, blood vessels, and our reaction to external stimuli. 

When a man is aroused, our nerves release certain chemicals that increase the amount of blood that flows into the penis. Each penis consists of two erection chambers called the corpus cavernosum. These chambers are spongy tissue that relaxes and traps the blood inside, making the organ firm. 

When we reach the climax, the muscular tissue contracts, and the blood trapped within flows back into the circulation. Our penis slowly goes flaccid, refilling itself with new blood. 

A flaccid penis will shrink in cold weather and fall asleep more often than not. The shifting size directly results from the balance of blood that enters and exits the corpus cavernosum. And yes, it can retract even if the man feels worried, embarrassed, sad, or depressed. In other words, it’s completely normal. 

ED 101

ED is more common than one might think. Roughly a third of all men globally suffer from ED, be it minor or significant. 

So, how do we diagnose this issue? Well, ED occurs due to one of the following causes:

  • Advanced age of the man (usually above 50)
  • Obesity
  • Cardio-vascular disease
  • Slow blood flow
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Low levels of testosterone
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Various hormone imbalances
  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Heavy use of blood-thinning medications
  • Sleep disorders
  • Drug use
  • Too much alcohol consumption
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Peyronie’s disease
  • Tobacco use
  • Damage to the pelvic area (usually due to injury or surgery)
  • Sexuality problems
  • Relationship problems
  • Misuse of sex toys
  • Lack of exercise or general movement
  • A consequence of cancer treatment.

As you can see, of all the physical and mental health conditions men suffer from, ED seems to have the biggest number of possible origin points. In other words, instead of an ED ring, you might just need to apply a few lifestyle changes. We will cover that a little later in the article. Let’s focus on how a cock ring treats erectile dysfunction.

Stainless Steel Cock Ring

What Is a Cock Ring?

Researching devices that help us maintain an erection and achieve better sex, we might run into several different terms for what is essentially the same tool:

  • Constriction ring
  • Penis ring
  • ED ring
  • Penile ring.

A cock ring is a circular, hollow sexual aid that men place around the base of the penis to keep it hard. There are several types of these rings based on where we put them:

  • Penile rings
  • Penoscrotal rings
  • Testicle rings.

The third type is more or less self-explanatory. We take our ring and strap it around the base of our testicles. As a result, the scrotum will swell up. Not only does it help maintain an erection, but it’s also an excellent way to spice up intimate times. However it’s a good idea to shave off any pubic hair before placing this ring to avoid any discomfort. 

Penile rings, on the other hand, only go around the base of the penis, roughly around the area where the blood flows directly into (and out of) the organ. To be more precise, the ring goes near the exact same place where another organ helps keep the blood inside, a band of fiber called Tunica albuginea. So, if we have trouble with either blood flow or the Tunica itself, the ring will be our best bet of keeping the blood in. 

Finally, there are penoscrotal products. They contain two separate rings joined together. The first ring goes around the base of your penis, and the second ring around the testicles.

Sometimes, people combine cock rings with vacuum erection devices (also known as vacuum pumps) to promote blood flow into the penis. And if done right, this vacuum method can help a man reach powerful orgasms.  

Cock Rings Categorized

Constriction rings come in various shapes and sizes. Still, the most common classification refers to what they’re made of or contain. As such, the most common ones include:

Let’s quickly go over all four of them.

Soft and Stretchy Cock Rings

There are many stretchy silicone sexual aids out there, and cock rings made out of this material seem to be the most common. They are also the cheapest rings money can buy and the easiest to clean and maintain. 

However, they require some getting used to because a tight-fitting ring can permanently injure the user. Even flexible silicone is still firm enough to restrict too much blood flow if it’s a mismatch in size. 

Soft and Stretchy Cock Ring

Adjustable Cock Rings

An adjustable cock ring is an ED device with different fasteners and adjusters. For example, they can contain velcro, a string, or any other flexible material that enables us to properly lock them in place depending on how hard we want to restrict blood flow to our penis. 

Vibrating Cock Rings

A vibrating cock ring, as its name suggests, contains a vibrator tiny enough to stimulate our partner’s clitoris during intercourse. The vibrations might also make the male partner feel good. Still, generally speaking, they are generally viewed as a sex toy for two. All you have to do is manage settings properly and adjust the vibration speed to a level where you both feel comfortable. 

Solid Cock Rings

A solid ED device is there for experienced users who want to try something more challenging. Usually, that involves hard metal rings with no adjustments and no flexibility. However, we generally tend to avoid rings that can harm us, so we strongly recommend using a flexible, soft silicone option unless it’s a medically reviewed item meant for ED treatments.

Other Benefits of Using Penis Rings

Of course, we won’t just use a penis ring if we feel our penis failing and staying flaccid frequently. In fact, there are plenty of other reasons why gentlemen would get a hold of some tension rings and utilize them in the bedroom. So, let’s get over some of the benefits that cock rings bring aside from handling impotence. 

Penis Enhancement

ED rings work wonders when combined with a vacuum erection device. Affixing a penis pump to a member that already has a ring at its base will help maintain an erection and significantly expand the organ. 

Penis pumps on their own come with a host of different medical benefits. According to some peer-reviewed studies, they can help with penile rehabilitation after procedures such as radical prostatectomy. They can also provide lots of psychological satisfaction, giving men with ED a much-needed self-esteem boost. 

Sensitivity

Because of how it swells up and all of the nerve endings, our penis with a cock ring on will be more sensitive than usual. And that is always a plus, no matter if we’re having intercourse, oral sex, or even if we masturbate. Having a ring on might awaken certain sensations we never knew we could feel before. 

Perfect for Both Partners

Women can feel immense satisfaction while having intercourse with a man who has a cock ring. It allows them to feel their partner in different and exciting ways. And as we mentioned earlier, specific rings come with additional vibrators that help stimulate the clitoris. So, depending on the ring, the possibilities can be endless.

More Intense Oral Sex

Oral pleasure is an integral part of any healthy sexual relationship. Utilizing a device that can constrict blood flow and maintain an erection will give the partner more time to pleasure you orally. Furthermore, since your penis is more sensitive with the device on, you’ll enjoy the act in different and exciting ways.

More Intense Handjobs

A typical handjob might not sound as exciting as receiving oral sex or regular intercourse. Still, if done right, it can raise intimacy between partners. That level rises even further if the male partner uses a penile ring. Not only can the other partner satisfy them via regular handjobs, but they can also toy with the ring itself for additional pleasure. 

Improving Anal Intercourse

Partners who enjoy anal intercourse will appreciate the use of cock rings. The device serves two functions here. The first is roughly the same as with any other form of intercourse. It’s there to enhance the penis and make the person on the receiving end feel immense satisfaction.

The second function a cock ring might serve involves penetration. If done well and safely, complete penetration with the ring on can provide a pleasant surprise for the partner. However, we have to stress that both parties consent to this act and that you lubricate your penis and your device before entry.

Additional Options

There are certain intricate cock rings that come with additional accessories, such as butt plugs, anal beads, cock locks, and even double-ended rings with two vibrators attached. These particular additions are meant to stimulate both the penis and the anus, and in some cases, even the prostate. These cock rings are an excellent tool if you like to stimulate both yourself and your partner at the same time. 

Other Methods for Treating Erectile Dysfunction

To enhance sexual performance and maintain erections, people might be tempted to get other ED treatments that don’t involve them trying to use a cock ring. So, what other methods of handling impotence are there, and how safe can they be for us? Here’s a brief list of some of the most popular options. 

ED Medications

Right now, there are certain medications on the market that can help increase blood flow, which is why they’re often marketed as ED drugs. Some of the most popular ones include Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Nearly all of them are FDA-approved, and experts securely process them regularly. But long-term use of even those products can cause issues, so we urge you to talk to your doctor before use. 

Natural Remedies

When we talk about natural remedies, we refer to both certain lifestyle changes and actual substances that we can take. So, let’s quickly go over the consumable remedies first. The most prominent ones we can use right now include:

  • Horny goat weed 
  • Yohimbine
  • Ginseng
  • Ginkgo
  • Dehydroepiandrosterone
  • Propionyl-L-carnitine
  • L-arginine.

The list is relatively brief, but essential nonetheless regarding what lifestyle changes we can make. 

First and foremost, we need to get our bodies in shape. That will entail physical activities, such as running, exercising, jogging, playing sports, hiking, biking, etc. Anything that can get the blood flowing will do the trick.

Next, it’s time to stop the intake of certain substances. To maintain an erection more frequently, we will have to quit smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or eating unhealthy food. Instead, we should focus on getting balanced meals, lots of rest, and drinking plenty of fluids to improve our bloodstream. 

Finally, we must reduce the amount of stress in our lives. The more stressful we are, the less likely we’ll be to get hard and focus on staying hard throughout intercourse. So, if possible, we should frequently engage in activities that relax us and help reduce any feelings of anxiety, panic, and general annoyance. 

Other Sex Toys

Cock rings aren’t the only toys that can stimulate a man enough to help him maintain an erection. In fact, that selection is rather vast, including but not limited to:

  • Penis pumps
  • Penis sleeves
  • Male vibrators
  • Penis extenders
  • Hollow strap-on dildos
  • Prostate massagers
  • Couples’ vibrators.

Penile Implant Surgery

Aesthetic surgery for penis enhancement is incredibly popular, and some men do undergo these procedures in order to treat erectile dysfunction. However, we don’t recommend this approach. While it might help erectile dysfunction, it can also have the exact opposite effect. Furthermore, there are far too many cases of botched surgeries that cause irreversible damage to the groin area.  

Counseling

Ultimately, the problem with ED might not stem from your body but your mind. Taking that into account, it’s a good idea to visit a professional and talk the problem over with them. Sometimes, it’s also wise to have the partner come along. After all, some of the stress preventing an erection could result from relationship-related problems. 

Cock Rings and ED Treatment: A Summary

Erectile dysfunction can be a severe condition with huge adverse effects on a man. That’s why medical devices like cock rings are vital and why we urge our readers to acquire one if necessary. However, as always, we stress that you practice caution when purchasing one such product. Make extra sure that it fits well and doesn’t constrict too much. Your safety must come first, and pleasure will inevitably follow.
