There, we said it – cock ring.
The cock ring remains, in our opinion, one of the most underrated couples toys available on the market today. It also appears to be a topic that very few of us want to openly discuss. If it’s about the name, we can completely relate, but rest assured that many have gone before you and as a result have made the cock ring an important part of their sexual existence - for a very good reason.
Having been around since as early as 1200 BC, the first recorded evidence of its use was in China and Ancient Greece. Made from a range of materials like animal skin, jade, bronze and ivory, the intended use was not dissimilar to today’s purpose - to heighten sensation and increase pleasure. Brilliant! Kudos to the cock ring that has survived it all and evolved through the centuries to bring us so much joy today!
So, why is this important to us? The cock ring, placed at the base of the penis, delays ejaculation and due to increased sensation, heightens the intensity of orgasm. Simply put, it makes you harder and keeps you harder for longer. Over and above the basic cock ring (silicone or metal non vibrating ring), there are also a multitude of variations specifically designed for clitoral and/or anal stimulation which makes this a MUST TRY in any relationship and a super sexy and exciting addition to your toybox.
We understand that choosing one can’t be easy, here are our top picks!
