Recommend a cock ring

September 29, 2007 4:39 PM

Please recommend a cock ring!

My girlfriend has mentioned that she would like to experiment with me using a cock ring.

I need some recommendations from people who have experience using them. Specifically, she wants to try one that vibrates to stimulate her clit.

Thanks!

Good Vibrations offers recommendations. (I don't have personal experience with their recommendations, and I don't know how objective they are, because they do sell these things.)

Durex makes an inexpensive disposable device you might try, just to experiment. It's not the intensity of a vibrator, but it's something. The integral "power unit" can be positioned above or below your penis, but keeping it in one certain position may require that you limit thrusting motions. They're available in many drugstores, or online.

In the begining, try one with a snaps or velcro. This lets you get used to the sensation and the placement, and still be able to "disengage" at a moments notice.

Oh, I just read the second part of your question. I can recommend this from experience. Although this isn't really going to act as a traditional cock ring. It's "one size fits all", so it isn't going to fit snugly around you. But it's awesome on the other side of the equation. It also has a speed control, which is essential.

I would second the Durex ring. It's cheap, and available at drugstores. Althgough one use only.

Search for rings at come as you are for some ideas.

I've had a good time with rings that have vibrators on the top (clit) and bottom (balls), but my partner isn't so into them (a bit bulky).

I would recommend going out toy shopping with your girlfriend. Rings are pretty cheap, so buying one because you guys think it looks cool won't break the bank. And I find it pretty awesome to sex to shop with my partner, I would recommend it.

We have this one (very similar to the one kimdog linked to) and it's lots of fun. It doesn't really function as a cock ring because the jelly it's made of is very stretchy and therefore doesn't constrict anything, but it's great for adding some clitoral stimulation in positions where there normally isn't much. And yeah, speed control is really good to have.

So basically what kimdog said.

Thirding that what you're looking for isn't really called a cock ring - cock rings are for creating firmer erections and/ or preventing premature ejaculation, made out of rubber, metal or leather with snaps or velcro, whereas vibrating devices fall more into the toy category.

Try The Pleasure Chest - mail order, or in West Hollywood if you're in LA.

The 4-play by Lifestyles was the first disposable one we used. We bought it on a lark after hearing that Arkansas is literally the only Southern state where the sale of these things is legal, so we decided to buy one before Mike Huckabee discovered people were enjoying themselves and put the kibosh on it. I'll admit feeling a little goofy the first time I put it on, but the second I hit the switch, I realized it was the smartest decision I'd made that year.

We liked it so much we got the reusable Omazing Ring.

The disposable model's vibrator was a bit better, I think, but we've been muy happy with the Omazing Ring.
