A cock ring is a ring worn around the base of the penis or around the penis and testicles. Its primary function is to restrict the flow of blood out of the erect penis, which helps maintain a harder and longer-lasting erection. This restriction of blood flow can also make the penis swell slightly, enhancing girth and sensation. Cock rings are used both as a sexual enhancement device and sometimes as a medical aid for erectile dysfunction (ED), often used with a vacuum pump to help maintain the erection. Additionally, cock rings may help delay ejaculation, potentially increasing sexual stamina, and some models provide vibration for added stimulation to both partners during intercourse.
