Cock Rings (How to Use a Cock Ring)

Basic black leather cock ring .

Cock rings (also called penis rings) bind the penis and testicles. This traps blood in the penis, which can result in engorgement, greater sensitivity, and a firmer erection. Cock rings come in many styles, including the basic single strap-style, those that separate the balls, and those that vibrate the clitoris during vaginal intercourse.

To use a cock ring, strap it around the base of the penis and behind the testicles. If you're new to cock rings, look for styles that are easy to remove and adjust. These cock rings can be put on at any time during an erection. Secure the strap as snugly as is comfortable. If you are using a cock ring that is not adjustable, put it on when your penis is flaccid. Hold the ring under your balls and insert your testicles one at a time. Now push the penis through. The only way it will come off is if you lose your erection. We don't recommend the metal rings for cock ring neophytes.

At Babeland, we recommend removing the cock ring after a maximum of 20 minutes. Spending too long with a cock ring on can damage the capillaries and bruise the penis, leaving you sore for a few days. Cock rings aren't recommended for anyone with vascular disease, such as diabetes, or nerve disease. If you experience discomfort, take it off.

The Clitoris and Clitoral Orgasm - Get the Facts from Babeland

The Wahl, a classic vibe your grandmother might've owned, stimulates the clitoris with a focused intensity

The clitoris is the only organ in the human body whose sole function is pleasure. In other words, the clitoris was built for orgasm. The tip of the clitoris is the round nub right above the meeting point of the inner labia. It is protected by a little fold of skin, or hood, which is a good thing, because there are 6,000 to 8,000 nerve endings in the clit, and even a light touch is usually felt rather intensely.

As with the penis, the clitoris is composed of erectile tissue and gets bigger and harder when a woman is turned on. A lot of women prefer their clits touched through the clitoral hood.

The visible nub of the clit, called the glans, is just the tip of the iceberg. The clitoris continues on from the exposed tip, primarily in the form of two clitoral legs which stretch back beneath the labia on either side of the vaginal opening. There are significant areas of erectile tissue, muscles, nerves and blood vessels which are part of the complex organ which responds to sexual tension and resolves in orgasm.

Most women orgasm from stimulation of the clit, but they vary greatly in terms of the stimulation they prefer. Vibrators, with their impressive range of intensities, offer an ideal way to experiment with clitoral stimulation.

For hands-free fun, a butterfly vibrator can't be beat. A butterfly vibrator attaches to leg and waist straps that strategically position the vibe over a woman's clitoris. If you can imagine a G-string or thong underwear with a little vibrator near your clit, you get the idea.

Women like to wear butterfly vibrators for lots of different reasons. Without having to hold the toy in place a woman can use her hands to touch other parts of her or a partner's body. During intercourse, a hands-free vibe can be just the thing if your hands are needed to brace yourself or prop yourself up. And many a woman has discovered the secret thrill of wearing a butterfly vibrator underneath her clothing when she goes out for a night on the town.

This particular style of vibe has been around for years—the original was shaped like a butterfly, hence the name. However in recent years, all kinds of critters and sea creatures have found their way onto these hands-free vibes, so you can choose between dolphins, hummingbirds, and small bears if butterflies are not your thing.

At Babeland we carry several styles, including the Audio-Oh sound-activated butterfly vibrator, and the remote controlled butterfly vibrator.

Quality Butt Plugs from Babeland

Most butt plugs have a distinct diamond shape to facilitate insertion.

Butt plugs are a great way to explore anal sex, either through masturbation or partner sex. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched. All men have prostate glands that can only be reached through the rectum and feel especially good when stimulated. Women's G-spots are easily stimulated indirectly through anal play as well.

A butt plug is particular type of anal toy that is typically diamond-shaped with a thin neck and a flared base, which prevents it from slipping into the rectum. The bulge in the middle helps the butt plug stay in place, so your hands are free to pursue other pleasures. Once the widest point of the toy is past the guardian sphincters, they close around the neck of the plug and voila, the butt plug is plugged.

In addition to the feeling of pressure that many people find pleasing, the anal sphincters reflexively close on the neck of the plug. Finding something there, they reflexively open again, then close. That little pulsing cycle of sphincter clench stimulates the ass, too. If you're new to butt plugs you might want to choose a slimmer toy to start, and work up to those with a bigger bulge. If you're more interested in the in-and-out motion of fucking, you probably want a thin anal dildo rather than a butt plug.
