Even if you have an active and rewarding sex life, you and your partner may be looking for a way to turn up the heat in bed. Where to begin? Well, I have just the thing for you: it’s the VIBRATING COCK RING! It stretches! It buzzes! It can even mow your lawn! OK, so it can’t mow your lawn. But it can make the penis thicker and firmer while simultaneously satisfying the clitoris and/or scrotum with the attached vibrator, often resulting in house-shaking orgasms for two.

Why Use a Vibrating Cock Ring?

For those new to sex toys or just looking for a quick and simple way to spice things up, the vibrating cock ring (also referred to as a penis ring) is an excellent choice. Here’s why:

Low skill-requirement: applying the vibrating cock ring is no more difficult than pulling on a pair of socks. Simply stretch the ring with your fingers like you would a rubber band (with a finger or two from each hand on the inside of the ring) and pull it over and around the penis and balls. Then, carefully relax the tension, letting the ring slowly contract until it is back to its original size. Now, remove your fingers, and you’re done. Voila!
Worry-free operation: once the vibrating cock ring is in place and turned on, the only thing left to do is have sex. Unlike other vibrators, the vibrating cock ring leaves your hands free to massage, caress, grope, pinch, spank, or whatever else happens when your fingers do the walking.
Easy financing: the price is oh-so-nice for vibrating cock rings, which range anywhere from $10 to $55, with most falling between $16 and $26—perfect for anyone on a budget.

Ok, so now you’re convinced that the vibrating cock ring is right for you. But which one should you choose? Here are some tips to help you pick the right one.

How to Choose a Vibrating Cock Ring

Price: If you are looking to keep your expenses down, then both the Ophoria V-Ring and the Sonic Ring and Vibe are economical choices. At $8 for the basic, the Ophoria V-Ring is the least expensive for a silicone, high quality toy. The vibrator is small, with a charge that should last you a good 40 minutes. If you’d prefer something longer-lasting, the Sonic Ring Kit might be the better choice. Made of super-stretchy jelly material, the cock ring is made to hold a compact Sterling Vibe that operates on just three watch batteries but packs a wallop. Coming in at a mere $20, the Sonic Ring Kit is a low-risk investment that’s sure to rake in pleasing dividends. Also, for a few dollars more, you can try out the similar Petal Ring, with Zippy Vibe, either alone or as part of a great collection for couples, the Come Together Kit.
Elegance: In terms of luxury, it doesn’t get much better than the Bo. Silicone, clean design, easy to use, and rechargeable; plus, it holds a charge for up to 4 hours. It also comes in a gorgeous gift box that is both the charger and storage unit. Or if you like the stylish look of kinky leather, try the snap-adjustable Vibrating Leather Cock Ring.
Intensity: Need balls-to-the-walls vibrations? There’s the Orbit Ring Vibe, which boasts a strong internal vibrator encased in textured jelly material, designed to provide the clitoris with direct, intense sensations. Wired to a pair of AA batteries, the Orbit Ring Vibe is the gold standard by which all other vibrating cock rings are judged. Of course, should you prefer a wireless connection, then you could go for a ride on the Blue Dolphin Vibe. A firmer ring with a soft, quivering nose on either end, the Blue Dolphin Vibe holds two—count ‘em, TWO—small but mighty Zippy vibes. With one end tickling the clit and the other buzzing the balls, everyone’s invited to the pants party.

How to Play with a Vibrating Cock Ring

So, now that you know which ring you want, here are a few tips to maximize your pleasure:

With stretchable rings, the rubbery material can sometimes stick to hair and pull it, particularly when you’re putting on or taking off your ring. To avoid having your pubes yanked, make sure your genitals are well-lubricated.
Dry your hands before putting on the ring. You don’t want to lose your grip and have it snap your penis like a rubber band.
Different positions will net different results with cock rings, so be sure to go at things from more than one angle.
Try rotating the cock ring so that the vibrator is in a new position. This can provide greater stimulation of the perineum and scrotum, which can feel wonderfully intense.
When you're done, remove the batteries from your cock ring. This will ensure that they don’t run down when not in use. Dead batteries can be a real buzz-kill (ouch!).
Remember that while vibrating cock rings are typically designed with a male/female couple in mind, gay and lesbian couples can just as easily enjoy the pleasures these rings have to offer. For gay men, what would stimulate a clitoris will buzz the scrotum just as well. And for lesbian couples, you can double your pleasure by adding a vibrating cock ring to your favorite dildo and turning it into a dual-action vibe.
