Love Rings – a ring of love ‘making’

The first documented use of a love ring can be traced back to the ancient Chinese Dynasties, they were made from the eye lid of a goat with the eye lashes still attached, and later in Chinese Dynasties they were made from jade or ivory with jewels encrusted to increase the pressure on the penis. Since the early days, love rings have been around in one form or another, and it was only in the 1960s that the love ring took the form that we know today.

Modern-day love rings, more commonly known as cock rings are erection aids which benefits both you and your partner. They come in many different sizes and materials and with different functions, but do they really do anything?

What does a love ring do?

Love rings work by creating pressure around the erect penis and restricting the flow of blood out of it. The restriction of the blood flow doesn’t mean circulation is cut off, it just adds pressure causing the penis to become harder, and your erection will last longer. The blood flow to the penis is what causes the erection, this works naturally with your body to keep erections lasting longer, and make your penis firmer.

Are love rings just for people with erectile problems?

No, love rings aren’t just for people who experience trouble with erections, but they can be used by people who do have problems to increase the strength of their erection. Love rings are marketed at all men, and the large variety of love rings on the market are a reflection of the different tastes men have, and the different styles of love ring will obviously influence the experience you, and you partner will have. The love ring while enhancing your erection also enhances your orgasms too, by increasing the pressure on the penis making your climax more explosive and intense.

Do love rings hurt?

No, they are designed to maintain pressure around the penis, not stop the circulation. The love ring itself will not hurt when it is on, and obviously you have to buy a ring that will fit you, and obviously a love ring that is too small for you will be no good. If you are new to love rings, then I would suggest going for a jelly love ring or one that is quick releasing and when you are putting them on, and taking them off then use lube for maximum comfort. Here at Pulse and Cocktails, we have a wide selection of love rings for you, the perfect way for you and your partner, to choose what is best for you and speak to our highly trained staff that will help you pick the right one for you.

What benefits does it have for my partner?

There are many different benefits this can have for both you and your partner, firstly your erections will be harder and last longer and also be slightly bigger, they will be able to feel the difference the ring makes to you. Love rings with raised balls on them will stimulate her clitoris as you have sex, but for the ultimate in stimulation you should look for a vibrating love ring.
