Guys who enjoy the sensation of a cock ring will absolutely love the Cocksling by Tantus.  This silicone marvel gives the same effect as a cock ring, but it adds perineum massage to the equation, which equals double the pleasure in one toy.  I’ve used it and I endorse it for any guy who likes extra excitement during play time.

From Tantus:

“This 100% silicone teardrop style cock-ring taps the taint giving you an external prostate massage while constricting your balls and cock. The silicone is firm yet has elasticity and if lockup occurs (penis engorged and yet you can`t ejaculate) you can easily sacrifice the silicone instead of calling on paramedics and the jaws of life.

Great for using during partner sex. Great for using as a solo toy for masturbation. Made by Tantus the first name in silicone manufacturers.”

Advance Cock Ring

Some of you may recall that I did a review recently on the Beginner Cock Ring by Tantus.  Tantus makes some of the safest and most effective sex toys on the market.  The Beginner was an excellent ring, but the Advance is even more powerful, making your erection stronger and improving the duration of your ejaculation.

From Tantus Inc.:

“Tantus offers three levels of cock ring pleasure which are beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The Advanced Cock Ring is the smallest of the three rings with a diameter of 1 3/4 inches and providing the most intense effect.”

I’ll also point out that this is a silicone cock ring, which means no unwanted chemicals will be near the action.  It is pliable and sturdy simultaneously and in a worst case scenario, it is easy to remove it.  So you get safe, clean and very effective service from this excellent cock ring.

If you’re new to cock rings, get the Beginner.  If you’re a veteran, you’ll love the Advance.  Make your next play session more intense than ever.

This little guy is about as simple a sex toy as you could ask for, but for adding the extra oomph to play time, I have to rank it as a heavyweight.  The Tantus Beginner’s Cock Ring is an awesome addition to the collection.  And this is a great time to discuss how to properly use a cock ring as well.  So I’ll tell you how awesome this one is, but I’ll start with how to use it (you would be amazed at the number of people who ask us how to use a cock ring).

First, because this is a silicone cock ring, it does have some “give” to it, which makes it quite easy to use and unlike metal cock rings, adds a huge safety factor.  I have never had a metal ring crisis, but reading about one once made me realize that for beginners, silicone is the safest bet for cock ring use. 

To wear it, all you have to do is place one testicle inside, and then loop it over your other testicle.  Now the next point is up for personal preference.  I prefer to be semi-flaccid, not hard, but not flaccid either when I pull the cock ring over my penis.  This applies only to silicone rings.  No way can you get a metal ring over an erect penis, without doing some damage somewhere around your jewels.

There is a picture on Wikipedia that shows how a cock ring (albeit metal) fits on a man.

Once on, the erection can – and will – go full.  Nothing for me feels quite as sexy as a gift wrapped erection!  But aesthetics are only a small bit of the fun.  First, the cock ring serves to keep the erection powerful for longer by restricting blood flow.  Don’t get the image of a tourniquet, it isn’t like that!  It just helps to keep things solid.

But the real payoff is the ejaculation.  If you think you’ve had a volcanic experience without one, with this little gem, it can last for up to a minute, which in sex terms is like about ten thousand years.  This one actually had me shocked at how intense the orgasm and ejaculation went for me.

I wholeheartedly endorse this product and suggest that if you haven’t ever used a cock ring, this is an excellent one to start your experiment.  You’ll love the way it feels.

Sextoys - How does a new product design get to the market and what kind of testing do you do beforehand?

Keith Caggiano – We have a white board spilling over with new design concepts, we select what we think would be the next projects to fit into the line, I usually hand sketch them up a few times, they then go into a CAD design process which we continue to refine. From there we are able to have samples made where we can see how the concept actually works all together, we work with the right type of materials till we get it right and then it’s off to the famous Screaming O product testing team to give us feed back.

Sextoys – Does Screaming O have designs that fail? What constitutes failure? Is that totally market driven?

Keith Caggiano – We have been very fortunate that all of our products have been successful with in the niche that they were intended. Some of course are big volume sellers and others were designed for a more specific taste or customer. It most cases we will look to update packaging and the communication of the message to enhance the success of the product.

Sextoys - Speaking of kits, The O Boy Vibrating Safe Sex Quickie Kit is a relatively new one that is marketed to gay men. First, as advocates of safer sex, thanks for the inclusion of a condom! Secondly, do you plan on expanding your efforts in reaching out to the LGBT community?

Keith Caggiano – Funny you mention this we just released what we are calling the “(not-so) ambiguously gay duo” which is the O Boy Vibrating Quickie kit and the new up sell item to that the O Man™ vibrating ring with replaceable batteries. Our RingO’s have already become very popular for that market as well.

Sextoys - We really appreciate your expertise and time. Is there anything else you’d like to pass along to our readers?

Keith Caggiano – The Screaming O line is designed to continuously add new variations to sex so if you have tried the a Screaming O, try out some of the other ones to and you’ll be sure to be screaming O Honey, O Boy, O Man, O Wow or O Yeah. And as always Keep ‘em Screaming!

Money is tight for a lot of people right now, so I’ve compiled a list of five awesome items that will enhance your sex life without breaking the bank.  Sex is one of life’s great pleasures and doesn’t cost a damn thing, but there’s always room for exploration!  Each of these five suggestions costs less than 10 dollars and is sure to kick things up a notch (Bam!) in the bedroom.

1.  Slippery Stuff.Lube is a great investment and this water-based product is one of the best bargains out there. It’s glycerin free, compatible with your favorite toys and FDA registered. How many lubes can claim that!

2. Nitrile Cock Rings. This set contains three different sizes, so you don’t have to worry about getting the wrong size. These rings are compatible with both silicone and water-based lubes and are non-porous and hypoallergenic. They also retain their rigidity and firmness, so if you take good care of them, they’ll be around for a while!

3. Condoms. I’m not going to preach about the importance of safe sex in this short post, but if you’re on the prowl you should be carrying protection.

4. Pocket Rocket Jr. OK, so this one costs $10.99, but it’s such a bargain that I had to include it for my fellow girls on the go. This powerful little vibe is perfect if you’re looking to get off quickly and is small enough to tuck into a jacket pocket!

5. Fluffer Tickler. This Sportsheets tickler is perfect for teasing your partner until they’re begging for more.

While it’s nice to splurge on a fancy vibe, there’s no reason you can’t have a lot of dirty fun on a budget!

Cocksling by Tantus

Many of our readers will recognize Tantus Inc. products because of their appearances on the blog.  We’re big fans of Tantus, because of their safety, but we’d also like to point out that the quality of Tantus products is excellent.  I write everyday about toys, using research and reviews as a guide for what I need to pass along.  Once in a while, I even give a personal endorsement.

This is one of those times.

The Tantus Cocksling is one of the best erection enhancers I’ve ever used.  And that’s high praise given the competition.  Here’s how it’s described:

“This 100% silicone teardrop style cock-ring taps the taint giving you an external prostate massage while constricting your balls and cock. The silicone is firm yet has elasticity and if lockup occurs (penis engorged and yet you can’t ejaculate) you can easily sacrifice the silicone instead of calling on paramedics and the jaws of life.

Great for using during partner sex. Great for using as a solo toy for masturbation. Made by Tantus the first name in silicone manufacturers.”

The prostate massage item wasn’t on my agenda, but it does work.  The total comfort of this toy is what makes it unique.  The ability to wear it, without worry about it slipping here and there (the base holds it firm) and without worrying about how it may stretch or not do what it is supposed to, makes this a pleasure to use.

It works well for masturbation or for intercourse, though I think better for intercourse.  Maybe that’s the fun of another person playing along, though.  Whatever the case, the Cocksling is one of the best erection enhancers on the market, and it is durable enough to use repeatedly.  And, the Tantus design uses silicone, making cleanup a breeze and reuse worry free.

Check around and you’ll see that Tantus products constantly receive high marks for quality, durability and, most importantly, safety.  We’re proud to carry Tantus products and hope that you add them to your collection.

Max Width Cock Ring System

If you enjoy the sensation added by a cock ring, you’ll enjoy the Max Width Cock Ring System.  From Pipedream:

“Amaze your partner with a harder, thicker erection. You won’t believe how easy it is to get a rock hard erection everytime and keep it that way. First slide the silicone rings over your penis then apply the Max Width enlarger cream.

All three rings vary in size, so start with the two rings that fit you best and use the other one for your testicles. You can switch to the other rings for more resistance and a tighter squeeze when you’re ready. Maintain firmness, increase your endurance, and satisfy your partner everytime.”

You can also find a complete selection of cock rings here.

We’ve made some changes on Sextoys.com to make it easier to locate what you’re looking for with cockrings.  Vibrating Cockrings can now be found in the Toys for Couples category under “Vibrating Cock Rings.”  All other cock rings remain in the Toys for Men category under “Cock Rings.”

We hope this change makes your shopping easier.  If you have suggestions on ways we can improve your shopping experience, please let us know.
