Lenny Kravitz #Penisgate Sparks New Conversation About C-rings

Aug. 6, 2015

In case you’ve been asleep or living in a wifi-free cave, you may have missed what’s been deemed #penisgate: famously sexual rocker Lenny Kravitz split his leather pants during a festival concert on Monday and gave fans a seriously full frontal view. (He was going commando.) And a flash of metal at the base of his dick sent the Internet ablaze – was this 51-year-old rock star sporting a cock ring on stage? And if so….why?!

Rumors quickly were squashed by clarification that the glint of silver was actually from a penis piercing and NOT a cock ring (Kravitz has talked about it before) but questions still arose: Why would he wear a cock ring under his clothes? Aren’t cock rings meant for sex?

Well, yes! But there’s a lesser-known (but supremely awesome) benefit to strapping on a cock ring before a night on the town – especially if you’re going sans underwear. They make your junk look BIGGER.

Cock rings typically fit tight around the shaft and testicles right at the base. This constricting action can actually turn your package into a full-on bulge and the longer you wear it – as long as it feels comfortable and NOT painful! – the bigger everything will get. You won’t necessarily get a boner, but you’ll definitely look bigger below the belt. So pair a bulging package with tight leather pants à la Lenny Kravitz (maybe keep the undies on, though) and you’ll leave a lasting impression on your audience.

The more you know…

4 Points to Consider Before Putting On a Cock Ring

We hear all kinds of information about cock rings, love rings, couples rings, vibrating rings – rings for all kinds of things – and why they’re awesome, but they can be confusing when confronting one face to face. There’s a lot to keep in mind before strapping one on and it’s not always intuitive (though it’s also not rocket science), so we thought we’d offer a quick guide to take the mystery out of the subject matter. Here are four of the most important points to consider:

Where Are You Wearing It?

Cock rings can actually be worn in one of two ways, depending on your preference: either around the penis and testicles, creating a snug fit at the base of the body; or just around the base of the penis, leaving the testicles to dangle on their own. It helps to try a variety of widths and sizes to see what feels best; some men like a tight fit around the shaft but something with more give when the testicles are involved.

Most men like cock rings because of their ability to engorge and enhance their package, which can lead to greater sensitivity, stronger orgasms and longer-lasting sex. But sometimes the best part is knowing that wearing a cock ring can make your junk look bigger. Because who doesn’t want that?

What’s it Made Of?

Rings come in many forms – some are stretchy, some are rock-hard steel, and others have straps and snaps. Each one is worn in a different way, so keep this in mind when you’re starting to shop.

Stretchy rings can be easy to put on and get off, depending on how stretchy they are. We suggest starting made of elastomer or SEBS as they stretch much more than most silicones and once you’ve gotten the hang, upgrade to something made of a more expensive material. Whatever material you choose, start out by stretching the cock ring as wide as it can go (just keep a good grip on it so you don’t snap yourself!) so you can ease your way in and adjust as necessary. BONUS: stretchy materials can be quickly and easily removed in an emergency by simply snipping them with scissors.

RingO 3-pack in clear, stretchy, body-safe SEBS

Stainless steel, stone or other rings made of materials that don’t stretch are for more advanced users because they can fit quite tight and be tremendously difficult to remove once you’re done. Once you’re engorged and rock hard, these things aren’t coming off easily, so use caution.

Leather and other cock rings that attach with snaps are popular because they are so simple to get on and off. Snap the two ends together to your preferred tightness level and then unsnap them in an instant when you’re ready. These tend to be more aesthetically pleasing than effective for sexual enhancement, however, so choose a different material if you’re looking for a tighter fit.

How’s the Hair Down There?

Cock rings, especially ones made of stretchy materials, can sometimes pull or yank on pubic hair as your put them on and off. We recommend using lubricant to keep the area smooth and slick, which lets the cock ring slide across the skin without accidentally catching on something you don’t want it to. If you’re completely new to the cock ring game, you could even try shaving the area to completely remove the risk of hair-pulling – it all depends on your comfort level.

Does Your Cock Ring Vibrate?

Many cock rings come with vibrating motors attached, often designed to provide your partner with some stimulation while you’re going at it. If your partner is a woman, chances are she might enjoy the feeling of a vibrating ring against her clitoris – it often can help her reach orgasm without having to reach down and do it herself. Just make sure the vibrating motor is positioned correctly so it can make contact with her sweet spot.

If your partner is a man, he might enjoy feeling tickling vibration against his taint. Try wearing the cock ring with the motor below your penis and/or testicles to give him (and you!) a little vibrating boost. Many cock rings also come with extra ticklers and stimulators, so if you and your partner are big fans of taint tapping and ball bumping, try a cock ring with swinging beads and dual motors. They can turn up the fun with the touch of a button.

The Best Ways to Introduce Sex Toys into Your Relationship

Sex toys have become as common a conversation piece as the weather, but it’s still tricky to ask our partners whether or not they’d be down to try a cock ring or mini vibe. Sex toys can be intimidating, almost scary, to those of us who’ve never dreamed of putting something with a motor near our nether regions. And others associate sex toys with filling some kind of void or fixing an inadequacy in our current sexual situations, which are NOT good feelings for foreplay.

Fortunately, there are ways to side-step the insecurities and taboo that sex toys can bring, and we’ve compiled some of our favorite and most effective tips just for you!

1. Use Your Words
“But we don’t NEED one.” Heard this before? It’s not uncommon for men or women to feel as though sex toys are made to take the place of human interaction and body parts, but almost every sex toy on the planet can be enjoyed as a couple. So keep that in mind when you’re thinking about how to broach the subject and be sure to include your partner in the idea.

“I read that using a vibrator while we have sex can help me orgasm faster! I’d love to try that tonight!”

“I think it’d be super-hot to wear a butt plug next time we’re together – what do you think?”

“Thinking about you using a sex toy makes me so horny – can we try one sometime?”

The most important goal is to make sure your partner understands that sex toys are sexual enhancements – NOT replacements – and that whatever new gadget or gizmo makes it into the bedroom is for both of your pleasures. These kinds of intimate products add sensations and stimulation in ways our fingers and bodies simply can’t, and that’s what makes them so exciting – and SO worth trying.

2. Shop Together
Shopping is a treat for some and a drag to others, but when it comes to picking out something sexy to use together, you HAVE to check out your options as a team! If you or your partner isn’t part of the selection process, one of you will miss out on an important bonding experience that helps set the scene (and the mood) for what might happen later behind closed doors. Maybe she would have liked the blue vibrator instead of the pink. Or maybe he would have wanted to try that cock ring you saw but didn’t buy.

Perusing the shelves of lingerie, cock rings, mini vibes and other sexy playthings gives you both the opportunity to explore and see what catches your eye – you might be surprised at what strikes you!

Plus, shopping together gives you both a chance to learn a little more about each other’s curiosities and kinks, which builds intimacy almost as fast as anticipation. And once you get comfortable shopping for sex gear together, heading to the store (or even simply scrolling through adult shopping sites online) can feel like foreplay without anyone’s clothes even hitting the ground.

3. Start Small
If you’re new to sex toys, or if your partner is open but still not convinced, it might be a good idea to start with the basics before moving onto something next-level. Think about what you’re curious to try together (Anal play? Clit stimulation during doggy style? Maybe a vibrating ring?) and check out your options. Some products are made to be disposable, something you can try once to see if you like it – and then toss if you don’t. Most sex toys have beginner-level versions that are reusable but cost a lot less, which takes some of the pressure off of choosing the perfect one.

Stretchy one-size-fits-most cock rings are low-cost, low-commitment, and typically easier for beginners to try. Bullets, mini vibes, and small hand-held massagers are great starter vibrators for stimulating the clitoris, nipples, testicles, taint – pretty much anywhere that feels sensitive to the touch. Vibrating tongue rings or vibrating penis rings are also fun and inexpensive options for those of us just starting out on our sex toy adventures.

Most of us wouldn’t jump in the deep end before learning to doggy paddle or put the pedal to the metal during a DMV driving test. The same goes for sex toy shopping: ease your way into it and try to keep the pace of your partner. Work your way up to the next level as a team and enjoy the ride along the way!

4. Sharing is Caring
No matter what the package might say, most vibrators can – and SHOULD! – be used on men AND women. Mini vibes are great for her clitoris, but don’t forget that he might like to feel the buzz on his balls during a blowjob. And vibrating rings feel great worn around the penis and testicles, but try wrapping the ring around a finger and touching her nipples or teasing her lips.

CAUTION: This is only safe to do when you and your partner have been tested and declared STI-free, because you’ll inevitably be swapping more than just each other’s sex toys while you’re at it. And please keep in mind that anything that goes in or around your anal area should be washed thoroughly before it goes anywhere near the rest of your body to avoid spreading icky bacteria where you don’t want it! #themoreyouknow

5. Learn by Doing
No one wants to be schooled in the bedroom (even if we could use a tip or three) and that especially applies when sex toys are part of the plan. One of you might know a little more about vibrators than the other, but don’t take on the teacher role just yet – unless that’s part of the fantasy, of course!

Open each toy and read the instructions together. Part of the fun is checking them out, turning them on, and watching each other’s faces change as you experiment with what feels good, what feels “meh,” and what feels “ohmigoddontstop.”

Why Foreplay is Sometimes Better than Sex

Sometimes foreplay can feel like a hassle when all you want is to rip each other’s clothes off, but this kind of sexy warm-up is actually one of the most important parts of getting it on! Most of us fall into a “we want it NOW!” mindset when it comes to having sex, but many don’t know that with a little pre-gaming TLC you can have better, more satisfying sex with orgasms that’ll blow your mind.

Better Orgasms – Because Biology!
We feel turned on when blood starts to flow more freely to our pleasure zones, and the more time you spend getting it gushing, the more sensitive you’ll feel. Penises become erect when their tube-like interiors engorge with blood and, believe it or not, clitorises do the SAME THING – they just take different amounts of time to get to that hard-and-swollen state. And that’s where foreplay comes in.

Some men can turn on and get hard in mere minutes, while others need a little coaxing to get in the mood. And most women can take up to 20 minutes (or even longer, depending on various factors) to get in the right state of mind and body, so patience is one of the most important “sex toys” we suggest to couples.

Water won’t boil in 30 seconds and you can’t have a healthy workout without a decent warm-up, right? Keep that same logic in mind and dedicate at least 10 minutes to a pre-sex “regimen” with your partner. You’ll be glad you did (and so will your partner)!

Try Erogenous Zones OTHER Than the Obvious!
Instead of going right for each other’s junk, take time to stimulate, tickle, lick, blow on (or whatever you like!) the OTHER parts of the body that respond to sexy stuff. There are so many to choose from and many of us like certain areas more than others, which is what makes foreplay so fun. Exploring to see what works great and what doesn’t work at all lets you both embark on a titillating and kinda-naughty journey on and around each other’s bodies.

Common erogenous zones include the neck, inner thighs, nipples, chest, feet, and sometimes other areas that might surprise you. So touch or tickle a sweet spot and see what your partner says – just be sure to communicate! Because unless he or she tells you “yay” or “no way,” you’ll never know if you’re doing something that feels good. You’re not a mind-reader and neither is your partner!

Like Each Other Even More!
Foreplay is recommended mostly for making sex feel better, but it’s ALSO an incredible way to get closer to your partner by building…you guessed it. Intimacy! Instead of going straight for the goal, taking the time to warm each other up lets you get comfortable with each other faster, building both of your confidence levels higher than ever. You’ll get to know each other’s bodies, feel safe and taken care of (sexually and maybe even emotionally) by your partner, and even get to the comfort level where typically embarrassing moments end up just making you laugh!
Without the stress and anxiety that can be common, sex ends up being so much more fun and frees up space for more smiling, laughing and general happiness as you get closer to doing the ultimate deed.

This heightened intimacy also allows for next-level foreplay, which might include exploring erogenous zones normally forgotten or ignored (or maybe too “advanced” for some) or even using sex toys to help enhance sensations! The perineum (aka the taint) and anus are incredibly sensitive for some men and women and using mini vibes or bullet vibrators is a great way to stimulate as you get familiar with these less-familiar areas. Even light bondage – for instance, tying arms to the bed post so your partner can take the wheel for a while – is a fun way to take foreplay up to the next level, and also signifies that you both may have reached a new level of trust that simply makes your relationship even stronger – and, chances are, the sex even better!

The Screaming O has taken its top-selling RingO x3 cock ring 3-packs and transformed them with a discreet and trendy clear color for a softer silhouette. Once only available in black, these popular erection rings now give men the choice of a how they want to present their packages: with a hard edge or a subtle look.

Following demand for a less conspicuous version of its popular black color, The Screaming O designed its RingO x3 in clear lab-tested SEBS material to provide the enlarged, engorged look men love without the telltale shadow that a dark-colored ring can give.

The RingO x3 offers a convenient selection of three shapes and sizes – firm, medium or classic tension – made with strong and durable materials for fuller and firmer erections. Couples can easily see what size feels and fits right with the best results, whether looking for extreme constriction or a snug fit. All three styles stretch to fit most members and help control premature ejaculation while promoting harder erections and more intense orgasms.

“We’re in the business of customer service and when we heard how much our fans love the RingO x3 and the pure and clean appearance of our pure SEBS, the choice was, well, clear!” The Screaming O Account Executive Conde Aumann said. “If there’s one thing we know men want, it’s one-stop-shop convenience. And that’s exactly what the RingO x3 is for!”

And as with all Screaming O sex toys, the RingO x3 has been independently lab-tested to assure optimum material quality and a body-safe experience that men and women of all kinds can enjoy.

We’ve sent a new sex toy out into the universe and its unique color and shape is out of this world. The Orbit is different from traditional stretchy erection rings because of its distinctive rocket-like silhouette, which provides a wider contact point with the clitoris while maintaining a snug fit that helps prevent premature ejaculation. So not only do couples benefit from longer-lasting sex, but this sex toy for couples also increases her chances of reaching orgasm – it’s the ultimate win-win!

The Orbit is a stretchy vibrating cock ring made of glossy white SEBS – a lab-tested body-safe material that stretches to fit almost anyone – with a unique rocket-like vibrator at the top. Its unique power position provides direct contact to the clitoris, the clitoral hood, and its surrounding sensitive zones with three warp speeds and one pulse mode that couples can toggle through with the push of a button.

The ring itself features a smooth interior that lies flush against the skin for a stay-put fit without the typical tight feeling of most cock rings, yet it feels soft and flexible against delicate skin.  Stretched around either the base of the penis or both the penis and testicles, the Orbit will feel secure – but not uncomfortable – as it helps slow blood flow to keep him harder and last longer.

We had fun incorporating unique spaceship-like design elements that also boosted the Orbit’s functionality, and in the end we wound up with a one-of-a-kind shape with enhanced performance to boot. And as with all stretchy Screaming O products, the Orbit is made using only certified and lab-tested body-safe SEBS to assure a quality, body-safe experience that men and women of all kinds can enjoy.

So strap in and start your better-sex countdown today – the Orbit feels so good it’ll make you see stars!

The romantic holiday season is in full swing, which means it’s time to start prepping for the biggest event of all: Valentine’s Day! So we’ve made it easy with a gift guide designed to fit everyone’s needs, from fun couples kits to sexy treats for the single life.

For the girl who has every sex toy: Ohare

Some gals simply have it all, and finding them something sexy that they’ve never seen before can seem impossible – so that’s why we suggest the Ohare. The Ohare is a clever hybrid between a double-ring erection ring and the iconic rabbit vibrator, a go-to sex toy for so many women. It takes the powerful vibrating “ear” concept and combines it with a secure cock ring that can be enjoyed together, giving her the clitoral stimulation she loves with the erection enhancement he needs! It’s brand new, too, so chances are the Ohare isn’t yet on her radar.

For the couple planning a romantic getaway: Ovation Kit

Some couples make time for themselves to celebrate their relationships, whether it’s a trip to Cabo or a stay-cation in front of their living room fireplace. And no romantic getaway is complete without something sexy to enhance the moment – and that’s why we put some of our most popular sex toys and accessories in a convenient all-in-one kit. The Ovation Kit is as convenient as it is portable and includes all of the essentials couples need for a wild night. And the best part? There’s two of everything, which means there are enough goodies to keep them going into Round 2!

For the best first impression: PrimO Tux

Some Valentine’s Day celebrations are just a little more special, especially if he’s meeting his date for the very first time. First impressions are everything, which means he needs to pay extra attention to what he does – and brings – in the bedroom. And that’s why the PrimO Tux is the perfect couples toy that makes it easy for him to dress to impress. It’s made of our highest quality silicone and features an adorable little studded bowtie on the motor, which stimulates her clitoris while giving it an air of flirty formality. She’ll be impressed that he cared enough for premium silicone and he’ll be happy he came equipped with something that’ll help his penis stay hard.

For the guy who’s over it: TacO

Eh, Valentine’s Day. Who cares? This guy doesn’t; all he’s planning is to enjoy himself in front of his computer screen and maybe invite some hand lotion to the party. And that why the TacO is the perfect accoutrement to this solo session: this handheld stroker is simple, easy, affordable and makes masturbation feel that much better. It sure beats a giant glob of Lubriderm, and it can be washed and reused to keep the romantic rub-outs coming long after Cupid retires for the year.

For the girl who’s dating herself: My Secret Screaming O Lipstick

Who needs a dinner date when the most important person is herself? This gal wants something designed especially for her pleasure – and no one else’s – so it has to fit her style and serve some serious vibration power. That’s why we recommend the My Secret Screaming O Lipstick: it looks just like the luxe lipstick many women love but houses an impressively strong motor that turns its bright-pink tip into a pleasure machine. It’s a sexy secret that’s just for her and she can celebrate Valentine’s Day with a freshly flushed face and a big smile knowing she’s treating herself – and treating herself well!

For the couple who loves risqué romance: MasteRing Panty

An ordinary dinner date just won’t cut it for some couples, which is why we suggest the MasteRing Panty for those of you who like to take their playtime out in public. This little bullet vibe is operated by a remote control cleverly disguised as a finger ring – and the bullet fits inside a sexy black lace panty (it’s included!) so she can wear it all night long without missing a beat. Couples can toggle through 10 vibration patterns from up to 50 feet away while they watch each other squirm from across the table, bar, club, wherever and make for a very memorable Valentine’s Day celebration!

As part of our commitment to our fans around the world, The Screaming O has teamed with an independent laboratory and verifier to have all of our sex toy materials tested for quality, toxicity, body-safety and authenticity. This new effort is part of an education campaign designed to keep shoppers informed about the materials we use in our products and promote responsible manufacturing and consumer confidence.

Our first testing phase took place in December 2014 and revealed that The Screaming O’s SEBS – which is a form of styrene-ethylene-butadiene – and premium silicone are pure, non-toxic and body-safe. You’ve probably heard of silicone, but what in the world is SEBS?

SEBS is a stretchy material used in most of The Screaming O’s cock rings, vibrating cock rings, and many of our non-silicone mini vibes. It’s a quality and safe alternative to squishy (and smelly) jelly material – but they are NOT the same thing! SEBS, as is any material that is not platinum silicone, stainless steel, glass, or coated wood or stone, is slightly porous. But “porous” does not mean “unsafe” or “toxic” when it comes to external-use toys. You just have to keep your sex toys clean, as you would for any item that goes on, in or near your body!

We choose to manufacture much of our product line out of pure SEBS in order to provide quality alternatives for men, women and couples who cannot afford (or do not want) to drop $60+ on a rechargeable cock ring or $90+ clitoral vibe. And they – and everyone else! – deserves body-safe materials and quality construction, don’t you agree?

The initial materials testing was sparked by miscommunication regarding the labeling of our SEBS material, which previously read “SEBS Silicone.” Now that we have hard data proving that no silicone is present, the descriptions have been revised and correctly labeled as pure, non-toxic, body-safe SEBS.

“It’s so exciting to have independent lab results (with third-party validation) to further support our brand because The Screaming O proudly stands behind each of our products, and we want our consumers to feel confident to do the same,” Aumann said. “Plus, we genuinely want everyone on the planet to have better, more satisfying sex and let The Screaming O be their guide – or at least their gateway!”
