A gay man online recently sparked a debate with his question on cock rings. He asked, “Am I the only one who finds cock rings unattractive? I see an attractive man, but if he’s wearing a cock ring it’s a turn-off for me.” This comment got gay men online talking, and as it turns out, opinions on cock rings are all over the place. Some guys love them for their function, while others just don’t find them appealing. So, Adam4Adam blog readers, where do you stand?
First off, let’s break it down—what exactly is a cock ring? Cock rings are sex toys designed to go around the base of the penis (or both the penis and balls) to restrict blood flow, leading to stronger erections and prolonged stamina. Some even vibrate for added stimulation. They’re a popular choice for men who want to enhance their performance or increase sensitivity.
But not everyone is a fan. Some guys just don’t find them visually appealing. As one gay man put it, “No [fr] for real, it looks like a Life Savers gummy wrapped around their dicks.” Others, however, swear by them, especially for performance benefits, “I do, at least for me, they help with my performance.”
Meanwhile some gay men draw the line at certain body modifications, saying, “Cock rings I don’t mind. Pierced penises are a hard no.” Then there are guys who prefer a completely natural experience, “I don’t like cock rings, toys, etc… all I need is the man.”
For many, cock rings are less about looks and more about function, “They’re more fun than they are attractive because they help you stay hard.”
And of course, not everyone is into them—either for themselves or their partners, “Don’t like them either, on me or the other person.” Finally, one commenter made an important point, “You’re never the only one when it comes to anything.”
Having said all that, while some gay men may not find cock rings visually appealing, plenty of guys appreciate what they bring to the bedroom.

Cock rings are a non starter. Don’t find them attractive around the genitals. Love the look of all natural. I’m sure they are helpful for some but it’s a big turnoff for me.
Fully agreed. Just give me that totally exposed cock. I have no use for anything non-natural. Also, cock rings say “pro hooker-upper” to me and that also turns me off even though I do have my own share of hookups.
another adornment, another accoutrement, another decoration mostly worn to provide a distinct function and it serves its purpose but, eventually, it distorts the blood vessels and changes the appearance of the penis the blood vessels are not meant to remain fully engorged.
Total turnoff for me! Just like shaved pubics.
I don’t mind them usually. I have seen some for sale, that look like they would impede the amount of penetration possible, which I think takes away from the helpfulness. Otherwise, I do enjoy using them (especially the thinner ones) and think they can be quite attractive on partners. I suffer from Shiny Object Syndrome, so when my partner wears a shiny metal one, I feel the need to explore what I find 🙂
No like or dislike, for me. If a cock ring heightens a guy’s ability to be a better sex partner (giving or receiving), great.
Depends on who’s wearing it and what kind of cock ring they are wearing. I won’t wear one, but it can be ok for others and I probably won’t mind.
To me this is not a hot or not question. It depends on the guy, the cock, and the cockring.
I like my men bareass and bare cock naked
I’ve always hated seeing them on a guy. But then I tried a ring myself, and the ejaculation/orgasm is really different and intense. So while I don’t like to see a guy wearing it, and I don’t wear it when I’m with another guy, I will occasionally wear one when I am jerking off myself.
Cock rings are hot ! Nose rings are not ! Would really rather see a cock ring on a dick or not , not a real big deal. But it’s a lot better than seeing a real animals pig ring right over the center of the top lip. What you tryna root in the mud to get out of that pig pen ? My bad. Wasn’t supposed to be direct reply to you Mr Paul D
Man, I’m torn. I don’t like cock rings, but totally agree on the nose/piercings opinion.
They’re neither here nor there for me, I don’t wear one.
I perfer guys that don’t wear a ring, most guys I’ve been with that wore a dick ring their dick either didn’t get hard or it didn’t stay hard even with the ring on,, I’ve never met a guy that wore a ring just for the hell of it, no disrespect towards no one”
Cock rings are not my thing and are a bit of a turn off when I see them on other guys at the peepshows and glory holes. Remember back in the day sucking a young guy off at a sex party who was wearing one, and I think that’s the only real time that I had fun. I do understand older dudes who would need to wear one, but don’t understand why guys looking 35 and younger would be wearing one!?…especially if you’re already toned and muscular, you should have good blood flow…just brings to mind the amount of drug… Read more »
I am a seventy-one-year-old topman. I have never needed or owned one. I have absolutely no issue with others using one, though.
I absolutely love my cockring and what it brings to the bedroom.It does enhance the performance level and out right feels good holding things in place.
Every time I see someone wearing a cock ring, I have flashbacks to when I was young on the farm and we would castrate young bull calves by placing a rubber band on their ball sack. After a week or so it would dry up and fall off.
Lol I use to do that too
Total turn off… just saying
I’m stunned by those that would even care! I have a collection, and they’re mostly for me, not who I’m entertaining with my larger cock and low hangers. Cock jewelry is OK with me, and naked is, too. My only distaste is for those cocks that are forested in heavy pubes. Ptui. Some guys don’t wear them properly, and some guys need the anti-ED effect, but I like them for how my balls feel when they swing. YMMV. Offer void in Rhode Island.
Only if a matching speculum is used.
Total turn off.
Not attractive to me.
I’m surprised at the number of guys who don’t like them. I wear a glans ring 24/7 and a stainless steel cock ring to keep me hard when I need to be. I’m a bottom and love to get fucked by a guy wearing a cock ring. It’s a performance enhancer for me. I’ve had guys ask me to take the glans ring off when they’re sucking me and I do, but they never ask me to take the SS ring off. A couple of guys have managed to get it in their mouths.
