While I've hardly ever used one I'll have to confess that the first time I tried a cock ring I didn't know how to put it on properly. I thought it went only around the shaft of the penis. Below is a list of links to sites offering cock ring wisdom and trivia.
The purpose of a cock ring is to temporarily prevent blood from draining out of a man's penis, thereby increasing sensation and prolonging erection. Once engorged the blood vessels in the penis can clamp shut until ejaculation. For some men, the tension from a cock ring can prolong erection even after ejaculation.
Penis straps or rings are intended to go around the base of the penis, behind the testicles (so testicles and penis are in front of the ring). Many styles with all sorts of bells and whistles are available—ones that separate the balls, cock rings that provide a consistent squeeze on the testicles, styles that allow you to hang weights off the testicles for varying degrees of pulling, and kits that lace up the whole penis.
An ornamental cock ring is designed to be enjoyable to wear and at the same time attractive to look at. They can be extravagantly designed and quite intricate using any combination of metal, leather, rubber, chain etc. Ornamental cock rings will usually encompass the entire penis and are not meant to be used during sexual intercourse or masturbation but rather, used for visual stimulus and foreplay. Many ornamental cock rings have small rings that allow a leash or lock to be attached to enhance the effect of being "caged".
The most common variety is the rubber cock ring, which is shaped like an O-ring washer - like the ones used in your garden hose or kitchen faucet - but larger. They are also available as leather straps and nylon ties, and are available in materials ranging from rubber to chrome. Some of the most popular categories include: ...
You may feel like you have just uncovered the first Rubik’s cube for the penis. Over, under, in between…the best way to approach this is to make it a game. Most cock rings go at the base of the penis, behind the scrotum. Some men like it only around the penis, some like it around both the penis and scrotum. Other cock rings strap in between each testicles. Experimentation is the key.
Some cock rings offer other enhancements, such as ball spreaders. While we don't know if these enhance the ring's functionality, they do look and feel hot. Other cock ring features, like flashing lights or glow-in-the-dark material, definitely don't enhance a ring's effectiveness, but are fun nonetheless. Vibrating cock rings, on the other hand, can be stimulating to wear for both you and your sexual partners.
Whoa there, stud! Though we're sure you (or your partner) is the biggest thing since John Holmes and Ron Jeremy, we can assure you that most silicone rings will stretch to accommodate even the largest johnsons. In the case of metal rings, measuring is quite simple; take a strip of paper about 8" long and a quarter inch wide, and wrap it around the area, marking where the two ends meet. Measure the length of the paper and divide by 3 and you've got your size. For most men, a 1.75-2 inch ring will be sufficient to wear comfortably.

When i wear a cockring, i have 2 a 63mm and a 57mm, i place the larger one at the base of my shaft, pushing it down firmly. I don’t care for placeing it behind my balls, then i put on my smaller one, pulling back my foreskin and sliping it over my glans, then i ease my hood back over the glans. I make sure the ring is tucked just behind my cockhead. Often, i’ll wear the smaller one behind my glans, out in public, at work, etc., when my penis moves around, the ring stimulates my glans, it’s almost like electric shocks!
