Do cock rings help maintain an erection?  If not, what is their purpose? Thanks

Having been ostracized by my parental figure for another, their somewhat useful when used with a condom and away you go, but what's with it in case of the loss of blood flow? Is right up there with stay hard cream!

not only do they maintain ..  by restricting the returning blood flow it will increase your girth !!!  girls love that .. i  use them every time

Ever since my total prostatectomy 4 years ago I have usedthem  to maintain erection. You need to shop around for the diameter which is right for your cock.
I apply the ring is my partner is starting my erection orally. and sometimes used 2 to maintain max hardness.
  One  caveat: Do not leave the ring onfor over 20 to 30 minutes or it can interfere with circulation . You can wear them on your fingers when not in use.

Some guys have to use a pump to get hard.  Then they slip on the cock ring to maintain the erection.  I haven't used them yet, and at my age I can still get hard.  But it doesn't last as long as it used to without a lot of stimulation, so some day I might try a cock ring.

Cock rings & penis pumps.

These vary in utility depending on your situation. These need to be fitted properly and you need to measure the circumference of your erect penis and buy them from some of the better suppliers.  
I have no trouble maintaining an erection but find it can last longer with a woodcock ring (I like those that involved both penis and testicles.  I find that some parters like ones that have a small stimulator so that she is getting direct clitoral stimulation .

I’m a physician age 65 and the C rings were mildly effective early on but it was the Androgel that  really kicked things up - biggest problem for me was the obvious disappointment on escorts faces when they answered the door and saw me - I’m still an avid skier and golfer, but I’m not 35, I’ve been in the game since 1980 and by 2017 it was obvious when the escorts see an expensive car and older man, they start looking for a wallet not just a trick.  At our age you have to go for a very expensive $1200 an hour high escort unless you want to be a sugar daddies- the $300-$600 per hour range are not happy to see 60+ unless we bring a lot more to the game, ie car, condo.

I often still see "relief" on the face of a provider when she opens the door. The relief as in "Ok, this won't be too bad" lol

 
I saw my first hooker in 1974 and I am still going strong. I think you need to go to the doctor and get a shot of "self esteem"

Maybe you need to seek out providers who advertise as “senior friendly”.  I’m mid-60s and have no problem finding moderately-priced providers who’re glad to see a guy my age or even older.  Most I see express a preference for older guys.  And all I need to bring to the game is my smile, a positive let’s-have-fun attitude, my clean body, my manners, and... oh yeah, my wallet!  They’d better not look at my car, they won’t be impressed unless they think small is beautiful.  

My experience differs from yours.  
.
I'm 70 and have never been athletic -- I'm tall and heavy and hairy.   I look my age and my car looks expensive.  I've never booked above 400/hr, and my experiences have ranged from good-enough to wow-wow-W0W, with a slight negative correlation between rate and wows.  I repeat with about a third of them.  If any of the ladies have been disappointed to see me, none ever let on.  
.
I don't know what behavior "looking for a wallet" would be, so maybe it has happened and I just didn't notice.  What did they do or say to you?  How do you recognize that she's expecting a car or condo?  Do they just come right out and demand them?  Is there a secret code?  
.
I have never "been in the game" of dating for "free" sex.  
.
I"m very interested in what might account for our different experiences.

Sorry, that didn't have anything to do with cock rings.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 20 or so years ago and had the brachytherapy (prostate seeds) protocol.  Prior to the diagnosis, I was having sporadic ED issues - although not serious enough to consider troublesome.  I'm now 76 and have been using Viagra and a cock ring since then.  To the cock ring subject - overall I find it helpful to maintain my erection but after a bit it can actually be distracting for me (particularly when it starts pinching pubic hair !).  I use a "lasso" type that can be adjusted so that can grab the hairs as well.  Bottom line - helpful when used with Viagra but only for a limited amount of time.

Have you tried shaving (or waxing) the troublesome hair?  That also helps the shaved area feel more skin contact, as well as avoiding hair-pulling.  Ladies seem to appreciate it too.

I am a proud user of the pump and cock ring.  Not bashful about it and have posted before about it On this forum.  I use an ErectAid pump.  

Their cock rings have evolved over time, and comfort has increased.   Rings I used at first were narrow in the band which hurt like hell at the base.  Since then tighter, and smother rings have emerge.  Now I hardly feel it after application.  

You won’t shoot much, if at all.  Cum either drains after ring is removed or goes into the bladder.    

I will say my orgasms last longer and often very intense.  

A couple of ideas:

Have you tried KGirls? We’re of similar age and professions, and I’m certainly no Adonis, and I’ve never had a bad experience with a KGirl acting disappointed and I’ve always had very good to great service for +/-300 or less.

Also, have you tried consorts who are late 40s or early 50s? I’ve also had great experience with them. They’re happy to see a guy they can relate to and who is likely to treat them well.

I have had issues of late and use. pump and ring. I'm very happy with Vacurect see link.

I have yet to run into a provider who isn't amenable to working with me and using the pump. In fact, I've found most so far fascinated by it. Their days can be kind of hum drum routine, so they light up when they see a new 'toy'. They are happy to oblige and lick me all over while the pump does it work.

Get the multiple size rings (1-10) with the kit. Don't skimp, as the difference between ring sizes is pretty wide. So if you get 1, 4,8,and 10, you have a good chance of not getting a ring that fits. Also, do a search for coupon codes to save another 20% or so off price.  https://www.couponbirds.com/codes/mainspringmedical.com

A pro tip, bring alcohol wipes and wipe off the ring in front of the provider. This puts them at ease, because of health risks. Women are SUPER sensitive about 'down there' and keeping clean. This shows that you are disinfecting before putting your potentially unwashed and used cock ring down there near their clean pussy. Anything you can do to ease a provider's worries is helpful.

As far as being old, I think that is in your head. Look at all these old guys, Hugh Hefner, etc., with super young chicks. Women don't think the same way as men. Looks are 3rd or 4th on the scale of importance. Nice, clean, respectful are far higher. My good friend who is 62 married a 28 year model blonde type girl that is just stunning. Good for him, but showed me women don't think nearly about looks of their partner as men.

I highly recommend trying a variety & maybe even a pump.
