I do PE, specifically jelqing. Anyone who has done this knows that afterwards they have a temporary girth gain of upwards of 1/2". This typically lasts a few hours. Wearing a cock ring will prolong those temporary gains for well over a day. It is my belief that holding onto these temp gains, while visually pleasing in and of itself, helps with permanent girth gains. As for sex, take whatever level of erection you get now, and wearing a properly fitted ring will blow that away. The prolong orgasms and intensity of those orgasms is incredible. Like to a show a bulge, a cock and ball ring will push everything front and center. For those of us who don't live in an area where nudity is encouraged, wearing a cock and ball ring gives me a sense of daring that feels good - plus it does feel good.
I wear a leather adjustable cock and ball ring because they are easier to get on and off. Stainless is far more expensive, and should you find yourself in a situation where your erection is making the ring too tight, good luck getting it off. With the leather you simply unsnap it. My rings go from 1/2" in width to 2", but I have settled on the 1/2". If I wanted to show a monster bulge I would go with the 2", but I feel confident with what I have so the 1/2" is fine for me.
