Morphology
The compound literally combines 'tension' (tightness) and 'ring' (circular band), so a learner can infer it refers to a band that produces tightness — i.e., a ring that constricts. However, the specific sexual/medical use (a device placed at the base of the penis to maintain an erection) is a specialised inference that a B1 learner would not reliably derive from the constituents alone, so it is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Tension ring comes from the simple, literal idea of a ring that makes tension, or tightness, at the base of the penis to slow blood leaving. That's why it refers to a medical ring used to 'help maintain an erection' by 'restricting blood flow'.
