What Are the Best Sex Toys for Men
While there’s seemingly a greater emphasis on women’s adult toys as the pinnacle of sexual exploration, their male counterparts are just as exciting and gratifying in every sense. There’s a wide range of men’s masturbator toys that open the doors towards new sexual experiences and allow you to get to know your own body from a whole different perspective.
Oral and Vaginal Masturbators
Perhaps the most life-like models of the bunch, these toys are commonly referred to as strokers, sleeves or pocket pussies. The names do an incredibly accurate job of capturing the essence of these tube-shaped products that are basically designed to simulate oral or vaginal penetration.
The great thing about this specific kind of men’s masturbator toys is that they offer a full-fledged, 360-degree experience. You can twist and turn the masturbators in whichever direction you please and they’ll wrap around the penis in a similar fashion as they would with their real-life counterparts.
Now, some strokers have additional design features that could potentially elevate pleasure levels to whole new heights. For instance, some models have the option to heat up or vibrate, with the intention of simulating the actual act of oral or vaginal penetration. You can move them up and down your shaft or keep them firmly in place and let the vibration do its magic – that’s entirely up to you.
Penis Pumps
The way penis pumps work is quite similar to breast pumps – they consist of a plastic container that goes over the penis and uses suction as stimulation. This increases blood flow to the groin area and helps you achieve and maintain an erection for longer periods of time.
There’s a common misconception that these pumps can make your penis larger the more you use them, but their effects are entirely temporary. Yes, you do get an erection and the sucking motion can help you reach a more powerful orgasm but it’s won’t cause any permanent changes.
Penis Rings
As the name suggests, these are ring-shaped men’s masturbators that go over the penis and sit at the very base. It doesn’t exactly stop blood flow to the penis but it does limit the amount that flows back out. This can lead to an increase in sensation and more pleasurable orgasms.
In terms of design, penis rings range from fairly simple to quite complex. Some of the stretchy models consist of a silicone base that’s soft to the touch while other, tougher options are made from firmer silicone or even metal.
You need to be very careful when choosing the size of the ring as this can determine how enjoyable the whole experience is for you. Of course, you don’t want it to be too loose since this can take away from the sensation but it shouldn’t fully prevent blood flow to the area either.
Butt Plugs
The classic butt plug is definitely a fan favourite for both males and females. They’re inserted directly into the anal opening in an effort to stimulate the clump of nerve endings in the area. The overall design anatomy may vary but most of them have a pear-shaped appearance that makes them easier to handle.
This kind of toy is particularly enjoyable for the male population because it directly stimulates the prostate, which is a gland that’s located very close to the anus. This is known as the P-spot or the male equivalent of the female G-spot. By inserting butt plugs into the anal opening, you’re essentially massaging this gland and stimulating the erogenous zone. This can lead to more pleasurable sexual experiences and greater orgasmic sensations.
Tips for Using Sex Toys Properly
Regardless of which toys you decide to try out, there are a few safety guidelines you should follow. It doesn’t matter if you’re using them for some solo fun or trying out new things with a partner, you should always practice the following:
Use Enough Lube
This can’t be stressed enough – lube is your best friend. Despite their realistic appearance and life-like sensations, these toys don’t have the same kind of natural lubrication that a real penis or vagina might have. So, using them without proper lubrication can lead to irritation, discomfort and a whole host of other inconveniences no one wants to deal with.
Give Yourself Time to Know Your Body
Here’s the thing – our bodies aren’t designed like clockwork, you can’t exactly know which button to push or which moves to turn to when you’re trying to take yourself over the edge. It’s a continuous process of familiarising yourself with what feels good and what doesn’t. Don’t pressure yourself into finding all the right angles right away, explore different stroke rates and methods until you find something you like.
Stimulate All the Senses
This is particularly crucial for masturbation sessions because most people tend to focus on the genital area only and disregard the rest of the body. But truth is, there are plenty of erogenous zones that can be just as pleasurable and exciting as your penis.
In fact, it’s believed that there are over 14 zones you can stimulate in order to achieve an orgasm. This includes your inner thighs, lower abdomen, neck and scalp. So, don’t be afraid to let your hands roam and see where that takes you. You can even put on your favourite porn videos for additional audio-visual stimulation.
