Men may not be as familiar with masturbating toys as women are, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an amazing array of sex toys designed specifically for them. These toys can add depth to solo masturbation and also boost pleasure during partnered play, especially if you’re using a lubricant to enhance the experience.
Men who frequently masturbate experience a variety of mental and physical benefits, including better sleep, lower stress levels and greater energy. And even if you haven’t ever masturbated before, it is not only completely safe but can actually lead to orgasms that will rival those experienced during a real sex act.
The good news is that male masturbators are not only available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, but they’re also super easy to use. A quick glance at a sex toy catalogue will reveal options from strokers (which are great for targeting the head of the penis and are also ideal for beginners) to eggs, which are portable and easy to hide away, to torso masturbators that can be used with or without an erection.
When it comes to choosing a male masturbator, it’s important to take your time and consider your preferences carefully. A few key factors include size and discreetness (eggs are a good choice here) and the type of sensation you want to enjoy. For example, some guys prefer a soft texture while others like the feel of hard bumps or nodules on the shaft. If you’re not sure what you’d prefer, it’s worth trying out a few different types before making a purchase.
It’s also important to think about which lubrication you want to use with your toy, as not all sex toys are compatible with all lubricants. For instance, silicone lubes can melt plastics so should be avoided when purchasing a male masturbator made from plastic or a material that is sensitive to heat. If you aren’t sure what to choose, a sales rep should be able to give you some tips and advice on what will work best with your specific toy.
If discretion is a big concern, the Mocha Strokahhh from Hismith is the perfect option. This stroker is covered in a thick layer of soft PureSkin that feels smooth and sensual against the skin, while its gorgeous brown colour makes it easy to slip into and out of when you’re feeling horny. It’s also compatible with all of Hismith’s other products via their Cliclok mechanism and can be paired with a suction cup for hands-free masturbation.
For a more intense masturbation session, try the Cobra Libre II. This powerful toy has a 3.5” canal-like canal that wraps around the tip of the penis and is packed with vibration patterns and speeds for mind blowing orgasms. It’s also USB-rechargeable, splashproof and has a detachable suction cup for hands-free use.
And if you’re looking for something a little more high-tech, Lelo’s F1S V2 is the sex toy of the moment. It’s fully customisable with app control and features a ribbed inner canal, plus offers post-use analytics to help you improve your IRL encounters.
