Sex Toys For Men

Let’s break down the most common categories you’ll encounter when shopping for male pleasure products:

Male Masturbators

These are probably what most people think of first when discussing male sex toys. From simple strokers to elaborate Fleshlights, these devices simulate various orifices and sensations.

What makes masturbators so popular is their variety. Some feature realistic designs modeled after body parts, while others take a more abstract approach with futuristic designs. Many include textures inside—ridges, bumps, and swirls—that create sensations impossible to replicate with a hand.

One customer review I found mentioned: “Man, all I can say is wow! So much better than using my hand… I couldn’t believe the explosive orgasm I had.”

Some masturbators even self-lubricate or include vibration functions, taking the experience to another level.

Penis Rings

Don’t underestimate these simple-looking toys. Penis rings work by fitting snugly around the base of your shaft, restricting blood flow out of the penis. This can lead to:

• Firmer erections
• Increased staying power
• Enhanced sensitivity

Many modern penis rings include vibrating elements that stimulate both you and your partner during sex. They’re particularly popular for couples because they benefit both parties.

As one user put it: “It feels great for me and my boyfriend. Not to mention him being rock hard. It’s totally awesome!”

Prostate Massagers

Here’s where many men are missing out. The prostate (sometimes called the male G-spot) can produce intense orgasms when properly stimulated. Prostate massagers are curved devices designed to reach this walnut-sized gland through the rectum.

Despite some hesitation some guys might feel, prostate play is becoming increasingly mainstream—and for good reason. The sensations can be incredibly powerful, and some men report having whole-body orgasms from prostate stimulation alone.

Modern prostate toys often include vibration patterns and remote controls for ease of use.

Penis Pumps

These devices use vacuum pressure to draw blood into the penis, creating a temporary increase in size. While primarily designed as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, many men use them recreationally for the sensation and temporary enhancement.

Penis Extensions and Sleeves

These fit over your natural penis to add length, girth, or texture. They’re popular both for solo use and with partners.

One particularly enthusiastic review noted: “Be prepared bc the pics don’t do this thing justice…it’s HUGE… BUT it 100% does what it says it will and from the first time we used it I heard the most amazing sounds from my girlfriend.”

Let’s look at how some of the most popular categories compare:

I still remember buying my first sex toy—the confusion, the questions, the slight embarrassment. If you’re in that position now, here’s my advice:

1. Start simple: Don’t invest in the most elaborate device right away. A basic stroker or penis ring is a good entry point.

2. Consider your goals: Are you looking to enhance masturbation? Add something to partnered sex? Experience new sensations? Your goals should guide your purchase.

3. Check the materials: Silicone, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), and ABS plastic are common materials. Silicone is non-porous and easiest to clean, while TPE feels more realistic but requires more maintenance.

4. Read reviews: Real customer experiences can tell you a lot about what to expect.

5. Think about discretion: If privacy is a concern, consider the size, noise level, and appearance of the toy.

Let’s be honest—there’s still some stigma around men using sex toys. Some guys worry it means they can’t “get the real thing” or that it’s somehow less masculine.

I think this is total nonsense.

Sex toys are tools for pleasure, exploration, and even better health. Using them shows you’re open-minded about your sexuality and interested in maximizing your pleasure. That sounds pretty confident to me.

Plus, many couples are incorporating male toys into their shared experiences. A vibrating cock ring or a sleeve can add new dimensions to partnered sex that benefit everyone involved.

Speaking of partners, let’s talk about how these toys can enhance your shared experiences:

• Penis rings can provide clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex
• Extensions can add variety without bringing another person into the bedroom
• Masturbators can be used by a partner during foreplay
• Prostate toys can be controlled by a partner for a new kind of intimacy

I’ve heard from many couples that introducing toys helped them communicate better about desires and preferences. It opens up conversations about pleasure that might otherwise never happen.

Nothing kills the mood faster than a health issue or a broken toy. Here’s how to keep everything safe and functional:

Cleaning

Always clean your toys according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Generally:

• Non-porous materials (silicone, glass, metal) can be washed with mild soap and warm water
• Porous materials (TPE, rubber) need more careful cleaning and won’t last as long
• Electronic components usually can’t be submerged—use a damp cloth instead

Lube Compatibility

This is crucial:

• Silicone toys + silicone lube = damaged toy
• Water-based lube works with almost everything
• Oil-based lubes can damage latex and some other materials

Storage

Store your toys in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Many high-end toys come with storage pouches—use them!

The days of having to visit a seedy shop in the bad part of town are long gone. Today, you have options:

• Online retailers like EXSHA offer discreet shipping and billing
• Mainstream sites like Amazon sell basic toys (though quality control can be an issue)
• Specialty boutiques offer curated selections and knowledgeable staff

What I appreciate about dedicated retailers like EXSHA is the attention to quality and discretion. They understand their customers’ concerns and address them proactively.

Most reputable retailers offer discreet shipping in plain packages and billing statements that don’t mention adult products.

Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you might want to explore more advanced options:

App-Controlled Devices

Many newer toys connect to smartphone apps, allowing for customized experiences or long-distance control by a partner.

Warming Features

Some high-end masturbators include warming functions to more closely mimic body temperature.

Automatic Movements

Beyond vibration, some toys include thrusting, rotating, or milking motions that create more complex sensations.

The male pleasure product industry is growing rapidly, with innovations appearing regularly. I’m particularly excited about:

• Integration with VR and interactive content
• More sophisticated pressure and movement sensors
• Improved materials that more accurately mimic human skin

As technology advances, the line between virtual experiences and physical sensations continues to blur, creating possibilities that would have seemed like science fiction just a decade ago.

After all this information, you might still be wondering which toy is right for you. Here’s my practical advice:

1. Set a budget before you start shopping
2. Identify your primary interest (realistic sensation, new experiences, enhanced performance, etc.)
3. Start with one versatile toy rather than multiple specialized ones
4. Check return policies (though most retailers don’t accept returns on used intimate products)
5. Remember that preferences evolve — what interests you now might change as you explore

I remember when male pleasure products were barely discussed and often hidden behind counters in adult stores. Now? They’re becoming mainstream, with sleek designs and advanced technology that rivals any other consumer electronics.

The stigma around men using sex toys is fading fast. More guys are realizing that these products aren’t just for solo sessions but can enhance partnered experiences too. As someone who’s watched this market grow, I can tell you the innovation happening right now is nothing short of revolutionary.

Are male sex toys safe?

Yes, when used as directed and made from body-safe materials. Stick to reputable brands and retailers.

Will using toys decrease sensitivity over time?

Not when used in moderation. If you’re concerned, vary your routine and don’t always use the highest settings on vibrating toys.

Can I use male sex toys if I have erectile dysfunction?

Absolutely. In fact, some toys like penis pumps are specifically designed to help with ED. Penis rings can also help maintain erections.

How do I introduce the idea of toys to my partner?

Start with a conversation about exploring new pleasures together. Emphasize that toys are an addition to your sex life, not a replacement for your partner.

How long do male sex toys typically last?

Quality toys made from silicone can last years with proper care. Budget toys from porous materials might need replacement after months of regular use.
