Male Sex Toys: Boost Your Pleasure

Given that, on average, men masturbate weekly, it makes sense to invest in your personal sexual pleasure.

Fleshlights are easily the most popular masturbator on the market; even if you’ve never bought one, you’ve probably heard the name. However, they get a bit of side-eye judgement because some people see them as ‘porn stars in a can’.

If that puts you off the idea, I have good news for you. Neutral masturbators exist and come in all kinds of designs. Tenga, my favourite Japanese company besides Nintendo, lead the way with their entry-level disposable eggs, so you can experiment with textured tugs before committing to something more expensive.

What you’re left with is sex, or at the very least, your solo sessions, which are visual experiences rather than touch. Toys are texture-based, so they re-centre your sexual pleasure around yourself.

Plus, you can use blow job masturbators with a partner! You’d be surprised how often people forget that. If your partner doesn’t like performing oral sex, a warming masturbator can provide a lifelike replica they’ll be happy to use on you. There are also double-ended masturbators you can use during a blow job to extend the sensation of depth – super helpful if your partner has a sensitive gag reflex or you happen to be exceptionally blessed.

Unsurprisingly penis pumps don’t jump to mind when you’re thinking of sex toys. Instead, they tend to lurk amongst medical necessity and the stigma associated with impotence or small penis size. However, these powerful suction devices are incredibly pleasurable as well.

They work by creating a vacuum that draws blood into your penis, the same way that cupping works on muscles. However, rather than providing a constant draw, a pulsing pattern creates a sucking sensation that feels good. Some automatic pumps now include a pattern setting because of this.

Besides the obvious benefits for those living with erectile dysfunction (ED), pumps can prolong your penile health. Just as a bicep will shrink without training, the penis may shrink as a result of disuse atrophy. While this predominantly affects people with other conditions, giving your gentleman sausage a quick maintenance check can’t hurt.

Some people even use pumps on their balls, but I wouldn’t recommend this (it’s not worth the trauma). To avoid getting stuck, opt instead for something smaller, like a suction vibrator, or shallower such as the Plumper pussy pump.

The prostate, or P-spot, is sometimes called the male G-spot. This little gland sits at the base of the penis and is an often ignored root of sexual pleasure. There’s nothing gay about prostate play, so put that out of your head. It’s just another way of achieving orgasm. In cases where ED has resulted in complete impotence, it can be the only way to climax!

It might seem intimidating, but you don’t have to involve anal penetration to enjoy prostate stimulation. Between your scrotum and anus, there is a soft spot called the perineum. Massaging here while stroking your cock can feel amazing. So, imagine what it would feel like if you held a vibrator to it – especially if it’s textured.

The tissue around the anus is full of nerve endings, too, so don’t forget to tease there too. Then, if you want to, you can explore deeper. If you’re curious, I’ve already written a guide to finding your P-spot and how to massage it.

To stimulate your P-spot internally, you can’t go wrong with a prostate massager. There are all kinds: thin ones that are best for beginners, vibrating ones, rotating ones, and inflatable ones. You get the idea. The possibilities are endless, and you can find the specific stimulation that suits you.
