In a world where variety is the spice of life, the realm of sex toys offers a treasure trove of pleasure options tailored to individual preferences. With 74% of men in the U.S. owning a sex toy, it’s clear that many are on the hunt for their perfect bedside companion. But with so many choices available, how do you select the right one?
Read on, we’ve put together a short guide to some of the best sex toys for men, and what each brings to the party.
The Most Popular Sex Toys For Men
If the number of times that folk search for ‘the best sex toys for men’ and advice on the various options is any guide, you’re probably going to be in the market for:
- Cock Rings
- ‘Masturbation Sleeves’ (also known as strokers)
- Prostate Massagers
- Butt Plugs
With that in mind, let’s delve a little deeper into why each of these appears on the ‘best sex toys for men’ list, and why you should be investing your hard-earned cash in a particular type of toy.
Of course, there’s always the option to invest in one (or more) of each; after all, variety is the spice of life.
All About Cock Rings
The penis (or cock) ring fits around the base of the penis or scrotum and constricts the blood flow out of the erect penis. The result is rock-hard and (possibly as importantly), long-lasting erections.
These sex aids are among the most popular with men across the world for two very good reasons:
- They’re simple to use.
- They work.
Cock rings are often used by men that suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), which includes an inability to maintain an erection until climax. These ‘bands’ can also help control premature ejaculation. Both of these issues can wreak havoc on any man’s self-confidence and place strain on couples, not only in their bedroom gymnastics but in their overall relationship.
That’s one of the attractions of cock rings. Not only do these sex toys ensure that erections are rock hard, but they can also delay orgasms (and in many cases intensify them) in men. They can also be rewarding for both parties.
Cock rings have established their reputation as one of the best sex toys for men because not only do they enhance male pleasure and build self-confidence, but they also provide a more fulfilling experience for both partners—and are fabulous at providing those engaged in solo play explosive orgasms.
Cock Rings Are Great For:
Longer lasting, stronger erections, couples play, intense orgasms
Our Recommendation:
The best cock ring will have added features such as vibration options. This adds to male pleasure—and is fabulous for clit stimulation as well.
Sustain from Dude Dept. boasts 9 modes and vibration patterns, making it a wonderful addition to cock-based bedroom activity. It’s made from medical-grade silicone, and it can also be charged via USB (please, not at the office).
This high-quality cock ring is 1.5 inches in circumference and 2.2 inches across when stretched, but don’t worry, Sustain should suit most men.
All About Masturbation Sleeves (Strokers)
The alternative name for Masturbation Sleeves, ‘Strokers,’ neatly sums up how these great sex toys for men are used. Basically, insert and go to town.
There are an enormous number of variants of this popular sex toy. There are models with motor-powered sleeves featuring different vibration nodes—and then there are the models that have stood the test of time, thanks to their simplicity, ease of use—and their ability to produce Earth-shattering orgasms.
Use for:
For a elevated and intense masturbation experience.
Our Recommendation:
Opt for the incredible Stride which ups the ante when it comes to male strokers. This stylishly designed sex sleeve is incredibly quiet to use, doesn't need batteries, and relies on air pressure to deliver exquisite sensations.
Those orgasmic sensations are due to a luxuriously textured, silky-soft, and pliable silicone sleeve that uses natural suction to tighten as you enter it, and air pressure valves that keep the suction action intense.
Six strategically placed openings in the sleeve of the Stride allow you to restrict and allow airflow to meet your unique needs. The result of a strategically placed finger is nothing short of spectacular.
All About Prostate Massagers
Butt stuff was taboo for the longest time, but thankfully it’s now become mainstream and even trendy. That’s good news for men and women—and for men in search of the ultimate orgasm, it means that they now have an enormous choice when it comes to popular prostate massagers.
These toys have been specifically designed to stimulate the prostate—a gland that is packed to the brim with nerve endings. The orgasms experienced through prostate stimulation are so intense that the prostate has earned the nickname ‘The Male G-Spot’ (or ‘P-Spot’), providing men with levels of pleasure that have been compared to the female orgasm.
Use for:
For mind-blowing backdoor solo play or with a partner.
Our Recommendation:
Always check that the prostate massager you are considering has the right design to ensure it reaches the right places (in this case, your prostate). That means a sensuously curved shaft and a bulbous head. For the best effect, your prostate massager should have some added extras, like vibration functions and various stimulation modes.
The Dude Dept Collection features some of the most stylish, ergonomically designed, orgasm-inducing prostate massagers that are available today.
All About Prostate Massagers For Beginners:
The Prime Roller Prostate Massager is perfect for those who are interested in the new sensations and pleasures that are part and parcel of prostate massage. It’s not as intimidating as many of the larger prostate massagers, but check under the hood and you’ll find a massager that has it all.
The Prime is only 3 inches long (said to be the perfect length by those in the know) and 1 inch wide. But dynamite comes in small(ish) packages. This prostate massager has 10-speed vibration, and perhaps most importantly, the ‘rolling’ motion supplied by the rolling pleasure ball mimics the ‘come hither’ motion which has been responsible for so many incredible prostate orgasms.
Prostate Massager For the Adventurous:
For those who want that ‘fuller’ feeling or want to explore new heights of pleasure, then the ‘hands-free’ remote control Apex prostate massager will tick all the right boxes.
This prostate massager has been designed by experts to ensure that it stays in place—and reaches all the right places. Tantalize your prostate with 10 remote-controlled pulse patterns and a 360° rotating base (with perineum stimulation design) for extra control and pleasure.
All About Butt Plugs
Butt plugs have been part and parcel of sexual play for literally hundreds, if not thousands of years. The reason that people have stuck with the evergreen butt plug as part of their sex toy armory is simple—they feel incredible to use for both men and women.
For men, this is another toy that can stimulate the prostate (although for the ultimate orgasm, a Prostate Massager still rules the roost), but it also has the added advantage of being perfect for men and women—and couple’s activity.
Use For:
For incredible solo play, with a partner, new sensations, intense anal orgasms, and the exquisite possibility of a ‘blended,’ multi-erogenous zone (clitoral/vaginal/penile & anal) orgasm.
Our Recommendation:
Anchor from Dude Dept has it all. This petite and sleek remote-controlled vibrating butt plug (delivering hands-free pleasure!) is 4.5 inches (insertable length) and 1.5 inches at the widest, making it perfect for newcomers to anal play.
Anchor’s perfectly tapered design is ideal for easy insertion, and the 10 satisfying massage modes, delivered by two motors (one in the base and one in the shaft), ensure that you can choose your own adventure.
