Sex toys for men have become increasingly more popular over the years.
For the longest time, these pleasurable little devices were seen as only used by women.
Although this may be how sex toys (like the first-ever electric vibrator) first came about, we are long past women being the only ones who get to enjoy them.
There is still a large stigma around men using sex toys, while women are revered for their empowering use of these toys.
We are here to break through that barrier and provide all of you who are new to this world, a beginners guide on sex toys for men, to make you feel more confident and empowered, and less embarrassed around this topic.
What Are Men’s Sex Toys
Men’s sex toys come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colours.
While some are designed specifically for men to use and enjoy, you also get sex toys such as dildos, butt plugs and anal beads that can be used across genders.
Sex toys for men can usually be split between two broad categories:
Masturbators, dildos, prostate massagers, and butt plugs/ anal beads increase your pleasure, while penis enlargers, cock rings, and penis enhancers increase your sexual performance.
Why Men Should Use Adult Sex Toys
Men should use adult sex toys for the very reason of claiming their sexuality and sexual health in confidence.
Unfortunately, for some men, it’s still very hard for them to talk about masturbation or their sexuality and not feel embarrassed or ashamed.
Women are celebrated and encouraged to express their sexuality, but for men, this is still a work in progress.
Studies have found that 45% of men aged between 18-65 years had used a vibrator and that the use of this could be associated with improved sexual function.
They also found that men who used sex toys were more likely to participate in sexual health-promoting practices such as testicular examinations.
These men also scored themselves higher on satisfaction levels of erectile dysfunction, intercourse satisfaction, orgasmic function, and sexual desire.
It has been recommended by Dr Michael Werner MD, a urologist and specialist in sexual dysfunction, that sex toys play a vital role in erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment, which includes: penis pumps, cock rings, and vibrators used on the penis.
Having orgasms are good for you! We repeat, orgasms are good for you – so have as many as you can.
Studies have shown that men who ejaculate often have a much lower risk of developing prostate cancer.
Now that’s a reason to get masturbating if we ever heard one! Reduce stress and tension through masturbation and toys, NOW!
When we engage in any form of sexual pleasure, we produce dopamine and release endorphins in the brain, hormones that makes us feel good. Both of these impact our blood pressure by lowering it.
There is this large misconception that the use of a sex toy will replace real sex, and this couldn’t be more untrue.
In fact, it’s quite the contrary. Using sex toys allows you to get to know your body on a deeper, more intimate level, which can make you a better lover – um yes, please!
It can improve sexual relationships. Masturbation and use of toys can help when one partner may require more sex than the other.
It can also help couples open up, and get you to explore the most pleasurable ways of satisfying each other sexually.
They can be enjoyed solo or with a partner making your bedroom antics even steamier. It’s also perfect for foreplay and getting each other aroused and revving for more.
With the use of adult sex toys, men can also learn how to delay ejaculation, remain hard after orgasm, and have multiple orgasms.
The Main Types of Sex Toys for Men
Male Masturbators
Male masturbators are meant to replicate as closely as possible the sensations of penetrative sex during masturbation.
These devices have more texture, and some come in the form of a molded vagina — like the ever-popular Fleshlight! The Fleshlight is said to be one of the best sex toys for men!
They provide better sensations than using your hands and are also brilliant training aids for actual sex.
Prostate Massagers
Prostate massagers are sex toys that have been specifically designed to massage and stimulate the prostate.
The prostate is located underneath the bladder and can be reached through the anus, where the massager is inserted.
These orgasms have been found to be even more intense than the standard penis stimulated orgasms.
Also known as the male “G-spot” or “P-spot”, massaging this area will provide increased stimulation and stronger orgasms.
Many men experience intense, long-lasting, even multiple orgasms and intense ejaculation when their prostate is massaged.
By regularly massaging the prostate, you can relax tension and stress in the muscles and nerve endings in that area.
Regular prostate massage can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer and genital pain by improving blood circulation and cleansing the prostate.
You can flush out any stagnant prostate fluid when having a prostate orgasm, it’s this fluid which can often cause swelling of the prostate, so by doing this you can potentially avoid the need for surgery.
Prostate massage can additionally ease the symptoms of hemorrhoids and anal fissures.
You’ll find that some prostate massagers offer vibration for added pleasure.
Now the idea of sticking something into your butt can be scary, but let’s agree the juice is definitely worth the squeeze here.
Male Vibrators
Male vibrators are sex toys that are specifically designed to stimulate the male erogenous zones with a series of intense vibrating and pulsating motions.
Some vibrators are specially designed to reach the male g-spot and stimulate the prostate, as well as be used alone or with a partner.
Cock Rings
Cock rings or penis rings are worn around the base of the penis to constrict blood flow so that erections last longer, which can intensify orgasms.
Make sure not to wear them for more than 15-20 minutes.
These often discreet looking toys are great for dealing with erectile dysfunction & premature ejaculation, and they can also make your penis look harder and bigger than usual thanks to all the extra blood.
During partner intercourse, vibrating models will add some extra stimulation to the clitoris and the shaft.
Plus, cock rings are perfect for extra stimulation while using them with other masturbators or anal toys.
Butt Plugs
While butt plugs are not as precise as prostate toys, they do have so many of their own pros.
The anus comprises of so many sensitive nerve endings, and by using a butt plug you can really intensify your sexual experience.
Use them to train yourself to be more comfortable with anal sex. They are also great hands-free toys that can be worn for long periods of time.

Dildos
Dildos are phallic-shaped sex toys that come in all sorts of shapes, colors, and sizes.
Some of them can be very realistic looking, while others are less phallic looking. Whatever your preference, there’s a dildo out there for you.
Most dildos will also fit in a strap-on harness, so these toys are perfect for pegging.
Some dildos even come equipped with suction cup bases making them completely hands-free.
They’re perfect for a more realistic experience during anal penetration, as well as being great for playing out threesome fantasies with a partner.
Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are designed to maximise the size of the girth, length, or hardness of a man’s erection.
Besides just getting bigger in size, these devices are a great way to improve sexual performance and prolong erections.
Penis pumps often come in the form of a cylinder or tube with a pump attached. The cylinder creates a strong, stimulating vacuum causing the penis to expand when pumped.
Penis Extenders
Penis extenders, cock sleeves, or cock sheaths are often made of plastic or rubber and are designed to be placed over the shaft of the penis in order to add extra length and girth.
They can enhance sexual activity and allow for deeper penetration.
The three main reasons someone would use a penis extender:
- To make the penis look and feel bigger
- To help deal with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
- So that they can add up to one to three inches onto the end of their penis and provide additional stimulation to their partner.
