As much as anyone, men deserve to enjoy the endless benefits of masturbation, and these adult toys can help get you there. Read on for the best sex toys for men, and you’ll be on your way to experiencing all types of pleasure. First, you’ll want to always make sure you are purchasing sex toys from reputable companies—and don’y always assume higher price tags equate to quality. Kort busts this myth, saying, “Sometimes a $20 sex toy can give you more pleasure than a $100 sex toy.” Instead of reaching for the highest price tag, assess the shape and material, and how it feels against your skin. You’ll also want to pay attention to the levels of intensity it provides, along with the basic functionality. For example: do you want a vibrating toy, r are you more focused on texture? Lastly, Kort recommends always saving the receipt—and if the toy comes with a warranty, don’t forget to register the device before use. The MANTA vibrating stroker comes with a loop handle that’s easy to hold, and it fits around the shaft for your stroking pleasure or focused sensation. With ridges that hold lube (better glide!) and a motor that vibrates along your penis, you can enjoy this sex toy to simulate the feeling of a warm handjob or deep blowjob. Stewart says this should be the “go-to toy” for anyone who wants to enjoy a deeper and stronger sensation as they masturbate, adding that “This can also make you come over and over and over again in the same session.” Sounds like this one is worth the investment—and reviewers agree. One says, “I’ve never been a huge fan of strokers, but I find myself obsessed with the Arcwave. The stimulation you get from the sleeve and vibration is other wordly. It’s all I’m using and I am recommending it to everyone. For real. Simple, straightforward, and fun. It helped me to an killer climax. Can’t wait to use it again and again.” “The fact that you can pair it with your favorite porn and align the strokes accordingly gets you dangerously close to virtual reality masturbation,” says Stewart. If that’s not your style, remove this masturbator’s detachable textured sleeve and create your own pleasure. “Although some folks think this toy is a bit noisy, this is a phenomenal toy for its interactive experience alone,” says Stewart. While some reviewers wish this toy was a bit quieter and more compact, the feedback is mainly positive, with most shoppers raving about how easy it is to use, and the powerful orgasms it helps them achieve. One writes, “Easy fit and control. Works like a charm. I really didn’t expect it to work this good.” With over 200 reviews on the Lovehoney website, this toy has a near-perfect rating. While a few reviewers do say it isn’t great for solo use, multiple people say this gives the “strongest orgasm” they have ever seen. Now, if you’re at a more intermediate level with anal play, “The Lelo Loki Wave is great,” says Marin, noting that it’s known for “incredible prostate play.” With adjustable power across 10 stimulation modes, the LOKI luxury sex toy was designed and shaped to provide immeasurable pleasure and stimulation both externally and internally. Its two motors target your prostate and perineum, and the stimulator moves back and forth against your prostate, pushing you closer and closer to an orgasm. Look at it this way: “Although spit can be great, lube can outlast it anytime,” she says. To experience boosted sensations and increased stimulation, Geter recommends high-end luxury lubricant Überlube, which is designed to transfer sensation while reducing friction. You can also try Kort’s pick, Trojan Arouses and Releases lubricant, which has both warming and cooling sensations. Rather than stand up, Kort says to lie on your back; and if you like to sit, stand up. You also can push your hips forward or elevate them with a pillow. Here’s the benefit: “Changing positions can improve your pelvic floor muscles’ resting tone, which improves blood flow to your penis.” Plus, if you find yourself feeling desensitized to your own, Geter suggests trying a different hand, incorporating various types of erotica, or even putting on “a condom while masturbating for a different feel and sensation.” “Work yourself right up to the edge of ejaculation, then take a short break,” instructs Kort, “just long enough for your erection to soften a little.” Before you reach orgasm, start masturbating again, then repeat the edging process three or four times. (Here’s our full guide to edging.) To stimulate it, “use some lube and your fingers; it’s that simple.” And while you’re there, don’t forget your “other common erogenous zones such as the scrotum and perineum,” the expert reminds.

In addition to feathers, Kort also recommends smooth fabrics like silk to engage your senses. “Gently pass the fabric or feather over the sensitive areas of your penis, taint, scrotum, or even your nipples,” he explains. “Feather play can be very erotic!” The excitement of involving someone else can be explosive, says Kort, who tells mbg you can masturbate with a partner in person or via a Zoom or Skype session. You can even “try an app [or website] for some pre-masturbation sexting,” which is a great option for foreplay. In those heated, impatient moments when you want to pleasure yourself without a trip to a sex store or waiting for a package, there’s plenty to be inspired by in your own house. Sometimes that could be a showerhead or sock. It’s important to remember that the “correct way to clean sex toys depends on the type of material it’s made of,” reminds Kort. (Check out our guide to learn how to clean every type of sex toy.) For example, Stewart mentions that many penis masturbation toys aren’t made of silicone, so it’s necessary to have a toy cleaner. But even when they are silicone-made, cleaners are vital. “Only use an approved toy cleaner such as Sliquid Shine Toy Cleaner or the UVee Complete Care System,” says Geter. Otherwise, nonapproved cleaners might “break down the silicone, allowing for bacteria to grow”—which could easily transfer infections to you during masturbation. And for the times when you don’t have it in you to wash them after masturbation, Kort recommends to “use an unscented baby wipe for a quick cleanup, then wash it thoroughly before your next use.” Here are a few more of Kort’s tips to note to keep your sex toys clean:
