How to Choose the Best Male Masturbation Toys

When it comes to sex toys for men, the market is vast and ever-changing. Whether you’re looking for a vibrating masturbator toy that feels like a vagina or something to hump, there’s something out there that will tickle your fancy. But if you’re new to the world of male masturbation, it can be hard to know where to start. So we spoke to sex expert and author of The Sexual Power of Touch, Dr. Zachary Lehmiller, who gave us some tips on how to choose the best male masturbation toys for your needs.

He says the first step is to decide what you want your sex toy to do for you. “If you’re just looking for a basic masturbator toy, look for one that has a squishy texture and is easy to clean,” he says. “Avoid textured toys that are hard to wash, as they can harbor bacteria.”

Lehmiller also recommends a little research on the different types of masturbation toy material available. “The best masturbation toys are made from materials that do a good job of mimicking the feeling of human skin,” he says. “Look for a soft, stretchy material that can offer a variety of sensations.”

And the best male masturbators?

If you’re looking for a hands-free masturbation toy that offers a lot of options, we recommend the Fleshlight Launch or the Fleshlight Onyx2. Both have a squishy silicone material with lots of ridges and grooves that will feel amazing against your shaft. Plus they’re water-proof, which makes cleaning them so much easier.

Another great option is the THRUST Katya, which has two holes that mimic a realistic-looking vagina and tight asshole. This is a hands-free toy that can be used alone or with a partner. The sleeve has a ribbed interior, a realistic entrance and a mouth that opens and closes to create a wide range of stimulations. It has a 6.5 inch insertable length and a waterproof finish that’s allergy-free and easy to clean.

When choosing a male masturbator, it’s important to check the toy’s dimensions and consider your own size. It may be tempting to go for the longest masturbator on the market, but Lehmiller warns that bigger isn’t always better. In fact, if the toy fits too loosely or too tightly around your penis, it can actually be uncomfortable and make it harder for you to stroke your shaft.

Once you’ve got the right sex toy for you, it’s time to try out some different techniques. Start by stroking your shaft up and down, but don’t forget to add pressure in between strokes. Also, don’t be afraid to move your index finger around a bit, trying different positions that feel good to you. And if you have some good VR pornography to pair it with, that’s always a fun extra. Just be sure to use a good amount of lubricant and take it slow. You don’t want to overdo it or you could lose your erection!
