Love | Best Male Masturbator reviewed: Give Your Hand a Break

Male sex toys are more varied and widely available now than they were even just a few years ago. There are strokers, such as Fleshlights and the like, but there’s also penis vibrators, frenulum massagers, and machines meant to replicate the sensation of a blowjob, to name just a few subcategories. If you’ve never investigated the options available to you, maybe now’s the time to expand your pleasure possibilities.

A heads up: Most of these toys are gonna need to be lubed up to feel good. A water-based lube is going to be your best bet because it can be used with any toy material, and it’ll make each of these toys feel that much better on you.

Also, while this category of toys is often referred to as “male masturbators,” really these toys can be used by anyone with a penis, including some trans and nonbinary people, for self-pleasure or play with someone else. Some require erections and some don’t, and some will work better for certain sizes than others. But for the most part, if you have a dick, you can use these eight wonderful male masturbators.

The Best Overall : Fleshlight Pink Lady Destroya

Fleshlight is still the biggest name in the world of penis toys, in part because their soft and squishy SuperSkin material feels so damn realistic, offering some of the most lifelike simulated sex ever. This model contains a variety of different textures to stimulate different parts of your dick.

Cheap option : Tenga Egg Wavy II

Don’t want to commit to a pricier masturbator incase you don’t like it? At just $7 a pop, Tenga’s disposable egg-shaped masturbators are a great way to test the waters. You can get 4-5 uses out of each one, provided you rinse it out well between sessions.

The Best to Use With a Partner: Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage

Since this stroker is open-ended on both sides, a partner can give you oral sex while using it on the base of your penis, for an ultra-intense combination of sensations. It’s also smaller than most Fleshlights, so it’s relatively discreet. Cleanup is easy too, since all it needs is a little sudsing up with warm water and soap.

Upgrade for Your Hand: Fleshlight Fleshskins Grip

Setting aside its unappetizing name, this might just be the best option if you want a toy that improves upon, but doesn’t completely change, your usual playtime of hand-on-junk action. It offers the soft squishiness and super-stimulating texture of a Fleshlight, but you control the speed and tightness with your hand the way you normally do.

Vibrating one: Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo Essential

This high-quality toy is designed to vibrate against your frenulum (the hyper-sensitive spot where the head of your penis meets the shaft on the underside) and the surrounding area. Its powerful vibrations are fun for solo play, foreplay, couple’s play, and the six vibration patterns offering different sensations for tons of fun.

Warming Satisfyer Men Heat Vibration

The temperature of a sex toy can make a big difference in how good it feels and how much it resembles the sensations of real-deal sex, which is why it’s so nifty that this vibrating stroker heats up to a max temperature of 104° Fahrenheit. It’s pretty shallow inside, though, so (depending on your length) it’ll work best if you like to focus on the head of your penis instead of the whole shaft. It’s rechargeable through a USB cable, and the body-safe silicone is super smooth and hygienic.

Self-Stroking : The Handy

This toy is basically a handjob machine: it controls an included stroker and allows you to adjust the tightness of its grip, as well as the speed and length of its strokes. Beginners will absolutely love this thing—it can reach speeds of up to 600 strokes per minute, so it’s definitely an upgrade from what your hand can do.

Hands-Free: Lovense Gush

You can wrap this flexible vibrator around your dick wherever it feels the best, and keep it in place using the stretchy ring that comes with it. The toy connects to the Lovense app, which allows you to control its vibrations with your phone, or even let a long-distance partner take the wheel.
