Sex is a lot of fun.
I don’t think there are many guys who would disagree with me on this one.
Unfortunately, even the best sex can get a bit stale over the long term.
One of the best ways to spice up your bedroom or enhance your masturbation is with male sex toys.
I’ve put together a guide to the best sex toys for men and reviewed some of the top products in each category.
Overall Best Sex Toy for Men
Picking a single best sex toy for men was incredibly difficult.
The market is vast and there are standout products in just about every field.
What it finally came down to was value and flexibility.
When it comes to those two attributes there’s only one toy that I’d go for:
Kiiroo Onyx +
Update: The Onyx + is the newer version of the Onyx 2. Kiiroo has made huge improvements to their best selling toy which is amazing news!
Kiiroo is an Amsterdam based robotics and sex toy company that’s really shaking up the market.
The Onyx + is an automatic male masturbator that provides truly hands free orgasms.
It uses 10 internal rings that move independently around your penis.
They contract and roll over you, simulating the feel of thrusting while you’re totally motionless.
You can choose from over 140 different motions, with varying levels of intensity and tightness.
That by itself would be pretty amazing but it’s just the smallest part of what makes the Onyx + so groundbreaking.
Kiiroo designed it to be fully IoT capable. It connects wirelessly to their app and through that to the internet.
You can pair the Onyx + with a variety of VR porn as well as other Kiiroo toys.
For those in a long distance relationship this can be a game changer.
You can control the pattern and intensity of your partner’s play while they tease and torment you in turn.
Sex Toy Basics
There are tons of different male sex toys out there these days.
Every category has specific features that make them great. For each kind of toy that’s going to vary a lot.
I’ll give a little more information on that in the reviews below.
Here I’ll just cover the bones of what makes a quality sex toy and give you some basic use and care advice.
Materials
Most modern sex toys are made from just a few materials:
These include silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), glass, and metal.
Silicone is generally accepted as the best and most widely used material for sex toys.
Silicone toys are more durable, easier to clean, and provide a convincingly lifelike sensation when you use them.
You’ll find silicone used in just about every type of sex toy.
TPE is another very popular material for male sex toys. It gives one of the most realistic simulations of sex and the human body possible.
The downside to TPE is that it’s much more absorbent than silicone.
As you use TPE it picks up the smells and any oils or other things it comes into contact with. Over time this causes it to break down.
Glass and metal are prized for their strength and durability.
Properly tempered and treated glass is nearly unbreakable and provides an interesting transparency when used in sex toys.
High quality glass toys can honestly be described as works of art.
Metal toys are nearly indestructible.
They look really nice and give you the option for all kinds of entertaining temperature play.
Most of the sex toys made from glass and metal will be of the penetrative type. Think dildos, plugs, prostate massagers, etc.
There are lots of other materials used for sex toys but the ones mentioned above are definitely the best.
If your toy has any kind of vibrator or other powered unit in it try and get a rechargeable version.
Almost across the board sex toys that are rechargeable will be of much higher quality than ones that use regular batteries.
Proper Use and Care
Really though, how hard is it to use a sex toy right?
From my experience, harder than you would expect.
Just about any sex toy will benefit from proper lubrication.
As a general rule you should only use water-based lubes on your toys.
Oil and silicone-based lubes will actually degrade a lot of the materials sex toys are made from.
Metal and glass toys are the exception of course. These work just fine with any type of lubricant.
So you’ve enjoyed your fully lubed toy, now what?
Cleanup.
Aftercare is very important, especially if you have higher-end male sex toys.
Make sure to give them a good rinse with warm water to start with.
For things like fleshlights or pocket pussies double check that you’ve gotten the inside of them completely clean.
As with anything that comes into contact with bodily fluids it’s important you deep clean your toys regularly.
Every week or so you should give them a thorough cleaning with an approved sex toy cleaner and sterilizer.
This helps prevent anything nasty from building up or growing on them.
Pricing
Mens sex toys vary wildly in price.
You can spend anywhere from $5 to $500 dollars depending on what you’re looking for and what level of quality you want.
Some high-end sex dolls can actually run more than $10,000.
For most products though you’ll be able to get a reasonable mid level toy for around $50-$100.
It won’t be the fanciest one on the market but it also won’t fall apart on you.
Fleshlights
Fleshlight is an extremely popular brand of male masturbator.
They helped reinvigorate the category back in the early 90’s and have been an innovative force in the market ever since.
How to Use a Fleshlight
Using a fleshlight is pretty easy to figure out:
Lube it up and stick it in.
I joke of course, but that really is just about all there is to it.
Apply water-based lubricant generously and then insert your penis into the opening.
Some models will also allow you to adjust the vacuum effect with a screw cap on the back of the fleshlight.
Choosing the Perfect Fleshlight
With Fleshlight brand masturbators you’re always assured of quality.
Picking the best one really comes down to what kind of sensations you want to experience and what you want it to look like.
How you want to use your fleshlight also counts. Some models are more portable than others.
Design, Texture, and Styling
This is what really counts with a fleshlight.
The company offers dozens of different anatomical and non-anatomical openings.
Some are designed to simulate blowjobs, vaginal sex, anal sex, and even just intense suction.
Once you’ve picked out the opening you can choose from dozens of different nub, rib, and texture sleeves to up the sensation.
There are even models designed just to train your stamina for sex with a partner.
Sizing and Portability
I hear this one a lot from particularly well-endowed guys:
Will I be able to use this toy?
Rest easy:
Just about anyone can use just about any fleshlight quite well.
As long as you’re not actually hung like a horse you’ll fit in just fine and get a lot of pleasure out of it.
You may not be able to insert your penis all the way in, but you’ll still get a ton of stimulation on your head and shaft.
Sizing usually refers more to portability and packability.
Guys who travel frequently often like to bring a fleshlight with them.
Having one that’s travel sized is very beneficial.
The Flight Pilot
The Flight Pilot is an upgraded take on the original Fleshlight.
It combines intense sensations with a more ergonomic, travel friendly design.
It’s smaller than many other fleshlights but still gives you an incredible amount of pleasure.
One thing I really liked about the Flight Pilot was its non-anatomical opening.
It lets you close your eyes and live out any fantasy you desire.
You could be receiving a blowjob from a beautiful beach bunny, or enjoying anal sex with your favorite porn star.
The inner sleeve gives you several different textures as you thrust yourself into it. This allows you to mix up your pleasure and change how you play each session.
Cleanup with the Flight Pilot is a breeze. Simply remove the internal sleeve from its case and rinse it thoroughly.
Pocket Pussies
Pocket pussy is a generic term for all male masturbators.
They refer to both vaginal shaped toys and other varieties.
It’s a much wider category than fleshlights as it includes products from dozens of other companies.
How to Use a Pocket Pussy
Using a pocket pussy is very similar to using a fleshlight.
Apply water-based lube to your penis and the toy and enjoy.
If you really want to heighten your pleasure heat it up a bit in warm water before you begin.
Depending on the pocket pussy you purchase you’ll have options like vaginal, anal, and oral sex plus mounts and other neat extras.
Choosing the Perfect Pocket Pussy
Pocket pussies come in a variety of styles and shapes.
You can get them in any conceivable orifice and soft vs hard shell design.
Some are even one-time use and pre-lubricated for easy play while travelling or at home.
Design and Styling
The first thing to consider is what kind of opening you want.
After that you should think about how intense of an experience you’re looking for.
High intensity models will have lots of little nubs, fingers, and ribs throughout.
Some will even have a specialized opening or separated pleasure zones throughout their interior.
Price and Extras
Pocket pussies aren’t super expensive.
You can expect to get a high-quality one for well under $100.
If you’re willing to spend a little more you can pick out all sorts of extra features and addons.
Some will have mounting systems and even vibrators to increase your pleasure.
Cyberskin Stealth Dual Ended Stroker
The Stealth Stroker from Cyberskin has a really interesting design.
Instead of a single opening for play plus a suction cap, it has two different openings.
One is a set of luscious lips ready to suck you in while the other is an equally enticing vagina ready to be stretched.
This basically gives you two pocket pussies for the price of one.
Each end has a different texture pattern going in and lets you experience markedly different sensations.
Even better, the Cyberskin Stealth Stroker comes with a suction style shower mount. This lets you enjoy hands free play in the shower, simulating hot and steamy shower sex.
It comes in a stealthy black tube that makes it very discreet when you aren’t using it.
Onaholes
Onaholes are basically male masturbators with an Asian flair.
Like fleshlights and pocket pussies they allow you to enhance your masturbation.
Honestly though, they tend to take it to the next level.
There’s an unbelievable variety of onahole types, styles, and designs available.
How to Use an Onahole
Onaholes work almost exactly like a pocket pussy.
The only real differences are the style of their inner sleeve textures and the availability of disposable onaholes that are pre lubricated.
This is much rarer for pocket pussies but makes up a significant portion of the onahole market.
Choosing the Perfect Onahole
Picking the onahole for you is all about its look and function.
You want something you’ll enjoy playing with that feels amazing.
Design, Styling, and Function
With onaholes picking a design can quickly get overwhelming.
There are plenty of fairly standard vaginal, oral, and anal models but that just scratches the surface.
You can get anime styled onaholes, non anatomical ones, and even ones designed after monsters and demons.
If you’ve always wanted to have sex with a mummy there’s an onahole for that.
The inside of an onahole is actually quite different from a pocket pussy or fleshlight.
Instead of textured nubs and ribs onahole makers go for maximum realism.
If you look at a cross section of many popular onaholes they actually look like the inside of a vagina.
There’s even some that perfectly replicate the feel of a mouth.
Price
Onaholes are one of the most affordable male sex toys to try out.
You can find disposable models for around $10 that give you an amazing experience.
If you find that you like them you can pick up a quality model that will last for under $100.
Meiki no Syoumei 05 Zhang Xiao Yu
Zhang Xiao Yu is one of the most popular Chinese nude models in the world.
The Meiki no Syoumei #05, known as the Meiki XYZ, perfectly replicates her soft pink vagina for you to enjoy.
It uses a unique dual material design to provide durability and ultimate softness.
The designers at NPG even built a G-spot into the Meiki XYZ to maximize the experience and realism.
It’s made from phthalate free PVC but is still incredibly soft and durable.
The Meiki XYZ is incredibly popular and honestly feels amazing. It’s also reasonably priced and widely available.
Cock Rings
Cock rings are a fun little toy used to increase your sexual stamina.
They work by slipping over your erect penis and slowing the outflow of blood. This allows you to keep your erection longer than you would naturally be able to achieve.
If you slip it over your balls as well it can slow down your orgasm and extend your play session.
A very serious warning though:
Never wear a cock ring for more than 30 minutes at a time. You can seriously damage your penis if you do, to the point where you may lose the ability to get an erection.
Choosing the Perfect Cock Ring
With cock rings there are just a few basic differences for the most part.
These come down to non vibrating vs vibrating rings and the size you need.
I only recommend you check out silicone cock rings.
It’s the best and safest material currently available.
Sizing
Sizing your cock ring really comes down to how you intend to use it.
If you just want it to go around your penis you should get a smaller, tighter ring.
If you’re looking for a full penis and balls ring it will have to be much stretchier and larger.
Some versions work with a sliding buckle system a lot like a bolo tie.
This lets you slip them on easily and tighten them up as you like.
Vibrating or Non Vibrating
Here’s where the fun really begins.
Non vibrating penis rings couldn’t be simpler. They slip on and help keep you hard, nothing else to them.
Vibrating rings work by adding additional stimulation, either to you or your partner.
Sometimes they’ll be above your penis to stimulate your partner’s clit or below it to stimulate your perineum.
It’s important to keep in mind though that a vibrating cock ring is significantly more expensive.
You can get a quality non vibrating cock ring for less than $10.
A vibrating one of quality will rarely cost less than $100.
We-Vibe Verge
The We-Vibe Verge is another in a long line of excellent products from this company.
They’re well known for releasing high-quality products that go a step beyond anything else on the market.
The Verge continues this tradition, combining an excellent penis and ball cock ring with a rechargeable vibrator.
The whole set up is a bit odd looking at first glance but feels amazing once you have it on.
You can either wear it vibe up to tease and stimulate your partner or flip it over to pulse your perineum.
The feature that really sets the Verge apart is its connectivity functions.
By pairing it to the We-Vibe smartphone app you can control the Verge remotely.
This lets you and a partner play from thousands of miles apart or right next to each other.
Overall a great product from a trusted manufacturer.
Penis Pumps
Penis pumps were originally created as medical devices for men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
In more recent times they’ve been used by guys who want to enhance the size and girth of their erections.
The jury’s out on whether penis pumps are effective in the long term, but they definitely get you hard fast when used properly.
How to Use a Penis Pump
Penis pumps work by producing a vacuum around your penis that forces blood into it.
Manufacturers claim that doing this regularly will increase the size of your penis up to several inches.
I can’t speak to that, but they definitely give you a very nice erection in a hurry.
When paired with a cock ring they’re a great stamina aid for long play sessions.
There are both air and water penis pumps, with the water pumps being higher quality and safer.
Choosing the Perfect Penis Pump
When looking at a penis pump it comes down to safety and ease of use.
You’re subjecting your favorite appendage to a vacuum:
It has to be 100% safe, all the time.
Make sure there’s a quick-release valve on any pump you’re considering.
How easy it is to set up and use your pump is also a major factor.
Air Pumps vs Water Pumps
The first penis pumps were all air-based pumps.
They worked using a small pump ball or lever and slowly created a vacuum.
The downside to this was how tedious it was to sit there and pump. It was also easy to overdo it and create too much vacuum on your penis.
Water-based pumps are a newer innovation and exceptionally easy to use.
Instead of a hand pump you simply fill them with water and press the seal down over your penis.
A bellows system allows you to manually pump excess water out, creating a strong vacuum.
Water-based pumps are faster, easier to use, and safer than air-based pumps.
The only downside is that they’re more expensive on average.
Sizing
Sizing is much more important with a penis pump than with most other sex toys.
You have to fit your entire penis into the cylinder with room to spare.
Make sure you measure your penis before making a purchase and leave some room for growth.
Bathmate HydroXtreme Series
The HydroXtreme series of Bathmate penis pumps are honestly the Rolls-Royce of the penis pump world.
They use a high-quality bellows design to quickly create the perfect water-based vacuum on your penis.
The Xtreme line is built to provide the maximum safe vacuum on penises above 5 inches and up to 11 inches long.
It can also be used as an air-based pump if you like. Just attach the included pump ball and begin.
All the HydroXtreme pumps use a transparent cylinder design with a measuring chart laid out on the side.
This lets you precisely track your growth over time.
The Bathmate HydroXtreme line is definitely on the pricey side. For your money you get just about the best penis pump on the market today.
Sex Dolls
Sex dolls are less sex toys and more a lifestyle choice.
They’re incredibly lifelike, with realistic proportions, ultra soft skin, and bouncy boobs and butts.
They’re also expensive and a good bit of work to maintain.
You have to be committed if you want to purchase and use a sex doll.
Sex Doll Basics
One of the biggest draws of a love doll is for companionship.
Realistic sex dolls are so close to perfect you’d be forgiven for not realizing they were artificial at first.
Types of Dolls
When most people picture a sex doll they’re actually thinking about realistic dolls.
There are a variety of different doll types available, such as:
- Realistic dolls.
- Torso Dolls.
- Japanese Dolls.
- Male Dolls.
- Mini Dolls.
- Robotic Dolls.
Suffice it to say you can get just about any size, shape, or orientation of love doll if you’re willing to pay for it.
Price
The biggest stumbling block most people have with sex dolls is their cost.
Even cheap entry level dolls will usually run you $800-$1,000.
These will be a heck of a lot of fun but they won’t last.
Everything about them will be just a bit flimsier, cheaper, or heavier.
If you want a really good doll you’ll have to spend at least $4,000 to $5,000.
For that you’ll get a fully customized doll that will last for years with proper care.
Real Doll 2.0
This one was basically no contest.
Real Doll is widely acknowledged as the best maker of custom sex dolls in the world today.
What sets them apart from the rest of the pack is their careful attention to detail and incredible customization options.
Most sex doll makers let you change the hair, nails, skin tone, etc, of your doll but Real Doll takes it to the next level.
You can choose from over a dozen different body types plus hundreds of customizable features.
They’ll even pierce your doll’s nipples or give it a tattoo you choose.
Quality wise they’re unmatched.
They use high-end platinum cured silicone over a rigid steel skeleton.
This makes Real Dolls incredibly soft and fully posable.
As long as you follow proper upkeep you’ll be enjoying your doll for years to come.
Blowjob Simulators
Blowjob simulators are some of the most enjoyable and high-tech male sex toys on the market today.
In the past this category was made up entirely of fleshlights and pocket pussies.
Several startups have begun to disrupt this field with remarkable automatic blowjob and masturbation devices.
Choosing the Perfect Blowjob Simulator
With blowjob simulators it really comes down to what kind of pleasure you want and how much you’re willing to spend.
There are great manual masturbators available at reasonable prices and several truly amazing automatic ones if you can spare a pretty penny.
Manual or Automatic
Manual blowjob simulators are basically just pocket pussies designed for blowjobs.
They usually have either lips or a non anatomical opening and a textured interior.
These are great fun but nothing groundbreaking.
The automatic blowjob simulators are where it’s really at. They do all the work for you, stroking and squeezing your penis for all it’s worth.
You can choose between a ring style system that grips and rolls over your penis or ones that actually move a physical masturbator.
Connectivity and Extra Features
Many higher end blowjob simulators now offer all kinds of neat features.
The most important of these are things like Bluetooth connectivity and the ability to pair sex toys together.
Some models allow you to control them from your phone, or let your partner control them.
The really cool ones will actually pair up with your favorite porn, immersive VR experiences, or even other toys.
For guys in a long distance relationship this can be a godsend.
No matter how far apart you and your partner are you can play together, you controlling their toy and they controlling yours.
Kiiroo Onyx +
I’ve already discussed the Onyx + as the best overall men’s sex toy so I’ll keep this brief.
It’s a high end automatic blowjob simulator with full connectivity features.
It provides one of the best solo masturbation experiences and has all kinds of fun features for playing with others.
The Onyx + is definitely on the pricey side but you get a ton of value for your money.
Prostate Massagers
Prostate massagers are one of the best sex toys most guys have never heard of.
It think it’s well past time we got over the stigma of male anal play.
They work by stimulating the prostate, sometimes called the male G-spot or P-spot.
It does a great job going over the basic safety steps to maximize your enjoyment.
Choosing the Perfect Prostate Massager
All prostate massagers have a few things in common:
They’re insertable, usually curved, and designed to apply gentle pressure to your prostate.
Beyond that you’ve got some choices to make.
Vibrating vs Non Vibrating
One of the biggest decisions is whether you want vibrations or not.
Vibrating prostate massagers can add a ton of extra sensation to your play. They often stimulate other parts of your body as well as your prostate and sometimes work via remote or app control.
Non vibrating massagers generally look a lot like butt plugs.
They’re great for stimulating and pressing on your prostate but don’t give you any extras.
I always recommend you start out with a non vibrating massager.
This lets you get a feel for prostate play and decide if it’s for you.
Design and Features
Prostate massagers are made out of a variety of different materials, in a range of styles.
The most common designs look a bit like an elongated butt plug. This lets you insert them easily and apply pressure to your prostate.
A lot of guys enjoy more than just prostate stimulation though.
Many plugs are designed with thicker bodies and a tapered point to give a sensation of unyielding fullness.
Other models look a lot like metal or silicone wands. They reach right up to your prostate and apply the most direct pressure possible.
Lelo Hugo SenseMotion
The Lelo Hugo is a high-quality vibrating prostate massager with a twist.
It gives you 5.5 inches of insertable length. This is just right for reaching your prostate and applying safe pressure.
By itself it’s a great little vibing massager but when combined with the SenseMotion remote it becomes something really special.
The remote lets you control every pulse and pattern of the Hugo just by moving your hand.
It takes some getting used to but once you’ve figured it out it’s a great way to enjoy yourself at home or on the go.
Even better, it lets your partner have total control over your stimulation and pleasure.
The Hugo is fully waterproof and rechargeable via USB.
It’s definitely not the cheapest prostate massager out there but it gives you a lot of pleasurable options for your money.
Male Vibrators
Men have been using vibrators since there’ve been vibrators.
It’s only in the last few decades that companies woke up to this fact and started designing them specifically for the needs of horny guys.
They’re usually built into a sleeve or tube that you can insert your penis into.
You can get them in a variety of shapes, sizes, and vibration intensities to fit your mood.
Design and Features
Most male vibrators are actually built into a male masturbator. You can even get a Fleshlight brand male vibrator.
Some are designed to provide both thrusting and vibrating sensations while others only give you vibration on the head of your penis.
Higher end models add in things like:
- IoT connectivity.
- Multi pattern vibrations.
- Longer battery life.
In general I prefer products that are rechargeable.
It’s much easier and more sustainable to plug a toy in than it is to find new batteries every time you want to play.
Portability and Sizing
Most of the same considerations when purchasing a male masturbator come into play with a vibrator for men.
You want to make sure it’s large enough to accommodate your penis while still being compact enough for your needs.
Depending on what your travel life looks like there are some really nice and very small male vibrators available.
Pricing
With male vibrators you really do get what you pay for.
You can find inexpensive models for well under $50 but they’ll be basic and fragile. Most won’t be rechargeable and none will have any kind of connectivity.
If you’re willing to spend $100-$200 you can get a really high quality male vibrator that will last.
Kiiroo Titan
Another fine product from the folks at Kiiroo, the Titan combines all their IoT knowledge with a set of excellent vibrators.
The Titan wasn’t satisfied with just one or two vibrators though. Kiiroo packed 9 independently triggerable vibrators into the Titan.
This allows you to adjust the location, pattern, and intensity of your sensations with precision.
You can choose from a variety of pre-programmed patterns or connect it to your favorite porn.
Like Kiiroo’s other products you can also connect the Titan to an app or other toys.
Kiiroo has partnered with porn companies and other sex toy manufacturers to really enhance your play.
You can have an immersive VR experience where you feel everything the main character does to you.
Enjoy chatting with cam girls?
The Titan lets you pair it with their toys and give them the reins as you get off.
The only real downside to the Titan is its short battery life.
Finding Your Best Male Sex Toy
Everyone’s kinks are different.
It makes sense that your favorite sex toy would be very different than mine.
Just make sure you always look for quality materials, good workmanship, and designs that work.
If you stick to these basic principles and take the time to educate yourself about the basic features of each category it’s hard to go wrong.
