Movember & Male Pleasure: Let’s Talk About More Than Moustaches

   

By Tom, 38

Movember Isn’t Just About Moustaches

Every November, men grow moustaches “for a good cause” — but most of us barely scratch the surface of what Movember is actually about:

  • mental health
  • body confidence
  • prostate health
  • sexual wellbeing

But there’s still one topic that never gets included: male pleasure.

Let’s be real — most men were never taught how to talk about it, let alone improve it. We were given a few jokes, a lot of shame, and zero actual guidance. That’s why this Movember, I’m talking about something men rarely admit they care about: our sexual wellness.

And no — not in a “cheeky lads’ group chat” way. In a grown-up, honest, “maybe it’s time we actually look after ourselves” way.

Why Men Are Scared to Talk About Pleasure

Three reasons:

  1. We’re told we should already know everything.
  2. We’re terrified of being judged.
  3. We think sex toys = failure.

Here’s the truth:
Using tools to take care of your body — whether that’s a vibrating masturbator or a protein shaker — doesn’t make you weak. It makes you smart.

But most men would rather talk about their Fantasy Football team than their orgasm quality. And that silence is a problem.

Your Sexual Wellness Is Real Wellness

Let’s break it down.
Good sexual health supports:

  • lower stress
  • better sleep
  • stronger erections
  • improved mood
  • healthier relationships
  • Ignoring it out of embarrassment does nothing except make things worse later.

Movember is a reminder that men don’t talk enough about their wellbeing — and that includes the part we pretend we’ve mastered.

Why Male Masturbators Aren’t “Weird” Anymore

There’s a stereotype that sex toys for men are either:

  • neon,
  • oversized, or
  • something your mate bought as a stag-do joke.

But the modern reality?
Male toys now look like tech gadgets. They’re discreet, ergonomic, scientifically designed, and built to actually improve sexual performance — not replace it.

Think of them as the gym equipment of the bedroom.
Different tools target different experiences:

These are not punchlines — they’re part of a healthier relationship with your body.

The Prostate Conversation (The One Men Avoid Most)

Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to talk about:
Your prostate isn’t just “for medical exams.”

It’s a pleasure centre.
It produces stronger, fuller orgasms.
And exploring it does not say anything about your sexuality — only your curiosity.

Movember is the perfect time to understand your prostate instead of fearing it.
If you’re new to it, start with:

  • a small prostate massager
  • lots of water-based lube
  • patience

No pressure. No jokes. Just learning.

Mental Health & Masturbation

Another thing we don’t talk about:
Men use masturbation as stress relief — often without understanding why.

Healthy masturbation habits can:

  • lower cortisol
  • help you sleep
  • reduce anxiety
  • boost dopamine
  • support body confidence

Unhealthy habits (like rushing, hiding, or doing it with guilt) can do the opposite.

Slow, intentional self-pleasure teaches you how to relax, breathe, and listen to your body. It’s mindfulness… with better incentives.

Stamina, Control, and Realistic Expectations

If you’ve spent years learning sex from porn, you’ve absorbed ideas about performance that have nothing to do with real bodies.
Toys help retrain your brain by:

  • breaking unhelpful habits
  • slowing down arousal
  • improving control
  • helping you identify your “point of no return”

It’s sex education that actually works.

How to Start if You’ve Never Used a Toy

Start simple. No need for a full kit.

Beginner recommendations:

  • Rechargeable stroker for realistic feel
  • Textured sleeve for sensitivity training
  • Compact cup toy for privacy and discretion
  • Silicone cock ring for firmness and orgasm control

Pair everything with a good water-based lube — non-negotiable.
