The Beginners Guide to Male Sex Toys
What is a male sex toy? If you’re more familiar with the common dildo or vibrator, you might be less aware of male sex toys such as masturbators, strokers, and cock rings.
Of course, there are many different types of sex toys penis-owning individuals can use, all of which are specially designed to make masturbation and sex more enjoyable. In our beginner’s guide, we’ll give you a crash course in the most common male sex toys, and what type of pleasure they can offer you.
Male Masturbation and Sex Toys
Despite the old wives’ tales we’re told when young, masturbation is good for you. It won’t make you blind, but it will encourage you to get to know your own body, improve your sexual awareness, and help you find out what you do and don’t enjoy in the bedroom.
Sex toys also play an important role in self-pleasure, offering unique sensations and opportunities to explore masturbation.

Male sex toys, in some form or another, have been around for thousands of years. Dildos, make-shift strokers, and masturbators cups have been pleasuring penises for as long as we can remember. However, it wasn’t until the 90’s that the popular household name Fleshlight was created.
Since then, male sex toys have been more diverse than ever, offering something for everyone’s tastes.
What are the types of Male Sex Toys?
Male Masturbators and Strokers
One of the most well-known types of sex toy, male masturbators are often considered artificial anuses, mouths, vaginas, or non-realistic openings with internal bumps and ridges which stimulate the penis whilst in use. These masturbators may be discreet, covered in a plastic casing or cup, or even just look like a plain plastic tube. Whether you prefer a more realistic-looking masturbator or one more discreet is up to you!
Along with the general description of a soft penetrable tube, masturbators can also have additional features to enhance the user’s experience. Vibrations, oral sucking simulation, and even warming functions are all features you can enjoy with a masturbator.

Often a small ring which goes around the base of a penis, a cock ring helps the wearer achieve a girthier and longer-lasting erection by keeping blood in the penis.
Great for couples’ play to help make sex last longer, cock rings come in a variety of sizes so you can find the right fit for you. Don’t worry though, most cock rings (unless they are made from metal) are stretchy, and offer a comfortable fit for most penis sizes.
Like many male sex toys, cock rings can also have additional features such as vibrations to help stimulate the penis or clitoris during penetrative sex.

Prostate Massagers
Ever heard of the P-spot? This is the pleasure point inside the male anus and is essentially the male equivalent of the female G-spot. Prostate massagers work by stimulating the prostate gland (P-spot) in the bottom which can be difficult to find using just your fingers.
Prostate stimulators come in a range of styles and sizes, both vibrating and non-vibrating, and can be used whilst masturbating for the ultimate orgasm.
As with any anal toy, lubricant is a must with a prostate massager to prevent discomfort and make the experience much more pleasureable.
Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are designed to enhance the size of the penis, leaving the user with juicer more meaty erections. Not only do they deliver instant erections, but regular use can also increase the size of your penis over time. These pumps work by creating a vacuum that draws blood to the penis. An airtight cylinder is placed over the shaft of the penis which then increases blood flow to the shaft and balls, giving you stronger, longer-lasting erections.
To keep your erection for longer, you can always use a cock ring straight after a pumping session to keep the additional blood flow within the erection.
If you’ve never used a pump before, ensure your pump of choice includes a pressure release button should you get carried away or begin to feel any discomfort. Incorporate pump use into a weekly routine to experience the best results.
Sex Dolls
Sex dolls and artificial body parts are some of the most realistic male sex toys on the market. Designed for realism and the full sexual experience, sex dolls have a realistic skin texture, and weighty feel so they won’t move around underneath you during use. Although weightier, dolls really do mimic the sexual experience, with specially sculpted features which can fulfil any fantasy you might have.
Body parts, like dolls, also mimic the real thing, but often in a much smaller and cheaper design. If you’re looking for something more compact and easy to store, a body part might be for you.
