From the hybrid office With food delivery on the rise, some of the changes that have come about in the Covid era are permanent. But one change that doesn’t get as much attention is sexual health: After sex toy sales surged during quarantine, men are still looking for the best sex toys to enhance their time in the bedroom.
Overview: Best Sex Toys for Men
“Penis toy sales are constantly increasing given the number of new product designs that have been introduced to the market over the past few years,” says Lisa Finn, sex educator at Babeland.
In other words, brands are matching our desires with new, high-quality products: “As sex toys continue to rise in popularity in the mainstream, we’re seeing a lot of new designs and styles of products,” says Finn. “Newer innovations like app-controlled toys (which have also seen a huge surge during the pandemic as many couples are physically separated during lockdown) have given a fresh update to already popular toy styles like vibrators, cock rings, and stimulators.”
Best Sex Toys For Men
The best thing about this self-pleasure revolution? There are now more high-quality sex toys for men than ever before. Here to help you with some shopping tips is Casey Tanner, a certified sex therapist, LCPC, CST, and in-house sex expert at luxury sex toy brand LELO.
“When shopping for a sex toy, narrow down your options by which part of your body you want to explore,” says Tanner. “For penis stimulation, look for sleeves, stimulators, or vibrators designed for the penis. If you’re interested in prostate pleasure, look for anal toys like massagers, butt plugs, or anal beads—just be sure to start with a smaller size and shape before going bigger.”
You may also want to consider whether you’ll be using your toy with a partner or more, Tanner says. “Most toys can be used alone or with a partner, but some are designed to facilitate communication, like remote-controlled toys or cock rings that stimulate both partners at the same time,” she adds.
And don’t forget basics like materials and build quality: “To avoid irritation and set yourself up for easier cleanup, look for waterproof, body-safe materials like high-quality silicone, ABS plastic, or glass,” says Tanner. “And while you can certainly buy a sex toy without spending a lot of money, going for a higher-quality one will typically get you more features, longer battery life, and greater durability.”
Here are some of the best sex toys for men you can buy online right now, including Tanner's recommendations and some of our favorites.
What are the best sex toys for men?
Whether you're looking for a way to relieve stress on your own or want to change things up with a partner, we've rounded up six of the most popular sex toys for men that you can buy discreetly online right now.
Editor's Choice
LELO TOR 2 COCK RING
One of Tanner’s favorite sex toys for men is the LELO TOR 3. “The TOR 3 is a flexible vibrating ring that can be used alone or worn comfortably during sex with a partner,” she explains. “Designed for mutual pleasure, the TOR 3 has a slightly thicker section for mutual stimulation of your partner’s clitoris. It accommodates a wide range of penis sizes and boasts 8 different settings.” In other words, it does it all—and you’re buying from one of, if not the, most respected names in sex toys.
Built-in stroker
Hot Octopus Pulse Solo Lux
This tiny and very cuddly vibrating Pulse Solo Lux from Hot Octopuss is a great option for anyone with a penis, delivering palm-sized vibrations that stimulate orgasm. But thanks to its unique design that stimulates both flaccid and erect penises, it’s especially useful for anyone who has trouble getting an erection. It’s also hands-free, so you can easily use it while you’re busy with your butt or your partner.
Prostate massager
Ice cube P-point plug
Made from body-safe, non-porous, hypoallergenic glass, this Icicles vaginal plug is widely recommended as one of the best prostate massagers on the market. The size is great—easy enough for beginners but still big enough for more experienced users—and the ring at the bottom provides a firm grip. Plus, the durable glass can be chilled (in the freezer) or heated (under hot water or in the microwave) for different sensations.
To stimulate the perineum
Anerus Progasm Prostate Massager
The Aneros Progasm is another great prostate massager (non-vibrating). If you're not familiar with it, these little balls on the handle help stimulate the perineum (the nerve-filled area, next to the entrance) while the main shaft works on the P-zone. Aneros is a highly regarded brand, and almost all users agree on the build quality of the massager.
Luxury masturbator
Lilo F1S V3
Another great option that Tanner suggests from LELO is the F1S V3. “Unlike other penis sleeves, the LELO F1S V3 doesn’t require you to vigorously move your hand back and forth to experience immersive pleasure,” she says. “Using sonic technology, this advanced controller delivers 360-degree pleasure that stimulates nerve endings beneath the surface of the skin. The F1S V3 comes with a remote control that allows you or your partner to customize the experience to your liking.”
It's an expensive masturbator, for sure, but it's worth the price.
Vibrating device for men
Manta Fun Factory
Don't be intimidated by the exotic look of this Manta sex toy: it's cleverly designed for both solo and couples' play. For solo use, fill the fork-shaped head with oil and use it like any vibrating massager (the edges of the head retain the oil). For couples' use, place the Manta around the bottom of your penis while receiving oral sex or penetration, and the vibration will create extra pleasure for both parties.
Budget selection
Easy scrambled tinga eggs
These discreetly packaged eggs from Japanese company TENGA have been a huge hit. Inside the outer shell you’ll find a flexible, textured masturbator that slides over your penis for amazing pleasure without any bulky equipment. Each of the six eggs in the carton has a unique texture, creating a different sensation with each egg. They’re great for occasional sex toy users or any couple looking for advanced foreplay.
Classic
Pink Fleshlight Lady
Fleshlight is perhaps the most well-known name in male sex toys, and is now synonymous with masturbation sleeves (like adhesive bandages). As the name suggests, Fleshlights are masturbation sleeves disguised as flashlights, and they score points for their discreetness. The inside is even more exciting than a flashlight, featuring a lifelike entrance and a narrow, ribbed interior. It’s a simple, no-frills sex toy for men, making it great for beginners and casual sex toy users.
P zone vibration massager
LELO Hugo Prostate Massager
The Hugo Prostate Massager is another great example of LELO’s expertise. The massager itself is designed for men with a curved design and dual motors (one on each end) that deliver powerful stimulation from the inside out. The remote control makes the Hugo even easier and more enjoyable—especially with a partner. It’s a powerful orgasm stimulator for alone time, but the remote control makes it great for couples of any sexual orientation.
Excellent for erectile dysfunction
MysteryVibe Tenuto 2
Most people think of sex toys as a way to enhance sexual pleasure, but some of the best sex toys are actually a way to enhance your sexual experience with your partner. One example is the Tenuto Couples Toy from MysteryVibe.
Although the Tenuto may seem a bit awkward at first, it is cleverly designed to stimulate your penis, perineum (also known as taint), and your partner’s clitoris all at the same time. Six vibrating motors are dedicated to each of these areas, with on-device controls as well as a companion app for easier adjustment during the process. Plus, the Tenuto’s flexible fit makes it suitable for any size male.
What types of sex toys do men use?
Before you delve into the world of male sex toys — or buy a new one — there are a few types of toys you should know about. Here are three types of male sex toys you'll find in our collection.
How much masturbationThe most popular type of sex toy for men is the masturbation sleeve. They are simple in concept (just insert and enjoy), but there is a wide variety of them including simple teasers, motorized sleeves, and stretchy masturbators. Our collection includes a variety of masturbation sleeves for all pleasure preferences.
Prostate massagerFinally, straight guys are getting interested in butt play. The truth is, the prostate is a nerve-packed pleasure center that, when stimulated, can help produce some of the best orgasms ever (hence its nickname, the male G-spot). The best way to explore your butt—while masturbating or with a partner—is to invest in a great prostate massager.
Couples gamesSex toys aren’t just for spending time alone. Some toys are designed to take sex to the next level by stimulating both partners. It’s a great way to spice up your sex life (especially if you’ve been in quarantine together for months, for example).
