What kinds of male sex toys are there?
There are three main schools of sex toy for men. Here we run through what exactly each of them has to offer and how they might come to benefit you in the bedroom...
Arguably the men's sex toy with the most obvious shared enjoyment is the vibrating cock ring. An evolution of standard silicone or stainless steel cock rings, which work to enhance blood flow and consequently facilitate stronger, longer-lasting erections, the vibrating element also provide vulva and clitoral stimulation, making them one of the best sex toys for couples out there. Many come with ergonomic nubs that are better contoured for penetrative sex or can be spun around for perineum tickling, too. Some even boast Bluetooth-connected remote controls so that you can switch up vibration patterns and intensities without having to route around down there for a button.
A somewhat more outwardly solo endeavour, male masturbators serve the purpose of replicating the sensation of penetrative or oral sex, most often in the form of tubular vessels (sometimes referred to as flesh lights) with a soft, vagina-like entry point. More upmarket models add glitzy tech to the mix like various vibration patterns and app compatibility. They can be useful tools for spicing things up in long-distance relationships or used during foreplay, and some even position themselves as "climax trainers" to help him become a better, longer-lasting lover.
Men gay, straight and bi can take enjoyment from anal play, and there's no need to be squeamish about indulging this side of your partner's sexuality. The male equivalent of the G-spot is the prostate – a gland that sits between the penis and rectum and is sometimes referred to as the "P-spot". Prostate massager's serve the purpose of stimulating said gland in the form of ergonomically-formed dildos, while toys like butt plugs can add length or girth to proceedings. All make for interesting ways to mix up foreplay or stimulate men further during sex, and if you want to be a bit more involved in the fun, a pegging harness will allow you to strap on a dildo and mix up traditional bedroom dynamics.
How often do I need to clean my toy?
You should clean your male sex toy after every use. Most sex toys for men can be cleaned sufficiently with antibacterial soap and warm water.
Should I use lube?
Definitely! Lube helps to avoid injury and discomfort during sex, as well as tearing. Plus, using one can reduce the incidence of UTIs and cystitis. If you're using a male sex toy which is insertable, a lube or water-based lube is guaranteed to make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.
LELO's latest launch is reduced by £31.
