Masturbation, much like sex, has long stopped being taboo. And it rightfully deserves to be considered as something acceptable and normal. After all, providing ourselves with self-love and care can give our emotional, physical, and mental well-being a boost.
But like every other activity that typically brings joy, sometimes even masturbation may not feel right. And it can be due to many reasons. You may have trouble putting yourself in the right mood or you might have grown tired of the same stuff over and over again. This is where masturbator toys can help.
Although most sex toys for solo fun are aimed at women, it doesn’t mean men don’t appreciate some help in their solo explorations. Sure, you already know what makes you tick with your hand movements, speed, and tightness, but the male masturbators toy range can elevate your level of fun in a way you didn’t imagine it would be possible.
They provide so much pleasure and excitement in the bedroom, you can even include them in a hot session with your partner and spice things up in your relationship. Blow-up dolls, cock rings and anal toys have long been the popular choices to take sex things up a notch, but there’s a new sheriff in town. And it’s more advanced and better at delivering a unique sensation that feels like the real deal!
The popularity of men’s sex toys, in particular the masturbators also known as sleeves, strokers, pocket pussies and fleshlights, only increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it hasn’t stopped since. If you want to know what all this hype is about, and you still haven’t given these incredible masturbators a try, read up and find out!
This is a male masturbators toy that is designed to stimulate the penis during manual, penetrative or oral sex, and it got the name because it consists of a soft sleeve-like part that serves for penis insertion. The reason these toys make solo fun that much more special and fun has to do with the way they are designed inside, with their bumps, ridges and twists to replicate the real feel.
Unlike regular hand masturbation, or that with the use of old-school toys, the masturbators of today come in a range of types and materials, so you have plenty to choose from. This also allows you to experiment and see what you’re most comfortable with, which can further be beneficial in strengthening your relationship with your partner. Having fun under the sheets with your partner in crime without any taboos is a way to increase intimacy!
When you first get into the world of men’s masturbator toys, it’s important to know the different types to narrow down your options and decide what you prefer. In terms of the masturbator sleeve, this comes down to:
This is the cheapest masturbator and the simplest in design that doesn’t necessarily have a life-like resemblance to a vulva or anus. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less fun and pleasurable because it still has the textured interior that you expect it to have. Thanks to the flexible and lightweight design, these toys are also easy to flip and clean up.
If you like something that looks like the real thing, whether it’s vulva or anus, then this is the type for you. The latest craze among these is the sleeve male masturbators toy mould that’s based on some of the famous porn stars’ genitals which allows you to create your own unique experience at home as you also tune in to your favourite movies.
This is the perfect disposable toy that you can use and toss out without the chore of maintaining it, washing it and storing it properly. It’s small, portable, and really thin and stretchy.
Get your own hands-free fun with a vibrating or mechanism-based sleeve. Once you set your own ideal mode, speed, and vibration sensations, you let the toy do all the masturbation for you so you can fully focus on the sensation. Some of these toys can also be controlled remotely making it possible to spice things up sexually in a long-distance relationship too. Others can be paired with erotic content, which truly takes the experience to another level.
This is an important consideration because it’s related to comfort, sensation, and ease of cleanliness. One of the best options includes silicone as it’s a material that’s known for premium properties like no-porosity and no additives and chemicals. Still, some people find it to be lacking something due to its low stretch properties.
If this sounds like you too, then you’d find the TPR (thermoplastic rubber) and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) alternatives to be great in this aspect. They’re squishy, they’re skin-like, so you can count on the real feel experience. However, keep in mind they are porous, so they can harbour bacteria when not cleaned. That’s why it’s your main chore to clean them properly before and after each use to ensure hygiene.
