A male stroker sex toy can take a solo masturbation session into high gear, but it’s also perfect for use with a partner. The sleeve-like stroker is designed to fit around the base of the penis, or frenulum, and vibrate for pleasure on the sensitive spot. Many strokers are available with a variety of textures to explore, as well as multiple pleasure settings to play with. They’re also a great way to add some sensation to foreplay before intercourse or sex.

The TENGA Flip Zero EV, which is a favorite of three of our expert testers, is an excellent option for anyone who wants to try out strokers for masturbation or foreplay. The toy is designed to flex and enclose the genitals, which allows users to feel new sensations in the head and tip of the penis and in other areas of the scrotum that might be repressed or ignored. Its ribbed sleeve texture, which is voted one of the most intense in the industry, can be explored with pressure, speed and direction.

This male stroker sex toy is a great option for beginners, since it’s easy to use and doesn’t require any electricity. It’s made from Cyberskin, a super soft material that feels good against the scrotum and is easily cleaned. It has a rumbling, pulsing vibe that’s easy to control and provides a great introduction to masturbation.

If you’re looking to go all out in the bedroom, consider a toy with mounts and harnesses that can be attached for hands-free play. These attachments allow you to experiment with stroking while exploring other sexual areas on the body such as the balls, perineum and anus or even the neck, mouth and nipples. The toy can be inserted through the opening on the side of the stroker, or through the head, depending on the attachment.

Before using your male stroker, make sure you’ve applied plenty of lube, both to the toy and yourself. Adding lube can enhance the pleasure and make it easier to insert. We recommend choosing a water-based lube, as it will be gentle on the silicone and less messy for faster clean up. Make sure to apply the lube generously, and don’t be afraid to share it with your partner if you like! Once you’ve inserted the stroker, start slow with your stroking motions and work up to a little more pressure. You can always add more lube for an added boost, and for the best results, make sure to test out different pressures, speeds, directions and thrusting. It might take some time to learn the nuances of your new toy, but you’ll be rewarded with a fun experience.
