Masturbation is something that is often seen as taboo among straight men, but with the right toys it can be a great way to self-soothe. Whether it’s a sex toy designed to mimic the feel of an orifice, or a stroker that can simulate the sensation of ejaculation, there is a huge variety of masturbating toys for men to choose from.
Generally speaking, the more bells and whistles a male masturbator has, the more it will cost. However, there are a lot of options that will still be quite affordable, especially if you plan on using it often enough to justify the extra expense.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that not everyone will get on with the same type of masturbator, so it’s important to find a toy that feels good to you. You can often narrow down your search by considering what materials the toy is made of, and what sort of texture you like on your body. For instance, a toy made from 100% silicone is super durable and easy to clean. The makers of one of my favourite male masturbators even have a video showing how many different ways they tried to destroy the product (including cooking it, freezing it and filling it with food) and nothing was able to break it down.
Another thing to keep in mind is how much space you’ll want the masturbator to take up when not in use. Some models are small enough to slip in your pocket, while others may be slightly larger and might require some dedicated storage space. Finally, it’s a good idea to look at reviews before deciding what to purchase. This will give you a better idea of what other users think about the toy, and whether it will be a good fit for your preferences.
As the popularity of these toys increases, it is interesting to see a trend developing towards designs that are less gendered and more abstract in nature. Brands such as Tenga make toys that are more aesthetically pleasing and look more like designer-led objects, and there is also a rise in tech-focused masturbators that can be controlled remotely or synced up with a VR porn app to mirror the strokes of on-screen content.
In terms of benefits, the biggest is that it can provide a form of release for those who are feeling stressed, anxious or lonely. Masturbation can help to relieve these feelings, and there are a number of benefits that come with it, including the fact that ejaculating is a natural flushing process that can reduce the build-up of carcinogens in the prostate. It is also important to remember that masturbation can be very enjoyable, and it can be a fun and rewarding activity. It is also a great way to explore new feelings and experiences that might not be available in a sexual relationship, or even in a monogamous marriage. As a result, it is a fantastic way to have sex when you’re alone.
