Listen up, masturbators.

When it comes to pleasure, the sex-positive crowd definitely has the upper hand. Compared to our more puritanical forebears, we live in a very progressive society where conversations about sexual health, pleasure, and intimacy have gone from hushed whispers and secret glances and into mainstream discourse. For guys, that means it's no longer so taboo to talk about the best male sex toys.

Historically, sex toys have mainly been marketed towards people assigned female at birth (AFAB), but there's been a growing recognition (and acceptance) that people with penises, or people assigned male at birth (AMAB), deserve pleasure and a fulfilling sex life too. After all, sex toys help us self-explore, enhance our relationships, and encourage personal growth intimately and emotionally.

"There's recently been a lot of work destigmatizing sex toys for women but not as much for men — but there's no reason men shouldn't have the same right to explore their sexuality and spice up their sex lives," Suzannah Weiss, certified sex educator and resident sexologist for the erotic ethical porn site FrolicMe, tells Mashable. "Toys can make sex more exciting alone or with a partner, help people discover what they like, and even help people with penises gain more control over their erections and orgasms."

The best male sex toys can help you discover new sexual frontiers, and Mashable has put together this guide to the most mind-blowing sex toys for men. All of these toys have been taken for a test drive by someone on the Mashable team or come highly recommended from sexual health experts.

What is the best male sex toy?

When it's time to choose a toy, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Everybody is different, and pleasure is an individual experience. So, while we can't say what'll work for you 100%, we can guide you in the right direction.

The most popular male sex toys fall into the following categories:

  • Masturbators: Masturbators, also called strokers, imitate the sensations of oral, vaginal, or anal sex. These toys range from handheld devices to more complex autmatic machines. Popular brands include Fleshlight, TENGA, and Hot Octopuss. Despite the name, strokers can be used for masturbation or partnered play.

  • Prostate massagers: Prostate massagers stimulate the prostate gland, also known as the P-spot. Popular brands include Aneros, LELO, and Nexus.

  • Penis rings: Penis rings, or cock rings, are designed to enhance an erection through strength and sensitivity. Vibrating cock rings can also provide enhanced pleasure for solo and partnered play. Popular brands include LELO and We-Vibe.

  • Vibrators: Vibrators aren't solely for individuals AFAB. Several vibrators, like vibrating sleeves, prostate vibrators, and vibrating cock rings, are specifically designed for male pleasure.

  • Penis pumps: Penis pumps create a vacuum around the penis to increase blood flow and potentially enhance erection size and strength.

This list isn't exhaustive but serves as a solid starting point. In recent years, innovative sex toy makers have also introduced virtual reality sex toys, automatic blowjob machines, and even self-warming sex toys. You may also want to consider popular anal sex toys like butt plugs, which can be used by people of all genders.

Remember, the best male sex toy isn't dependent on what's trendy but on what'll genuinely bring you the most pleasure and satisfaction.

To find the best male sex toys, we asked the experts

We didn't just pull this list out of thin air — we got the lowdown from some real experts in the field.

"When purchasing your first male sex toy, consider your preferences, prioritize body-safe materials, and explore different options," Dolly Ferraiuolo, LCSW and founder of SHARE Transformative Therapy & Wellness, tells Mashable. "Approach your experience with an open mind and a sense of exploration. Experiment with different types of toys to discover what you enjoy most."

Here's a rundown of the folks we talked to:

With this advice in mind and input from experts in the field, we've compiled a list of the best sex toys for men that are body-safe and highly recommended for their pleasure-enhancing features.

Note: For this article, we're looking primarily at toys intended for use by people assigned male at birth (AMAB), which means they're recommended with the same enthusiasm for anyone with a penis/prostate, regardless of gender identity.

Our Pick

Fleshlight is the most well-known name in masturbation strokers, and there’s a reason for that. Fleshlight helped bring male sex toys to the masses, and they still make the best masturbators for men. Case in point: The Fleshlight Turbo Thrust Blue Ice, which comes highly recommended by experts and thousands of online reviewers. Why? Because this baby mimics the best blowjob you've ever had.

"While it may not have an anatomically accurate mouth orifice, it more than makes up for it with its outstanding oral action," Dainis Graveris, a certified sex educator and relationship coach at SexualAlpha, tells Mashable. "Its design features three insertion points that simulate the gradual and sensual experience of receiving oral pleasure from the lips, tongue, and down to the throat."

The Turbo Thrust also has a see-through construction, which adds an exciting visual element to the experience. "You can easily see the action happening as you use the toy, enhancing the overall experience and providing a more immersive feel," adds Graveris.

If you're on a budget or shopping for your first sex toy, the Arcwave Ghost is an affordable option that doesn't skimp on pleasure. This silicone toy is reversible so you can enjoy two distinct sensations with one device.

"When it comes to strokers, bigger isn’t necessarily better," Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D. (aka The Sex Dr.) and research fellow at The Kinsey Institute, tells Mashable. "The Arcwave Ghost’s compact size offers discreet and easy storage and the ability to travel with it. Also, while its design may appear simple at first, this silicone stroker flips inside out, offering two different sensation surfaces. Double your pleasure!"

And if you're wondering just how good the reversible sleeve feels, Zachary Zane, author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto and sex expert for Momentum Intimacy, says it feels "incredible against your shaft and head, and it's super easy to clean."

We should note that men with particularly large penises will not be able to fully insert their penis into the sleeve, a common problem with stroker toys for men.

the handy stroker

The Handy

Best automatic masturbator

The Handy isn't your typical masturbator — this interactive stroker toy takes solo pleasure to an extraordinary level. With its sleek and Norwegian-inspired design, both inside and out, the technology behind this blowjob machine is truly mind-blowing.

It's Wi-Fi enabled and can be effortlessly controlled through the Handyverse app, while its video sync feature allows it to replicate every movement in your favorite videos, from blow jobs to penetration. That makes this the best male sex toy for lovers of virtual reality and futuristic pleasure products.

This handy device (yes, pun intended) is said to be the masturbation of the future, with several experts agreeing that it's one of the best male sex toys on the market.

"I find the Handy quite intriguing and exciting," Graveris tells Mashable. "It caters to those who derive pleasure from the visual aspect of having a device work its magic on their shaft. With its clear, textured sleeve, and external motor, this toy offers an automated pumping motion that can be customized to match your preferred stroke speed and length. It's like having your own personal pleasure assistant!"

Graveris also mentions that the Handy is easy to use and comfortable to hold, and the sleeve can be tightened or loosened depending on your preference. "The adjustable Velcro band adds another layer of versatility, allowing you to explore different sensations by using alternative sleeves from your collection," adds Graveris.

tenga egg pack

TENGA EGGS

Best for one-time use

These TENGA EGGS may look a little different than the rest of the toys on this list, but those differences are what make them special.

"These cleverly designed toys act as sleeves that effortlessly slide over the penis, providing a pleasurable and customizable sensation," Rhiannon John, a sexologist at Bedbible, tells Mashable. "Its versatility and range of ribbed patterns set the Tenga egg apart. Each TENGA EGG features a unique texture with crafted ribbed patterns, adding extra excitement to your personal pleasure sessions."

This standard variety pack comes with wavy, boxy, brush, tornado, sphere, and silky patterns. It also comes with lubricant, so once you open the egg, you can apply and enjoy. These features make this toy much easier to pack than, say, a Fleshlight, but that's not all — they also make this toy a fun, easy, and cost-effective way to sample what you like. 

The eggs are disposable, so clean up is nice and easy, but if you find a pattern you really like, you can buy a non-disposable version — it just might cost you a bit more.

LELO HUGO

Best prostate massager

If you're looking for a hands-free prostate massage, then the LELO HUGO may be exactly what you need. With two vibrating motors and six settings, the HUGO offers unparalleled pleasure for P-spot stimulation. It's also waterproof, so you can play in the shower or bath without worry.

"The vibrations produced by this toy are persistent, powerful, and wonderfully rumbly, which really hits the spot for me," Graveris tells Mashable. "It's like having a mini powerhouse of pleasure in the palm of your hand."

This luxe remote control prostate vibe also features SenseMotion technology that allows you or your partner to control the intensity of the vibrations with just a tilt or shake of the remote.

“Not only is it a convenient and hands-free way to adjust the intensity, but it also adds an element of fun and excitement to the experience,” says Graveris. “It's a delightful surprise to discover how the toy responds to your movements, allowing you to customize the sensations and explore new heights of pleasure.”

Playboy has released a ton of exciting new sex toys for women under its Playboy Pleasures brand in 2023, but the iconic company also has toys for men and non-binary adults. An intrepid Mashable reviewer recently tested out the new Playboy Pleasures sex toys for men, and he was impressed by the results he achieved with the Bunny Buzzer.

In reviewing this cute, bunny-shaped vibrating cock ring, our product tester found that it worked better for some female partners than for others, but on the whole it was an impressive ring that delivered repeat orgasms. Unlike some other vibrating cock rings, this bullet vibrator isn't overly complicated, which is actually a key benefit. Some other luxury cock rings are also a bit overpriced (we're looking at you, LELO), but the Bunny Buzzer is an easy to use and dependable sex toy with a reasonable price.

Use it alone or with a partner for intense vibrations and powerful orgasms.

Kiiroo Onyx+

KIROO Onyx+

Best for long-distance couples

The KIIROO Onyx+ is a unique blowjob machine with three modes: interactive, manual, and automatic. Its high-end tech meets pleasure, offering a realistic experience with up to 140 strokes per minute and a super quiet motor for discreet use.

You can also pair it with any KIROO device (KIIROO Pearl, KIIROO Onyx, OhMiBod Fuse, OhMiBod Esca, or any FeelTechnology-enabled compatible device) for a fully interactive experience, which is ideal for anyone in a long-distance relationship. Feel your partner's touch in real-time, no matter where you are.

"One aspect that sets the Onyx+ apart is its unique and textured sleeve, which features internal contraction rings," Graveris tells Mashable. "When you insert your penis into this sleeve, you'll experience a sensation, unlike the traditional up-and-down motion in most milking machines. Instead, it simulates the feeling of being gently squeezed and released, creating a new level of pleasure."

Graveris also says that the Onyx+ is compact and silent, making it ideal for anyone on the go.

arcwave ion

Arcwave Ion

Best frenulum stimulator

The Arcwave Ion is the "world's first pleasure air male masturbator" that takes air pulsation technology to a new level of pleasure. Like the oh-so-popular Satisfyer toys for people assigned female at birth (AFAB), the Arcwave Ion uses gentle airwaves to stimulate those sensitive Pacinian receptors in the frenulum.

"What sets the Arcwave Ion apart is its innovative use of suction air technology, specifically designed to target and stimulate the sensitive nerves of the frenulum, often referred to as the male clitoris," Graveris tells Mashable. "This distinctive approach to male vibrators offers a completely different sensation beyond traditional vibration-based toys."

The only caveat? Graveris notes that finding the best position to fully enjoy the sensations of the Arcwave Ion may take a bit of experimentation. "But once you discover the sweet spot that works best for you, the payoff is extraordinary," he adds. "The sensations it generates can be described as incredibly intense and, according to some users, even approaching the level of a female orgasm."

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be frustrating and challenging for individuals and couples. This condition prevents people from achieving or maintaining an erection, affecting an estimated 30 million people in the U.S. Fortunately, sex toy companies have developed innovative solutions to help individuals with ED preserve their sexual health and pleasure.

One example of this ingenuity is the Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo. This pleasure product features adjustable settings and dual-stimulation capabilities for both the user and their partner, making it a great choice for couples trying to spice up their intimate moments or combat the symptoms of ED.

"The Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo sleeve has an adjustable design that fits any girth and is a good option for men who have trouble with erections because they can use it without getting hard," Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW, founding director of The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health tells Mashable.

MysteryVibe has redefined the traditional cock ring with the Tenuto. This vibrating wearable toy stimulates the penis and the perineum, offering intense pleasure and heightened sensations for solo play and partnered fun.

"Tenuto is not your usual-shaped cock ring, and that's precisely why I love it," Graveris tells Mashable. "Putting on this cock ring for the first time was a bit of a learning curve, but once I got the hang of it, I was blown away by the pleasure it delivered."

With six strategically placed motors, Graveris says using the Tenuto is like having a symphony of pleasure at your fingertips. "The stimulation provided by Tenuto is nothing short of amazing," adds Graveris. "It's not just about the physical pleasure but also the connection it creates with my partner. We enjoy exploring the different settings and finding what drives us wild."

Now, with that said, the original Tenuto is no longer available, but MysteryVibe's Tenuto 2 (which is also available on the MysteryVibe website) is an upgraded version of this highly-recommended toy. You can also purchase the Tenuto Mini as a smaller version of the OG Tenuto.

How we tested

  • Quality: Don't settle for less. Our experts said going for the good stuff is worth it. Trusted brands and toys with solid reviews are your ticket to the good times that last.
