Looking to spice up your solo play? Male masturbators guarantee a realistic and sensuous feel, coming in a variety of textures that stimulate the penis in ways a hand never could. They’re easy to use, easy to clean, and inexpensive, allowing you to experiment with a variety of textures and styles without breaking the bank.
Types of Male Masturbator
Strokers, like TENGA Air Tech Ultra (€34.44, kinky.ie), are inexpensive and more discreet than other male masturbators and are not anatomically modelled, which some prefer. They might look basic and tame but don’t let that fool you – they provide some incredible sensations! Some are reversible, offering two completely different textures for double the fun.#
When it comes to a realistic masturbation sleeve, Fleshlights is crowned king time and time again. The Real Feel Super Skin sleeve is made from a patented, high-quality material that’s designed to replicate the sensations of sex. It also comes in a variety of styles to suit your preference; whether it’s anal, vaginal or oral, or if you have a sexy porn star in mind – there’s a Fleshlight for everyone.
Not sure where to start? The legendary Pink Lady Fleshlight (€57.41, kinky.ie) delivers incredible stimulation and pleasure. Perfect for solo and shared fun.
Pocket Vaginas are small male masturbators are great for those who travel or are looking for a discreet, first time sex toy. The Chanel St James Pocket Pussy (€17.22, kinky.ie) from Doc Johnson is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. This masturbation sleeve is made from soft, lifelike UR3, and features gentle ribbing internally and an open end for extra pleasure and sensation.
How to Use a Male Stroker
All masturbators should be used with lube to allow the toy to slide up and down the penis without uncomfortable friction. A water-based lube like Fleshlube Water (€11.47, kinky.ie) can be used with all male masturbators. The lube should be applied to both the inside of the toy and to your erection, and then you’re ready to go. The first time you use a masturbator, you may come quite quickly, but gradually building up your sexual stamina is all part of the fun!
At first, the entrance to the masturbator might look like a tight fit, but the toys are designed to expand to take your girth. Hold the base of your penis firmly and slowly ease yourself into the masturbator. You may want to only start by stimulating the sensitive tip of the penis, before plunging deeper. Once you’re inside, take your time working out your favourite way to use it. Be careful not to go too far back and forth to begin with, so you don’t slide right out – as you get to grips with your toy you can be more vigorous with your movements. For added sensations, try twisting the masturbator as you glide up and down, stimulating the head of the penis.
For masturbators or sleeves that are made from a soft material, it’s possible to vary the pressure. Grip it tightly for a more intense feel, or softly to ease up and bring you back from the brink of climax. If it has an opening at the other end, you can use your finger to partially or fully cover the hole to increase how strong the suction feels on the draw back.
Keep Your Toys Clean
By keeping your masturbator clean it will last longer and work better. All you need is hot water, and anti-bacterial spray like Loving Joy Toy Cleaner (€6.88, kinky.ie), and a clean towel.
Sex toys that are classed as ‘real feel’, including Fleshlight, Doc Johnson UR3 products, and Tenga) are often made from a mixture of materials that attract more dust than the average toy. To ensure these are kept in tip-top condition, sprinkle some renewing powder like Fleshlight Renewing Powder (€5.73, kinky.ie) over your toy after it has air dried. These will stop them feeling sticky and picking up extra dust or dirt.
