15 Sex Toys For Men Who Want To Experience A New Type Of Orgasm
Fun fact: 95% of men report reaching orgasm every single time (compared to just 65% of heterosexual woman). The abundance of women's sex toys address this gap—but it also means that many people with penis fail to seek out the best sex toys for men.
Contrary to what you've been taught, the industry for men's sex toys is booming. They can opts for cock rings, anal toys, strokers, and more help boost their pleasure. (And there are great sex toys for couples, too, if you want to involve a partner.)
Whether used solo or with a partner, the best sex toys for men can help you reap the many benefits of orgasms and masturbation (e.g. a boost of oxytocin and dopamine1, better sleep2, etc.)—and they can also increase stamina, boost sex drive, and enhance pleasure.
Of course, there's a lot to consider when choosing the best sex toys for men. According to board-certified clinical sexologist, Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW, you’ll want to look for a reputable brand, the right shape and material, and as must customization as possible.
Consider this guide your one-stop shop to the best sex toys for me, with options for all experience levels and preferences.
Best sex toys for men
How we picked the best sex toys for men
The sex toy market is bursting with toys of all shapes, sizes, materials, and prices—so we called on experts to narrow things down.
Here's what they recommended:
- Reputable brand: First, you'll want to always make sure you are purchasing sex toys from reputable companies—and don't always assume higher price tags equate to quality. Kort busts this myth, saying, "Sometimes a $20 sex toy can give you more pleasure than a $100 sex toy."
- Shape & material: Instead of reaching for the highest price tag, assess the shape and material, and how it feels against your skin.
- Intensity levels: You'll also want to pay attention to the levels of intensity it provides, along with the basic functionality. For example: do you want a vibrating toy, or are you more focused on texture?
The best penis rings
- Best vibrating: Maude Band
- Best for solo play: Lovehoney Bionic Bullet Vibrating Cock Ring
- Best for partnered play with vulvas: Ohnut Depth-Limiting Rings
Penis rings can be intimidating if you’ve never used one—but experts say the best rings can make sex more satisfying. Adding a ring to couple play can help you get harder and last longer. Pro tip: They’re also great masturbatory aids for anyone with a penis.
Per Kort, "Penis rings can give you multiple orgasms by trapping blood flow in your shaft." And when they're made from the right materials, testers find quality cock rings can actually be quite comfortable.
Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
Pros
Quiet (even on strongest vibration)
Sleek, discreet aesthetic
Very stretchy
Cons
Can't use with oil-based lube
Hard to change settings during intercourse
Why we recommend it
Why we recommend it
Maude’s band sets itself apart from a more traditional ring by adding vibration, which is what makes it a home run for shared pleasure.
Made from a silky smooth FDA-grade silicone, the band delivers five vibration speeds. Yet it's still small enough to fit in the palm of your hand (which makes it the ultimate travel-buddy).
I personally reviewed the Maude Band and found it made sex better for both parties during p-and-v intercourse. The vibration brings things to a whole new level—and the toy is surprisingly powerful. Pro tip: Level two was more than enough for me and my male partner.

Licensed psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist Megan Fleming, Ph.D., recommended Ohnut as one of the best sex toys for couples, particularly if you or your partner deals with pain during penetration for any reason.
More of a sex accessory than a toy, these rings allow for customizable depth that helps both parties enjoy pain-free penetration. The material is body-safe and hypoallergenic, and it can be used with water or silicone-based lubricant. The best part? It truly feels like skin-to-skin contact.
Nearly 1,000 reviewers swear by these rings for more pleasurable sex—and one tester says they “should be dipped in gold because that’s how much they’re worth.”

Sexologist and sex expert Marla Renee Stewart, M.A., says this toy is "revolutionary in the sense that it has the wonderful air pulse technology made for penises." Per Stewart, it should be the "go-to toy" for anyone who wants to enjoy a deeper and stronger sensation as they masturbate.

From there, you'll be experiencing all the pleasures of penetration in no time. This classic toy is intuitive and incredibly easy to use—and the soft skin-like material can be tightened or loosened to your preference.
While important with any sex toy, it's particularly important that this toy gets cleaned after every use. You'll just need to rinse it with warm water, spray it with a cleaner (the brand recommends this one), and let it dry.
Testers say the Fleshlight feels almost exactly like vaginal sex, with an incredibly smooth inner texture that makes it worth every penny.

Only one voice to choose from

The Alex Neo Masturbator is an app-enabled, thrusting stroker that's stocked with a headphone jack, plus multiple thrusting modes and audible experiences. Perfect for anyone who wants to use an app or video chat with a long-distance partner, this sex toy's web capabilities also make it a great pick for (ethical) porn enthusiasts.
"The fact that you can pair it with your favorite porn and align the strokes accordingly gets you dangerously close to virtual reality masturbation," Stewart says. If that's not your style, remove this masturbator's detachable textured sleeve and create your own pleasure.
"Although some folks think this toy is a bit noisy, this is a phenomenal toy for its interactive experience alone," Stewart adds.

Stewart says this hands-free toy is great for men with penises "because you can use it while flaccid or erect, or to get from flaccid to erect!"

This toy is designed for foreplay, but it’s great for solo or partnered fun. It has nine speeds, six vibration motes, and a remote control to operate.

It's a fact: Pleasure is better with lubrication—and this massager has three holes to disperses lube as you stroke your shaft. It's filled with jellylike silicone and complete with a soft, thermoplastic interior.
You can adjust the sensation using the device's one-hand control pad, which helps focus stimulation on certain areas.

Expert tips for more pleasure from masturbation
- Switch positions: "Changing positions can improve your pelvic floor muscles' resting tone, which improves blood flow to your penis," Kort says.
- Play with your grip or stroking speed: Geter suggests trying a different hand, incorporating various types of erotica, or even putting on "a condom while masturbating for a different feel and sensation."
- Try edging: "Work yourself right up to the edge of ejaculation, then take a short break," instructs Kort, "just long enough for your erection to soften a little." (Here's our full guide to edging.)
- Involve your prostate: Kort explains that your prostate gland, which is right inside your anus, can provide tremendous pleasure. (Here's our full guide to prostate milking.)
- Try sensory play: Geter recommends using items like feathers or ice to engage in sensory play—i.e., an array of activities and objects meant to ignite sexual excitement through physical sensations that engage all your senses.
- Include someone else: The excitement of involving someone else can be explosive, says Kort, who says you can masturbate with a partner in person or via a Zoom or Skype session.
- Use what you have at home: Sometimes, the best sex toys for men are ones that are right in your nightstand—or kitchen, bathroom, closet, office...you get the picture (e.g. a showerhead or sock).
The takeaway
The best sex toys for men can help you enhance pleasure during solo masturbation, or with a partner. Whether you choose a stroker, massager, anal plug, or vibrator, just don't forget to wash your toys before and after each use.
