The best sex toys for men have come a long way in the last decade or so. Gone are the days when the only toys for guys were cheap, low-quality “pocket pussies” and standard butt plugs – now the market overflows with sexy gadgets and gizmos aplenty for all genders and anatomies.

You might be wondering: why branch out, if your hand already does the job just fine? But that’s sort of like asking why you should bother going to a restaurant when you can cook yourself a meal at home—variety is the spice of life, and sex toys can get pretty spicy.

Using a sex toy is “an opportunity to experience new pleasures beyond your own hands,” says Destin Gerek, a sexologist and host of the Evolved Masculine podcast. “[Toys] allow you to enjoy those sensations even when your partner is not available or simply not in the mood.”

And when they are, toys can ramp up partnered sex with new sensations and even help you go a little longer. “They can be used as a stamina training device to help men become more acclimated to the pleasurable sensations of sex, so that [their] nervous system isn’t as overloaded as it would be when having sex with a real partner,” Gerek explains.

Can't wait to get it on? Here are the toys you'll get to know and love, without all the foreplay.

There are so many different categories of toys that it can be tough to know what’s what. Here’s a breakdown of the major types of male sex toys available for people with penises and prostates to enjoy.

Strokers: “Strokers (a.k.a. masturbation sleeves) are toys made out of soft materials (like silicone or TPE) that are designed to be penetrated,” says Lisa Finn, a sex educator and marketing director for Babeland. “[They have] one or more openings, and are often textured on the inside to add some extra stimulation beyond what your hand can offer during a solo sesh.” Some strokers vibrate, heat up, or have other pleasurable features, while some are just meant to be lubed up and slid up and down your shaft manually.

Cock Rings: “Cock rings can help aid with erectile function. [They] can be just as much sex tools as they are sex toys,” Finn says. Slide a cock ring down to the base of your penis and it can provide some constriction that keeps your boner harder for longer. Some cock rings vibrate, which both you and your partner might find pleasurable, while some are just simple, stretchy rings with no extra features.

Butt Plugs and Prostate Massagers: The anus is a super-sensitive area regardless of whether or not you’ve got a prostate – but if you do have one, stimulating it with a toy designed specifically for that purpose can take your pleasure to new heights. It’s got medical benefits, too. “It’s healthy to give your prostate stimulation to help with blood flow,” explains Susan Bratton, an intimacy expert and the author of Sexual Soulmates. “The orgasm from prostate pleasuring can be as delectable as the feeling one gets from pleasuring the tip of the penis with practice. All this tissue is just waiting for you to activate it.”

Penis Vibrators: While vibrators are most famously used for clitoral stimulation, they can feel good on plenty of other body parts, including the penis! “Vibrators increase sensation, lighting up more of our brain’s awareness of our genitals. Vibration is a pleasure amplifier,” Bratton says. Some penis vibrators are designed to wrap around the whole shaft, while some target specific spots, like the frenulum. You can also use vibrators on your dick that weren’t explicitly created with that purpose in mind, like wand-style vibes—the sensations tend to be similar, if slightly less form-fitted to your anatomy.

Now that you have a better idea of what to look for, here are some of the best toys in all of those major categories and more.

Materials: SuperSkin (Fleshlight’s proprietary realistic material) and ABS plastic How to Use: Apply lube to your penis and to the inside of the stroker. Insert your penis and stroke as desired.

While you're likely aware of the infamous Fleshlight, the first and most well-known male masturbator, you might not know that the manufacturers came out with what they call the Quickshot. It's smaller than the original, with only 3.5 inches to insert your penis, meaning it (likely) won't cover the entire shaft. But the perks are that it's easy to store discreetly, and doesn't look like a typical Fleshlight, which isn't necessarily something you want a casual hookup to stumble on.

“They're popular for people practicing how to extend their play sessions,” says Rae Chen, a sex expert and the sex and beauty editor of TheNotice.net, referring to how you can train yourself to last longer over time by edging with a stroker, “but they're also just great for sex and masturbation in general.” And for couples play, we recommend your partner use this toy on the base of your shaft during oral sex.

Pros: Open-ended design allows it to be combined with blowjobs and other partner play; easier to clean than standard Fleshlights; compact and easy to travel with Cons: Won’t cover full length of your shaft if you’re longer than about four inches; porous material won’t last as long as silicone and will likely need to be replaced after a few years of regular use; can’t be used with silicone-based or oil-based lubes, only water-based

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: About 2 hours How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the toy and slowly insert it into your butt (you may want to warm up with a finger or two first, to help those muscles relax and open up). Control the toy with the included remote.

Butt plugs and prostate massagers—some of which vibrate or rotate—provide a “feeling of fullness” during sex or masturbation, Chen says, “leading to a more intense or a different type of orgasm.” While the Lelo Hugo is pricey, it’s our favorite prostate massager currently on the market. You tilt the remote to control the strength and location of the vibrations. So if you tilt it to the left, the vibrations will be stronger on the left side. With the Hugo, you can pinpoint exactly where in your behind you experience the most pleasure and focus on those spots.

Pros: Two strong motors target the prostate and perineum, respectively; “SenseMotion” features allow you to control the toy’s vibrations intuitively with movements of the remote, with a wireless range of up to 39 feet; can be used with or without the remote; waterproof Cons: May be too large for some users to enjoy

Materials: Silicone Battery Life: Up to 2 hours How to Use: Press the main button on the toy to turn it on, and repeat to cycle through the toy’s vibration modes. You can also control it by pairing it with the We-Vibe app. Apply some water-based lube to the inside of the ring before sliding it down to the base of your penis. Position the vibrating part either facing up or facing down so it’ll stimulate your partner’s clitoris or perineum (depending on their anatomy and preferences) during sex.

“Cock rings are one of my must-have recommendations for people with penises,” Chen says, who explains that these toys have three main benefits: They make maintaining an erection less effortful, erections stiffer, and help you hold off on ejaculation. The We-Vibe Pivot offers wonderfully rumbly sensations, increasing the pleasure for both you and your partner during sex. In the past we've recommended the Lelo Tor 2 in this category, but the Pivot is a new favorite for its remote control capabilities, a feature that our previous winner lacked.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; three vibration speeds and eight patterns; Bluetooth-controllable via the We-Vibe app; quiet; waterproof Cons: May be too tight for girthier penises

F1s V2 Male Vibrator

Materials: Silicone, ABS plastic, and aluminum alloy Battery Life: Up to 2 hours How to Use: Apply water-based lubricant to the inside and entrance of the stroker, and slide it onto your penis. Control the vibrations with the buttons on the toy, or pair it with Lelo’s F1S app on your phone via Bluetooth and control it that way. The app is also where you can see data from the toy’s 10 sensors.

More fun with solo play? There's an app for that. Lelo’s new F1S V2 is the Maybach of masturbation toys: it's incredibly powerful, extra soft and stretchy on the inside, and has ten sensors allowing for feedback, and the the whole experience is totally customizable through the Lelo app on your phone.

Pros: Two powerful motors for satisfying vibrations; comfortably flexible internal sleeve; sensors to track your speed and stamina via Lelo’s app Cons: Very expensive for a stroker due to its sensors and other high-tech features; incompatible with silicone-based lubes

Materials: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: 70 minutes How to Use: Hold the “+” button for one second to turn the toy on. Choose from eight different intensities with the “+” and “–” buttons. To turn the toy off, hold the “–” button for one second.

The Arcwave Ion might be one of the most innovative sex toys to come out ever. It utilizes the same pressure-wave technology you'd find in a clit toy, like the Womanizer Premium, but applies it towards the frenulum, which is on the underside of the penis. We found that the sensation of this toy is like the perfect combo of a flick, tap, and suck, so much so that it's something that a person could never replace. That makes this a worthwhile product whether or not you have a partner.

Pros: Offers unique “pressure-wave” sensation; easy to dissemble for cleaning; storage base doubles as a drying rack Cons: Noisy; expensive; won’t work for penises shorter than 3.5 inches

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: About 1 hour How to Use: Apply a water-based lubricant (optionally), place toy against the underside of your penis so it wraps around the shaft and presses against the frenulum, and turn it on. You can hold it in place or stroke it up and down.

“People with penises have had access to different types of strokers, plugs, and other sex toys for decades,” Chen says, “but vibration is a newer category of penis toys with a novel sensation that can take some getting used to.” This incredibly rumbly vibrator is designed to wrap around your shaft and stimulate your sensitive frenulum, whether you're stroking it up and down or just holding it on your sweet spot. Unlike most penis toys, this one works well even when you're not fully hard yet.

Pros: Unique oscillations can feel “rumblier” and deeper than standard vibrations; can be used with or without an erection; waterproof and easy to clean Cons: Not as easily incorporated into partnered sex as some other strokers

Materials: SuperSkin and ABS plastic How to Use: Lubricate the inside and entrance of the stroker with a water-based lube, slip it onto your penis, and stroke.

While people use the terms “Fleshlight” and “masturbation sleeve’” interchangeably, Fleshlight is actually the name of the brand. But of course, Fleshlight creates some of the best masturbation sleeves out there. The idea behind the "Stamina Training Unit" is that it feels so much like an authentic vagina that it will prepare you to last longer when you’re with a real woman. We can take or leave that dubious marketing angle but, in our testing, we've found that this our favorite.

Pros: Highly stimulating internal texture; soft and squishy enough to accommodate a variety of penis sizes; can dissemble it and turn it inside out for easier cleaning Cons: Porous material means it will need to be replaced sooner than a silicone toy

Materials: Thermoplastic elastomer How to Use: Remove stroker from the plastic case it comes in. Apply the included lubricant to the inside and entrance of the stroker. Slip the toy onto your penis and stroke as desired.

Is the Tenga Egg masturbator going to change your sex life? No. Will you use it to masturbate every single time? Absolutely not. But for less than seven dollars a egg, this super-stretchable elastomer sleeve can become one of many tools in your jerk box to switch things up when the old-fashion way starts growing stale.

Pros: Very affordable for a stroker; great variety of internal textures available; soft, squishy material; comes with its own lube Cons: Disposable—meant to be thrown away after one to three uses

Materials: Thermoplastic elastomer and ABS plastic How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the inside and entrance of the stroker, slip it onto your erect penis, and adjust the tightness as needed using the Velcro strap. Then use the buttons on the machine to control the auto-stroking.

This stroker attached to a device that lets you set the speed and length of each stroke, so you have full control over your pleasure even while taking a more hands-off approach than usual. One of the most fascinating features of the Handy is that you can sync it up to a porn video using Bluetooth, which is about as close to partnered sex as you can get when you're all alone.

Pros: Stroke length and stroke speed are both adjustable; auto-stroking machine requires less effort and dexterity than using a stroker manually; can be synced up to porn videos via Bluetooth connectivity; velcro closure lets you adjust stroker tightness to fit your anatomy and preferences; stroker can be swapped out for other manual strokers if you prefer Cons: Expensive; requires a nearby power outlet; incompatible with silicone-based lube; porous material will wear out, so stroker will need to be replaced sooner than toys made of silicone

Zero Flip Hole Luxury Male Masturbator

Materials: Thermoplastic elastomer and plastic How to Use: Lubricate the inside and entrance of the stroker with water-based lube (some is included), slide it onto your penis, and stroke.

When you open the Tenga flip, it looks like the insides of an alien, but that’s what makes it feel so good. There are various ridges and grooves inside the masturbation sleeve, which allow for different sensations. Few other masturbation sleeves are built like this. Most Fleshlights, for example, are simply smooth inside.

Pros: Fun variety of internal textures available; one-way valve creates pleasurable vacuum suction; can be flipped open for easier cleaning Cons: May be too tight for larger penises; porous material means the toy will need to be replaced sooner than one made of silicone

Materials: Silicone and plastic Battery Life: Up to 45 minutes How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the inside and entrance of the toy, and slide your penis inside. Use the buttons on the toy to control its vibration and heating functions.

While a lot of strokers will eventually warm to your body temperature during use, that's not quite the same as the "sinking into a warm bath" feeling of penetrating an already-heated orifice. This warming, vibrating stroker solves that problem and feels fantastic.

Pros: 11 different vibration settings; heating function with 3 different settings; waterproof Cons: Less than 3 inches deep, so not ideal for people who prefer full-shaft stimulation; rigid/inflexible, so not well-suited for girthy penises; vibrations may not be strong enough for some users; buttons can be hard to locate in the heat of the moment

Materials: Thermoplastic elastomer and ABS plastic Battery Life: Up to 5 hours How to Use: Lubricate the inside and entrance of the stroker and slide it onto your penis. Control its settings using the buttons on the toy or Lovense’s app.

Long-distance relationships make it challenging to maintain your sexual connection, but this Bluetooth-enabled stroker can help. Give your partner control via Lovense's app, and they can tease and please you with variable vibrations and suction settings from afar.

Pros: Powerful, adjustable vibrations; 360-degree contractions for a pleasurable squeezing sensation; adjustable tightness; long battery life; waterproof; can be controlled long-distance using the Lovense app; can be synced up with some VR porn videos; can be dissembled for cleaning Cons: 6.5-inch internal length may not be enough for large penises to get full-shaft stimulation; can’t be used with silicone-based lubes

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: Up to 45 minutes How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the inside of the ring, stretch it wide, and slip it down to the base of your penis (behind your balls) before getting aroused/erect. Hold down the power button to turn the toy on or off, and use the other two buttons to control its intensity. You can even toggle between settings with the included remote instead.

This ultra-powerful vibrating cock ring makes use of two motors: one on the top of the shaft for penis stimulation, and one below the shaft, which can buzz against the perineum and balls—two sensitive areas often neglected by this type of toy. The result is a more full-bodied sensation that could intensify your climaxes substantially. "Achieved my first hands-free orgasm with this toy," one reviewer wrote on the Hot Octopuss website. "Can't wait to try it with the wife. The vibrations are going to send her to the moon."

Pros: Stimulates the penis and perineum with powerful vibrations; five speeds and five modes; comes with a remote control; waterproof; comes with a travel pouch Cons: Short battery life

Materials: Elastomer Battery Life: 10 hours How to Use: Wrap the ring around your penis, with one loop going around the shaft and one going around the balls. Close the latch to secure the ring. Press the power button and pair the toy with the FirmTech app on your phone to control it.

Basically a Fitbit for your dick, the Tech Ring can be filed under “things you didn't know you needed.” You can use it as a regular cock ring during sex, but it also monitors your “erectile fitness score” and can be worn overnight to track your nocturnal boners, among other things. It's a must for tech nerds who care about their sexual health.

Pros: Measures and tracks erection firmness and duration; Bluetooth-compatible; long battery life; hook and latch makes it easy to put on and take off Cons: Not waterproof; not sexually stimulating beyond the normal constricting effects of a cock ring

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: About 2 hours How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the ring and slide it onto your flaccid or semi-erect shaft, facing the vibrating portion in the right direction to hit your partner’s clit or perineum during sex (depending on their anatomy, preferences, and what position you’ll be in). Turn on the vibrations with the buttons on the toy. For a tighter fit and a stronger erection, you can put the ring on over your penis and testicles.

This vibrating cock ring works just as well as the Lelo, but operates with a slightly lower frequency rumble. Can't hurt to have options—it's like you're some kind of orgasm sommelier! Unlike other similar cock rings, this one has a lower-pitched rumble that we find to be more stimulating. Also, it's 100% vegan and the stretchy material accommodates almost all penis sizes.

Pros: Lower-pitched, more stimulating vibrations than many similar rings; very stretchy to fit a variety of penis sizes; 7 different vibration modes with 7 different intensities each; 100% vegan; quiet Cons: Matte silicone may require more lube than you’re used to using in order to not feel “draggy”

Materials: Silicone How to Use: Slip onto your flaccid or semi-erect penis, either around the testicles and shaft or just around the shaft (depending on your size and how tight you want it to be). Use water-based lube if desired.

A standard silicone cock ring may not be the flashiest or fanciest toy out there, but it does one thing very well: gently constricts the blood flow out of your penis to give you a harder, more sensitive boner. At their most basic, these wearables are a super affordable way to try out a new sensation that you can enjoy with or without a partner.

Pros: Enhances erection quality and sensitivity; simple to use; affordable Cons: No vibration or other features

Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery Life: 1 hour How to Use: Slip onto your flaccid or semi-erect penis, either around the testicles and shaft or just around the shaft (depending on your size and how tight you want it to be). Use water-based lube if desired.

Combining a cock ring with a small rectangular vibrator, the SVR might be the first thing you pack into your suitcase before travel. It's waterproof, quiet, and discreet, and it comes with its own plastic travel case because Tenga knew you would want to bring it on the go. It's strong enough to be used on more places than just your penis, like if you want to slip your finger through it and turn your digit into a satisfying vibrator for your partner's vulva. Then, of course, it's one helluva cock ring.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; five vibration speeds and two patterns; can be used around your fingers as well; very stretchy; waterproof; quiet; comes with a travel case Cons: Long/large clitoral stimulator sometimes flops around instead of staying where you want it

Materials: Silicone Battery Life: About 90 minutes (the toy itself) and over 50 hours (the remote control) How to Use: Apply water-based lube liberally before inserting. Press the power button on the base of the toy to turn it on, then repeat to cycle through the toy’s 18 modes. Otherwise, the toy can be powered on and revved up with the included remote.

The contoured shape of this vibrating anal toy makes it super satisfying to squeeze around, and the comfortable base lightly massages your perineum while the internal part presses against your prostate. The included wireless remote helps you navigate easily through the toy's many vibration modes, so you can engineer your orgasm exactly how you like it. One Lovehoney reviewer wrote that it's “large enough to get solid contact on the prostate [and has] enough patterns to keep things fun during long sessions.”

Pros: Gentle curve to hit the prostate; convenient wireless remote; 18 vibration patterns and four vibration speeds; stimulates both prostate and perineum simultaneously Cons: Not fully waterproof

Materials: Silicone Battery Life: Up to 90 minutes How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the plug and slide it into your butt. Control it via the buttons on the toy or the Lovense app.

Your partner can control this one from anywhere on the planet with an internet connection, almost like you're about to jack into the Matrix. It has two strong motors, which are targeted for your prostate and perineum, and the neck's angle can be adjusted to perfectly fit your body. Just don't use this thing with silicone-based lubes.

Pros: Prostate-targeting shape; two strong motors, one for the prostate and one for the perineum; angle of neck can be adjusted based on your anatomy and preferences; long-distance controllability via Lovense’s app; waterproof Cons: Can’t be used with silicone-based lubes

Materials: Stainless steel How to Use: Apply lube as needed and insert vaginally or anally. Thrust or rock it in and out however feels best.

Whether you want to stroke your own prostate during masturbation or let a partner do it for you, this stainless steel toy makes it easy. Either of the two differently sized ends can press firmly against your sensitive P-spot while you rock it in and out, creating breathtaking sensations and maybe even triggering a prostate orgasm.

Pros: Stainless steel can apply firm pressure to the G-spot/prostate; curved shape allows you to rock the toy back and forth without much effort; holds cold and heat well—good for temperature play; double-ended design gives you two different size options; will basically last forever Cons: Expensive; may be uncomfortably firm for some users

Materials: ABS plastic How to Use: Apply lubricant to the toy and slide it into your butt. Clench your muscles around it to feel it stroke against your prostate.

Slightly smaller and roughly $100 cheaper than the LELO, the Helix Prostate Stimulator is a good choice for beginners. Start with this, get to know yourself, and when you're ready for an upgrade, get something that rumbles.

Pros: Provides conveniently hands-free prostate stimulation; tabs at either end of the toy’s base can stimulate external spots like the perineum; beginner-friendly dimensions; can be used with any kind of lube Cons: May be too small for users who prefer large penetration; takes practice to gain the muscle control needed for hands-free prostate stimulation

Materials: Silicone How to Use: Apply water-based lube to the toy before inserting it.

Welcome to your own backdoor. If this is your first time back there, the Bootie is great for getting into your, well, booty. It's a petite anal toy with a satisfying curve meant to press on your prostate, and its slim base fits comfortably between your butt cheeks.

Pros: Comfortable slim base; good curve for prostate/indirect G-spot stimulation; multiple sizes available to suit your needs Cons: Neck is not really large enough to help you warm up for anal sex, pegging, etc. if that’s what you want to use it for

Materials: Silicone How to Use: Apply water-based lubricant to the beads and slowly insert each one into your butt. Some people like to pull the beads out rapidly at the moment of orgasm to intensify their climax.

These anal beads hold their shape better than a standard set, so they're easy to guide in even if you've never tried beads before. That "popping" sensation as each bead moves in and out of you can make orgasms surprisingly intense!

Male Anal Sex Toys Pros: Beads gradually escalate in size, helping you work up to larger penetration comfortably; ring-shaped base makes removal quick and easy Cons: Doesn’t vibrate or do anything fancy; can’t be used with silicone-based lubes
