The best sex toys for men

The Fleshlight(opens in a new tab) is best-known name in men's masturbation toys. There’s a good reason for that. Because according to Fleshlight enthusiasts, the brand’s higher price point is justified by both the increased pleasure and always-reliable durability. The Fleshlight can certainly take a pounding. Ahem. It lasts longer than other sleeves.

Some reviewers specify that the Fleshlight texture helps them last longer, while others find it to be more pleasurable than other models. Either way, it's win-win.

While the Fleshlight featured here is the "Riley Reid" design (named and moulded from the real-life porn star) there's also a model that simulates anal penetration(opens in a new tab). Don't forget add-on purchases like sleeve warmers, shower mounts, and even a tablet holder so you can combine your Fleshlight with some Pornhub action. 

The Arcwave Ion(opens in a new tab) offers a totally new type of stimulation. So, if you're looking to try something new, this might be the sex toy for you.

This is the world's first stroker to integrate Pleasure Air technology for men. But what is Pleasure Air technology? (We hear you ask). Put simply, this technology teases, sucks, and stimulates the Pacinian pleasure receptors. These receptors are incredibly sensitive, so the pulsating airwaves help you achieve a completely new level of orgasm.

It's made from CleanTech silicone that is really easy to keep clean. All you need to do is twist off the upper part, rinse with water, and place it back on the discreet storage base to dry. This base doubles as a charging station that will charge your device automatically, with LED indicators showing the battery level.

If you like anal play — and you also like putting the power in your partner's hands — the LELO Hugo(opens in a new tab) is a truly state-of-the-art sex toy.

It's a waterproof, remote-control prostate massager that features two powerful motors at opposite ends. Indeed, the LELO Hugo is made for serious intensity. LELO claims that it has the potential to “increase the size and intensity of the male climax by 33 percent.” And who doesn't want that, fellas?

Either pop it in for solo play or pass the controller, and your pleasure levels, to your partner. They'll know what to do Reviewers enjoyed both full-body and hands-free orgasms. At almost £150, it's an investment piece, but well worth the money. 

Some male masturbation aids can be intimidating, but Tenga Eggs(opens in a new tab) are just the opposite. Originally created in Japan (where masturbation culture is much more open) these little silicone eggs are actually quite “kawaii” (meaning cute).

They’re simple to use: Just add a little lube and stretch it over the head of the penis (similar to putting on a condom) before going about a session as you usually would.

For folks already familiar with Tenga Eggs, the “Hard Boiled” edition refers to the six new textures being debuted, made with thicker and stronger material.

One potential drawback: They're only meant for single use. Although some reviewers say that with care, you can make them last for multiple uses — up to 10 or so. That said, they're reasonably priced and unobtrusive enough that they also make a great travel companion when you don't want to pack your pricier toys. 

There's nothing quite like a blowjob, is there chaps? Whether she (or he) isn't the type to dish them out all the time, or you just want more blowies than your partner can realistically fit into the day, the Blowmotion Masturbator(opens in a new tab) from the ever-reliable Lovehoney will keep you going. (Or should that be blowing?)

It envelopes the head of the penis and delivers a smooth-but-moist action, with multiple vibration and intensity settings. That's all controlled by easy-to-access buttons. And fear not: It's totally waterproof so you can use it in the bath.

It might seem pricey, but that's really just the going rate for some decent sex toy tech, though you will have to add lube to properly replicate that blowjob sensation.

For those looking to get into the sex toy game by jumping in headfirst, the Ultimate Performance Male Sex Toy Kit(opens in a new tab) may be just the thing you’re looking for. 

Equipped with a butt plug, cock ring, masturbation sleeve, and penis pump with a detachable vibrator, this kit is marketed towards someone on “a voyage of discovery.” And at less than £50, you're really getting some bang for your buck.

Satisfied reviewers noted that the kit is a true bargain and that the products were all high-quality — especially the pump. Happy times, fellas.

The Hydromax9(opens in a new tab) is a new kind of penis pump. It uses water instead of air to create an stronger suction. According to the manufacturer, it's made for the shower or bath.

Simply fill it with water and then start pumping away. The vacuum effect will encourage blood to flow into your shaft, promoting stronger and more sustained erections. Any excess water will flow out the end of the toy.

The manufacturer also claims it can improve penis length and girth. The see-through design means you can watch the action, which — let's be completely honest, fellas — is part of the fun. This new style design is made to be more comfortable. It's also less likely to allow unwanted air leaking inside while it's in use.

The Colt Snug Tugger(opens in a new tab) takes the traditional cock ring design one step further by adding an extra loop to incorporating the testicles. And by incorporating, we mean give those chaps a good squeeze. Because that's what the Colt Snug Tugger does best.

It works by restricting blood flow to the shaft of the penis, resulting in harder and longer erections, while supporting the testicles with a delicate squeezing sensation. (Never had a ball-squeeze? Time to give that particular avenue of pleasure a whirl.)

Some satisfied reviewers have rated the ring for a bonus feature: Some added clitoral sensation for female partners. Which is always welcome.
