Male Masturbators

If you thought sex toys were only for women, you are delightfully mistaken. The product lines available to men and the male sex toys on the market are growing more numerous and more interesting every day.

And the toys for men are no longer just performance-enhancing things like cock rings and pleasure sleeves, but there are extensive lines of male masturbators that are actually quite satisfying for a man to use as a solo operation. 

Do Masturbators Feel Like a Real Vagina?

This is a very subjective question, but the masturbators that Romantic Adventures carry are striving to become more lifelike every day.

Not only are the materials becoming more advanced and body safe, toy manufacturers are starting to include things such as vibration, heat, lubrication, and even sometimes verbal feedback, to increase the connection to the imagination, which really determines the lifelike quality of the masturbator.

A couple of things you can do with any masturbator to make it feel more lifelike is to try soaking it in warm water before use so that it has a feeling of being body temperature or slightly warmer, and remember to use a good water-based lube. Often the men at Romantic Adventures enjoy nice warming with their masturbators. 

Types of Masturbators for Men

The size and kind of male masturbators on the market seems to expand every day, but there are basically three kinds of male masturbators on the market that you need to choose from based on your personal masturbation style and level of privacy.

Handheld Masturbators

This is your classic “Pocket pussy.” It is usually a soft sleeve made of body-safe material that is molded to look like a mouth of vagina or anus so that it can simulate vaginal sex, oral sex, or anal sex; whatever turns you on. The sleeve can slide over your penis as you apply pressure with your hand to masturbate with.

These are cheap, easy, and discreet. They are great for someone who's in a co-living situation who wants to handle things discreetly while they feel a sensation that is different from the pressure of their own hand.

The downside of these masturbators is that they're often made of such soft materials they don't stand up well to the intense friction of masturbation, and they often can't handle silicone lube. Improper lube applied to these makes them fall apart rather quickly.

If you have tried cheap versions of this toy and decide you like the sensation but want to better value for money, it might be worth moving up to one of the larger handheld devices that come with a hard case.

Fleshlight has a good line of durable masturbators that are very discreet and PDX elite is a good low-cost alternative with a soft interior and an exterior case firm enough to create enough support to make the toy much more durable. The case helps keep them clean while in storage.

Full Body Masturbators

Full-body masturbators seem to change in size and configuration every day. Not only do you have full-size dolls modeled after porn stars, but there are also beautiful body parts you may want to just focus on for masturbation sessions. Whether it’s boobs, butts, legs, or feet that tickle your fancy, there is a larger size masturbator out there for you.

The main feature of these larger masturbators is that you're able to position them in the stationary place and bring your body back and forth to create pleasure.

That may be a game-changer for somebody with peripheral artery disease or diabetes whose extremities are a little bit weaker and cannot take the repetitive motion for the sustained period that it may take to achieve male orgasm.

Alternately, they may be a great way to up your cardio and increase the level of your ground and pound game.

These masturbators are more durable and probably more interesting than their smaller cousins, but the downsides to these guys is that they are a little harder to be discreet with and may require a well-thought-out storage solution.

Automatic Masturbators

Or should we say automatic? The automatic masturbators fall in between the previous two for size, although they are still fairly small and discreet.

These masturbators are more in the mechanical sex toy territory. They often contain the vibrators or motors that course up-and-down the shaft and kind of cross over into the male pump area by creating suction at certain times on the shaft.

They are a bit of a blend of all good things.

As with cars, when we're talking about sex toys, you pay for the motor; the better the motor in the toy, generally the price of the toys are going to be higher.

This is a toy I would recommend going to your local adult store to pick out and take the time to talk to the staff to see what they recommend. There are new offerings in this space almost monthly, and it's definitely the cutting edge of sex toy technology. It’s best to ask the staff for the latest models that have come on the market to see what new things may interest you.

Does using a Masturbator Affect My Sexual Health?

Yes, actually using a masturbator does positively affect your sexual health. The British Journal of medicine has found that the average male needs to ejaculate 21 times per month to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

If you're not in an intimate relationship and don't have a partner willing to accommodate that, you should continue to express your sexuality simply for the health of your sexual organs and your sense of well-being.

There is absolutely no reason not to use a masturbator. It’s not addictive, and it makes you feel great.
