The 31 Best Sex Toys for Men to Enhance Self-Pleasure and Partner Play
Sex toys tend to be associated with female pleasure, but the fun isn’t limited to the female experience. There are plenty of sex toys for men to enhance an orgasm and maximize sex positions. The best part? Most of the male sex toys on this list can be used during solo and partner play.
The sex toy industry has come a long way since dildos, turning from practically a cottage industry into a $32.7 billion global behemoth. Of course, with that meteoric rise comes improved technology, better mechanics, and a cornucopia of pretty great choices for men.
Male sex toys aren’t exactly something people discuss at the dinner table. That doesn’t mean they’re particularly scandalous. “I can’t imagine somebody being in a sexual relationship for a long time without exploring sex toys,” says Ava Cadell, a Ph.D. in human sexuality and founder of Sexpert.com. “I think it’s a very unselfish thing to bring into the relationship.” As a sex counselor, Cadell discusses and recommends sex toys on a regular basis to her clients.
Who Uses Sex Toys
Cadell says the people who most often come to her to talk sex toys often fall into three categories—and they might not be who you think. The first is people who need a little added stimulation because they’re experiencing sexual dysfunction of some kind. This can be caused by a variety of things like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or prostate cancer. The second group includes couples interested in adding something different to their sex lives, which can also mean adding another person or new location. The third group, she says, comprises singles who are also interested in getting the best sex they can.
Just because a person or a couple wants to use sex toys, doesn’t mean they’re living some crazy, alternative lifestyle. “In real life, the guy and girl next door have a whole bunch of sex toys under their beds,” says Cadell. “They really are in the mainstream.” She estimates that sales of BDSM toys alone have quadrupled thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey. Plus, male sex toys come in many shapes, sizes, and styles for all kinds of personal tastes.
How to Talk to Your Partner About Using Sex Toys
As with many situations having to do with sex, a person’s mindset when it comes to exploring sex toys will affect their experience. Broaching the topic of sex toys, particularly with a partner, can be awkward or even insulting if gone about the wrong way. Or it can be great.
“If you bring it up as something new and exciting for the two of you, it can be an added form of foreplay,” says Cadell. Going to a nice sex shop can even make for a memorable date night.
If your partner is feeling self-conscious, try adding a blindfold. Blindfolding a partner allows them to let go of their inhibitions, like worrying how their body looks or what faces they’re making. It can help make anyone better in bed.
Can You Get Addicted to Sex Toys?
There are some people who can only reach sexual satisfaction using sex toys but that’s only a small set of enthusiasts. “It’s like dessert,” says Cadell. “You don’t need it, but when you have it, it sure is yummy.” She says that, for most people, sex toys are a way to switch things up, not a requirement. It’s also good to know that there’s no evidence that people get addicted to sex toys.
What to Know Before Using Male Sex Toys
Most male sex toys are sold as novelty items, which means they aren’t regulated. Due to the lack of oversight, Cadell cautions that users should be careful to use toys in the intended ways. Most of the potential hazards are fairly straightforward: Don’t submerge a toy in water if it’s not explicitly water-safe, don’t use vibrators daily for hours on end, and only toys with flared handles should go in the anus—otherwise a rather mortifying ER visit may follow.
Shockingly, Cadell says most sex toys come without instruction. As with most aspects of sex, the more you know about your toys, the better experience you’ll have. She recommends doing serious research on your toys of choice, including reading reviews and watching tutorials (which can range in terms of explicitness).
How to Clean Sex Toys for Men
Sex toys get all kinds of bodily fluids on them when used. That means they need to be cleaned after every single use. Cadell specifically recommends buying a sex toy cleaner (some toys don’t survive the dishwasher). She also says toys should be wrapped individually when stored because certain plastic and lube combinations can cause melting.
The Best Sex Toys for Men of 2024
When thinking of sex toys, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to imagine everything that’s out there because there’s a massive variety. “The great things is, there’s something for everybody,” says Cadell.
People who don’t know much about sex toys often assume they’re going to look like genitals. While there are plenty of those, Cadell particularly likes the toys that aren’t shaped like penises or vaginas, such as vibrators shaped like rings. Not only can these make people a little more comfortable with the idea of a sex toy, they’re great for travel.

MysteryVibe Tenuto 2 
For partner play, Natassia Miller, sexuality educator and founder of Wonderlust, the company with a mission to help couples thrive in their sex lives and relationships, suggests Tenuto 2. The hands-free vibrator helps men last longer and stimulates both partners at the same time.
“This award-winning toy can look intimidating at first, but it fits comfortably between the penis,” explains Miller. “Its sleek design improves blood flow to the region, while stroking the perineum, building up to a powerful orgasm. If you want to enjoy it during shower sex, it’s water resistant, too.”
Outside of the shower, Miller says the best positions to maximize the vibrations for everyone include horizontal cowgirl, missionary, and star. The Tenuto has six motors, 16 stimulations, and an app with vibrations you can personalize.
