The Best Sex Toys, According To Men

There's a common misconception that sex toys are just for lonely women who can't get laid —  butwith a partner? Take a look for yourself below. Spoiler: Penis rings make the cut not just once, but twice!

Masturbation. From the techniques used to the way it's viewed by society, the practice and perception of masturbation has significantly changed over time. The most significant shift? The use of sex toys by both women and men. Indeed, there are now a slew of toys that help guys think outside the box when they’re choking the chicken, so to speak. Finally.

Couples. But sex toys aren’t just made for solo sessions. In fact, couples are increasingly incorporating their battery-powered gadgets into their sexual repertoire, Men’s Health reports. Meaning, that, both men and women are not only using their sex toys when they’re alone, but when they’re together as well. In fact, as Men’s Health notes, of the 53 percent of women who report owning naughty gadgets, a whopping 81 percent of them have used it with their significant other, Emily Morse, sexologist and host of the "Sex With Emily” podcast, told the men’s magazine.

Men. Safe to say, then, that guys are becoming more and more comfortable with using sex toys not just alone, but with a partner as well. “Men are growing more accustomed to the idea of introducing sex toys into a relationship,” Morse told Men’s Health. “It’s something new and exciting; your sex life always needs to be moving forward and expanding.”

Tips. So, where can you start things off if you’re a dude looking for a toy to use either alone or with a partner? And conversely, where should you start if you’re a woman looking for a toy to gift to your male partner? (’Tis the season, after all.) Fortunately, Men’s Health spoke to some sexperts in the field to find out which toys ranked top when it came to pleasure.

Penis ring. First up is none other than the penis ring. But not just any penis ring: We’re talking about The Big O, a multi-stage reusable vibrating penis ring. Pleasure factor aside, this bad boy goes through a whopping nine stages, and even contains a “clitoris tickler” which helps her reach climax sooner. Um. Yes, please.

Stronic Zwei. The Stronic Zwei, as Men’s Health points out, is especially unique because it’s not just a vibrator. Instead, it’s a “pulsator,” which simply means it goes back and forth — not side to side. The result? A gadget that mimics the sensation of sex and feels good as hell.

Stronic Zwei. “Men and women who use it on themselves love it,” Eric Marlowe Garrison, a clinical sexologist and author of "Mastering Multiple Position Sex,” told Men’s Health. “People who try it leave their vibrators in the drawer.” And with a tagline that reads “Trust the Thrust,” you know it’s gotta be good.

A&E Complete Lover’s Kit. Simply put, this multi-speed, multi-vibration gadget is a must-have. The seven-piece set features a wide range of toys, including a 7-inch Multi-Speed Vibrator, Stimulating Penis Ring, and three sleeves to slip over the vibes for a number of oh-so satisfying sensations. Hot.

Clone-A-Willy & Clone-A-P*ssy. Newsflash: You can actaully clone your penis — or your partner’s vagina if you’re straight) — with an at-home kit. Indeed, the Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-P*ssy set has been on the market for a while now, and it’s a customer favorite for one major reason: It’s perfect for long-distance relationships. Not to mention, relationships where one travels often. #Smart.

Slip & Zing: Organic Lubricant & Get Set. If you’re looking to add some surprises to your bedroom, the Slip & Zing set is ideal. The kit features a tingly mix of arginine, niacin, peppermint, rose hip extract, and evening primes extract, and even comes with a water-based lubricant. Best of all? It’s also pretty chic looking.

Triple Erection System. You know that awkward moment where your soldier isn’t staying at, um, full salute? Well, the Triple Erection System is just the fix you’re looking for! The triple set of jelly rings features three levels of support — extreme, intense, or tight — so that you can keep things harder for way, way longer.

Adam’s Stroker Trio. Variety is the spice of life, and the Adam’s Stroker Trio gives you three naughty strokers in one wondrous box. The set includes a butt, a mouth, and a vagina, all of which share one thing in common: They really want you to slip *it* in (*wink*).

We-Vibe 4 Plus. Whether they’re in the same room or on a different continent, the We-Vibe 4 Plus lets couples connect in new, exciting ways. As Men’s Health notes, it’s the latest trend in “teledildonics,” which is just a fancy word for electric sex toys that can be controlled by a mobile device. So, exactly how does it work? We’re glad you asked.

We-Vibe 4 Plus. The gadget has an app that can be used to operate — and thus, control — the vibrator from wherever you are. Literally. This means that the toy can be used for foreplay or long-distance relationships — not to mention, alone or as a couple. Kinky, right?

Cobra Libre II. Last but certainly not least: the Cobra Libre II. Taking the shape of a vacuum cleaner, this toy snugly slips over just the head of the penis. Then, it vibrates in adjustable patterns and speeds. “It’s perfect for men who want stimulation of the glands of the penis, which is often ignored,” Garrison told Men’s Health. And similar to its predecessors, it can be used as both a masturbatory tool or with a partner during foreplay.
