What is a male masturbator? It’s a sex toy made of a sleeve designed to enhance solo pleasure through texture, suction strokers, vibration, or stroking motion. And they’re becoming super popular because they now offer more modern designs that give off realistic sensations, adjustable features, and performance benefits.

So today, we’re going to take a look at male masturbators, how they improve pleasure, sexual health, and stamina, and why every man should consider using one.

How Male Masturbators Work

Male masturbators have been designed for enhanced stimulation.

So, as we mentioned, it comes with a sleeve. This penis sleeve can have different textures, suction, and vibrational settings in order to intensify pleasure.

It’s been created in such a way that it simulates a realistic feel, giving off the sensation of enjoying penetration, receiving oral sex, or simply basking in manual stimulation, depending on which kind of male masturbator you’re using, for an even better solo experience.

There are two kinds of male masturbators:

Manual male masturbator: this kind of male sex toy allows you to have custom control over the speed and pressure. Automatic male masturbator: this kind of male sex toy offers hands-free pleasure with vibration, suction, or rotation modes.

The Top Benefits of Using a Male Masturbator

So, why should you use a male masturbator? Here are five of the top benefits of using a male masturbator:

Using a male masturbator enhances pleasure

This sex toy provides intense stimulation compared to hand use. It mimics the real sensation, offering a more immersive experience.

It heightens arousal and offers a variety of pleasure.

Using a male masturbator improves stamina

Control modes, delay orgasms, improve endurance, and practice edging techniques.

This could prove entirely helpful during partnered play because you could learn how to have a better handle on ejaculatory control and stamina, have a better performance, and last longer in bed.

Using a male masturbator can boost sensitivity and blood flow

Over time, a male masturbator can increase nerve stimulation and arousal response, which can lead to better erectile functioning by encouraging a healthier blood flow to the penis. You could also experiment with different sensations such as vibrations and textures in such a way that you can heighten your sensations, resulting in bigger orgasms.

This is a great thing for those who are living with performance anxiety or decreased sensitivity, or those who want to enhance penile sensitivity or circulation.

Using a male masturbator supports sexual wellness and stress relief

Did you know engaging in sexual activity, especially to the point of orgasm, releases feel-good hormones like endorphins, oxytocin and dopamine? These hormones make us feel happier, more relaxed and satisfied, and also decrease the stress hormone, cortisol.

This means that using a male masturbator can help you destress and unwind, find a healthier relationship with solo pleasure, enjoy an improved mood, and aid in better sleep.

Using a male masturbator can be great for partnered play & long-distance relationships

Some male masturbators have app capabilities that allow partners to control them in-person or remotely. This is great for couples who want to incorporate this type of play together, or for couples who want to explore new sensations.

Not all male masturbators are the same. So instead of choosing one at random, here’s a nifty little guide to make sure you get the best bang for your buck!

For beginners: aim for a manual male masturbator that’s soft or a classic penis sleeve.

For intense sensations: you may love a suction-based or a vibrating male masturbator.

For stamina training: a male masturbator with an adjustable penis sleeve and different tightness levels will be the best idea.

For a realistic feel: go for a male masturbator that’s made of flesh-like material with warming options.

In this way, an app-controlled male masturbator can be a fun tool for mutual exploration and perhaps even stamina training before intercourse.

How to Choose the Right Male Masturbator for You

For hands-free play: try an automatic or interactive app-controlled stroker.

How to Use a Male Masturbator Safely & Effectively

Once you’ve gotten yourself a male masturbator, the next step is learning how to use it safely and effectively. Here are five easy steps on how to use a male masturbator:

Step One: Apply Lubricant

Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to both your penis and the inside of the masturbator for a smooth and friction-free movement.

Step Two: Aroused & Erect

Make sure that you’re feeling aroused and erect before you slide yourself into the masturbator. If it’s your first time, go slow to figure out if the texture and tightness is comfortable for you. It should feel comfortable and snug.

Step Three: Experiment with Speed & Grip

Now you can try different stroke motions, pressure levels, and angles for maximum pleasure.

Step Four: Test Different Sensation Settings

If you’re using a vibrating or suction stroker, you can explore various intensity levels.

Step Five: Clean it Thoroughly

Once you’re done using your male masturbator, you want to make sure it’s properly clean and stored correctly. To do this you can rinse it with warm water or use a toy cleaner after each use. Then, you can let it air dry completely to prevent any bacteria buildup.
