SEX TOYS FOR MEN

THE PLAYFUL HELPERS FOR SELF-PLEASURE OR COUPLE SEX

Sex toys have changed in the last few years from dirty objects for sexually unsuccessful people into design and pleasure objects for everyone. There is an incredible variety of toys that make it difficult to keep track of them all. In this post we’ll talk about the three big categories of sex toys for men to make the agony of choice a little easier.

Therefore, even though you might come across some weird sentences, I am confident that you will be able to follow the post.
Thank you for your understanding and your sense of humor. 

Sex toys and the corresponding industry, have undergone an incredible change in the last two decades. If we used to think that sex toys were only for the losers among us men who are less successful in the hunt for erotic adventures, this image has changed significantly. For straight men, besides the sex doll with three openings, there were maybe a few handcuffs and a sad selection of whips and blindfolds. For gay men, the selection was also not exactly intoxicatingly larger, as dildos either corresponded to a listless recreation of a pornstar dick or to an abstract plastic cylinder with zero anatomical understanding. We don’t even want to talk about vibrators. Gone are the days when the neighbor next door knew when there was once again an emergency in the hormone balance that urgently needed to be regulated. 

If you look at sex toys today, you feel as if you have noble Italian design objects in front of you, which would find a place on every coffee table without causing embarrassing moments.

New materials, new technologies and also a new understanding of the male and female anatomy and physiology of pleasure, have helped the sex toy industry to a formal renaissance. Sex toys have become salon-worthy and have mutated from a smut object to a lifestyle object.

In the change of the last years, also we humans moved a little from the prudish middle age of the sexuality into a, let’s say more open behavior opposite the various play ways of the desire.

Women are happy about the discovery of the G-spot, while we men have been able to add the P-spot (prostate) to the assortment of sexual possibilities for us as a source of pleasure. 

With the development of the sex toy industry, our image of solo sex as second category sex is changing to a pleasurable wellness program for every man and woman. We sex counselors are especially happy about this, as we see masturbation as a playing field for learning and expanding our sexual range. Many sex toys can therefore contain a large learning factor in addition to the pleasure factor. Freely following the motto “practice makes perfect”, sextoys can be used to work on problems of couple sexuality. As an example, men who struggle with premature ejaculation can learn to control their desire with masturbators. We will talk about sex toys used in sex counseling in another post. In this post, we’d rather provide a brief overview of the different sex toy categories.

The boom in the sex toy industry is both a blessing and a curse. Where once there was sad one-sidedness on the shelves of sex stores (today, by the way, we say erotic specialty stores), today you are flooded with an incredible variety of options. So it’s not so easy to find your own personal pleasure dispenser. However, before this post mutates into a mileage text, let’s focus for now on the types of sex toys we men can enjoy.

THE THREE MAIN CATEGORIES

OF SEX TOYS FOR MEN

MASTURBATORS

The wonderful world of masturbators is giving our best friend (the talented hand) quite a run for its money. If the desire is there for more variety besides the usual “hand job”, masturbators help make solo sex more exciting. The selection of masturbators is huge. From the simple “disposable” masturbator, to the complex motor-driven, luxury model that also has built-in heating, there is everything on the market.

The principle is simple. Various penetrable plastic materials with different surface textures are offered either in solid sheaths or without sheaths. Simulated is either penetrative sex (anal, vaginal) or oral sex. Another criterion to consider when choosing a masturbator is that there are models that can be used without the use of hands (with a wall mount). I will gladly provide more information about masturbators in another post.

ANAL TOYS

Although anal play is still taboo for men, at least when it comes to their own anal area, the industry and behavior is evolving in the right direction. Here now the three main categories of sex toys for anal stimulation. More information on this topic will be written and published in the near future.

As the name suggests, these are sex toys specifically designed to stimulate the prostate. Their anatomical shape allows the transmission of pleasurable impulses to the prostate via the activation of the pelvic floor muscles. Prostate stimulators come in all kinds of sizes and materials. They are not only a lot of fun to use, but also have a positive effect on the strength of our erection.

Due to their special shape, butt plugs do not easily slip out of the anal area once they have been inserted. Thus, they create pleasurable feelings through the subtle pressure on the prostate and anal interiors. Butt plugs are often inserted and worn for a long time. Especially popular among lovers of butt plugs, is the walk with the inserted butt plug…. or the cozy candle light dinner with the lustful anticipation of a hot night of love. The difference between dildo and butt plug is that the butt plug is only inserted. With the dildo, pleasure is generated through the friction of penetration.

Long gone are the days when dildos were a rather lame reproduction of an oversized penis, or a rigid plastic cylinder. You can get them in all sorts of shapes, materials and colors. They come with or without a vibrator, and some can even simulate ejaculation. For beginners, there are thumb-sized dildos and for the ambitious, there are abstractly shaped dildos that are only remotely reminiscent of our best piece. The pleasure is generated in addition to the stimulation of the prostate via the friction during penetration (in-out).

KINK TOYS

In this category belong all sex toys that have to do with the world of BDSM, submission and domination. Everything that goes a bit beyond the “flower sex” (without negative value) in the conventional sense. For example, whips, claps, handcuffs, nipple clamps, cock rings, electrosex, etc. belong to this category.
