"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Listen, we're in the business of sex positivity. Let us, Esquire dot com, get on the record as saying: You—the world, at large—should be having more sex. There are studies every week that show Americans are having less sex, and that might be where a lot of our problems are stemming from. Ok, societal decline might not be the consequence of a sexually repressed population, but the way we've thought about sex, and sex toys, has long been heinously fucked up. The focus has always been on masturbators and sex dolls that promote a sad, solo idea of sex. That's not what we're about. Masturbate all you want, but sex toys should encourage real life sex.

Thankfully! The world is catching on. The boutique sex toy market is booming. You can now buy sex toys that aren't embarrassing to own, and we can finally get past the weird shit they sell at truck stops.

Sex toys for men—sorry, Google wants me to say men, I mean anyone with a penis—are in a wonderful place right now. Less egregious masturbation sleeves, high-tech prostate massagers, and silicone toys that belong on the bedside table—we're in a sex toy renaissance. The following 35 sex toys for men can help turn your sex life on its head—and while they can all be used solo, we encourage you to get out there and use them with a partner. And as always, use lube, even a condom, if necessary (read on for more helpful information about buying and using sex toys). To end, have fun.

HUGO 2

Straight men, trust us here. It's 2024, so we have no qualms in telling you that the most pleasurable sex toys for men are actually prostate massagers. And, the best prostate massager on the market is the new LELO HUGO 2.

With 2.83 inches of insertable length, it's manageable for the most timid of beginners. But, with two powerful motors, 16 settings, and an amazing app to control it all, it'll be up to par for more experienced users. It's great for solo sex, but it's even better for partner play. If you buy one thing off this list, go for this.

burn no. 1

Less a "toy" and not really something you'd use solo. But for two or more parties, lighting a candle and using the wax for a massage is irresistibly hot.

Sexual Performance Booster

Another one that's not a sex toy, so much as it is a sex accessory. Erectile dysfunction is a real diagnosed issue, and the little blue pill is the solution. That said, a lot of men are taking generic options available online when they don't really need something that clinical. Instead, consider a holistic solution.

Joymode's Sex Performance Booster is technically just a supplement—like a vitamin or pre-workout—that relaxes your blood vessels and promotes stronger blood flow. Sexually speaking, that means stronger erections, more stamina, and more pleasure. But, the big bonus is that it's all from your own body, and you won't have any side effects or dependencies without it.

Hot Octopuss | Pulse Solo Essential Vibrating Sleeve | Male Masturbator & Sex Toy for Men

This sleeve pulses and oscillates to upgrade penis masturbation without you having to put in a whole lot of manual labor. In fact, it's been dubbed the "world's first guybrator."

TOR 2

For penis + vagina couples, a vibrating cock ring can really take things to new heights. Lelo's smooth, matte silicone makes it incredibly comfortable on both of you. And the vibrations send everything to the next level. Takes care of everybody.

This device is for the orally inclined. Designed to feel like an actual mouth, you can use it on yourself. It's also great for couples where one of you loves receiving, but the other is not particularly keen on giving.

Quickshot Compact Masturbator

If a $10 masturbator weirds you out, Fleshlight, one of the most respected names in sex toys, makes a great budget masturbator. It's simple, under and great quality for $35.

Fleshlight Turbo Blue Ice Blowjob Simulator

Fleshlight is probably the most infamous of any male-focused sex toy brand, specifically for male masturbators. At this point, you can even custom design a Fleshlight to a very specific liking. But this non-anatomical, ice-blue Fleshlight, which tightens and loosens to your preference, more than gets the job done.

GoodHead Helping Head Pro

The inside of this silicone penis sleeve is textured, simple as that. But if you wanna spice things up, there is also a vibrating version that has a mini vibrating bullet slips into the head to send sensation through, well, the head, whether you're masturbating or fore-playing.

F1S V2

Lelo has one of the most high-tech masturbation machines on the market. The F1S sends sonic waves through your penis for an elevated experience, with multiple settings accessed through an app to cater to your whims. It'll even give you stats about your speed and stamina, which, you know, could be informative. It also doesn't look like a sex toy, which is great.

cone, medium

They've done the high-design treatment with vibrators for a long time, now it's making it's way to male sex toys. That beautiful green, the soft-touch silicone, the tasteful shape. So good-looking you might want to leave it on display. Don't! Or do, actually... Let that freak flag fly.

Revo

Ok yeah, it's obviously a prostate massager, but it's sleek enough to be deemed the "Best Looking" sex toy on this list. It's not a requirement, but the fact that this thing looks sleek and hot is enticing. Either way, with 34 different speed and rotation combos, this is one of your best buys if you're looking for P-Spot stimulation.

Revo Extreme

For those that want a little (a lot) more girth, the Revo Extreme is the exact same product as the Revo, but the shaft 6.25 inches around. It's by far one of the best products out there for an experienced user.

Anal Beads

Getting started in the world of anal beads? Or just want a simple, old fashioned option? This is it. Body-safe silicone, increasing bead size, and a well-sized pull ring—this is as simple as it gets.

Ignite Anal Beads

For those that prefer something more conical, Lovehoney makes good anal beads as well. A bit easier going in, with the same incredible release. They do taper in the opposite direction (big to small), though the size is manageable even for a beginner.

Anal Sex Toy Kit (6 Piece)

For full-service anal toys, Lovehoney makes a great kit. The set comes with a douche, anal beads, two plugs, and a prostate massager. Plus, there's an insertable vibe that works with any of the toys.

Rocket Ring

Slip this over a penis, and it'll slow down but intensify the experience, as well as spread the good vibes to your partner's clitoris.

Easy Beat Egg 6-Pack

Sometimes, good things come in small packages. The Tenga masturbation egg has an elastic inside that fits over any size and comes pre-lubricated. This pack includes various textures for an added level of pleasure, from a silky lining to a wavy one. And if you wanna go easy at first, starting with just one disposable Easy Beat Egg doesn't sound like a bad idea.

CockSling 2.0

If you've never used one, it's not as intense as it sounds. Similar to a cock ring, a ball-stretcher cuts off a bit of blood flow to help you last longer and orgasm harder. The "stretching" that happens is incredibly gentle and comfortable for anyone.

This option is as simple and effective as they come.

SilaSkin Cock and Ball Ring

A cock ring and then some, this silicone cock-ring-and-ball-stretcher toy slips over both to escalate intensity and pleasure, sans a battery pack.

Cock Ties

The issue with cock rings—especially those that go around your balls, too—is the one-size-fits-all-ness. Cock ties offer easy on the fly adjustment and the ability to tailor tightness to your liking.

Hardwear Unisex Joque Strap-On Harness

A toy for a penis-less partner to use in you, with a dildo. It's easy to wear, comfortable and well-received by many users.

Curved Silicone Dildo, 5.5 Inch

And here's a—very manageable—dildo to fit the strap-on.

Curved Silicone Dildo, 7 Inch

For those wanting a bit more length.

Wild Thing Vibrating Cock Ring

This 10-speed penis ring is designed to vibrate, stimulating the penis and testicles while simultaneously stimulating your partner's clitoris or perineum. With the remote control, you can do it to yourself, or leave the chosen intensity of teasing up to a partner for a bit of submissive stimulation.

Best Night Ever Couple's Sex Toy Kit

If you and your partner aren't 100 percent sure what you're into—or you do know, and what you're into is variety—then this kit of sex toy basics—ring, stroker, plug, and vibrator—covers plenty of bases (five, to be exact). Experiment happily.

3 Sizes Anal Dildos

Oh yes, dildo. Should you be shopping around for a dildo, this is a winner—comes in three sizes for all levels of sexual prowess, and with a suction base. Not to mention they're made with anal entry and g-spot stimulation in mind. Hubba hubba.

Helix Syn Trident Silicone Prostate Massager

Vibrations can be too much sometimes—too intimidating or too fast. Aneros makes a rubber prostate massager that doesn't require a battery to feel good, thanks to the angling of the head. It'll sit well down there, courtesy of its wide grip.

Manta Vibrating Stroker

The Manta looks menacing, but rest assured, it's not. This is a penis toy meant to make masturbation—or stimulation controlled by your partner—feel intensely pleasurable, with battery-powered vibrations and a ribbed design in the loops. Better yet, it's designed for couples play.

Water Based Personal Lubricant

Lastly, while lubricants for sex aren't exactly toys, they do make sex fun and safe, and that's all that matters. Astroglide's really slippery lube can be used on all condoms and sex toys—even the silicone ones—and it lasts surprisingly long despite being water-based.

Water-Based Lube

The water-based lube from maude is another one of our favorites. It's mostly down to how good the packaging looks.

Types of Sex Toys for Men

Generally, we can break it into three categories.

Cock Rings: This are rings that... well they go over your dick. The general benefit is that constricting the base of your penis sends more blood flow that way. A cock ring gets you harder and helps you sustain an erection. Beyond that, there are models that vibrate for your own pleasure, as well as your partner's pleasure.

Strokers: Generally, people are going to think of Fleshlights here, but strokers can be so much more. Instead of being sad little Goon Cave male masturbators, they can be used with partners for transcendent hand jobs and oral sex.

Prostate Massagers, Butt Plugs, Anal Beads: This last category is stuff that goes up your ass. That's a massive category, but it covers all the stuff that you're going to use to hit your P-Spot—the prostate, the real orgasm spot for people with penises.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind about Sex Toys

1. You might think you know how to use it, but always refer to instructions before you start. Don't force yourself.

2. Make sure the toy you get is made of body-safe materials—silicone, glass, stainless steel, etc.—and nonporous to eschew bacteria.

3. Water-based lube can be used on sex toys of any material, but do not use silicone-based lube with silicone sex toys—it'll ruin the toys.

4. If you're incorporating a sex toy into any sort of partnered sex, be sure to talk openly and confirm consent first.

5. If you're a beginner, go slow—use the lowest setting, the smallest size, the least vibrations, etc.

6. Keep the electronic sex toys charged.

7. Most sex toy retailers utilize covert shipping procedures, so a box won't land on your front porch whose labeling screams that you just ordered cock rings.

8. Pay no mind to the cringe-y names for some of these products; they do what they gotta do.
