What is a male masturbator?

Male masturbators are sex toys specifically made and used by men / people with a penis. Masturbators come in different sizes, materials, designs/ patterns, orifices, and functionalities.

They also come in both vibrating and non-vibrating as well as manual and automatic which you can read about down below.

Masturbators come in different orifices to stimulate various types of penetrative sex. For example – Vaginal sex, Anal play, Oral or something just for edging. And there are also options that don’t have any of these, where it’s just a hole.

Types Of Male Masturbators;

Handheld/ Penis Strokers- This is a great product to start with if you are a newbie to the world of sex toys. Strokers have a non-realistic appearance, you'll

Pocket Vaginas / Eggs- Known as “Pocket Pussies”, these masturbators are both pocket friendly (usually) and mobile. Also most models, especially ones made from TPE are designed for single use only and should be disposed of afterwards. However, there are more durable options made from medical grade silicone which can be reused if they are cleaned, dried and maintained properly. On the other hand, we have Egg shaped masturbators which often come in the shape of an egg that do stretch over the shaft. Best of all, they are portable! Their overall design allows for a wide range of entry to the penis. Some provide suction that stimulates both the tip and the shaft. As much as some brands claim to be durable & reusable, you can only use them for about 6 months tops (also depending on how often it is used) before the sleeve gets mushy, losses it’s texture and becomes just…meh

Male Realistic Masturbators/ Sex Dolls- Realistic masturbators and sex dolls are both designed like real human parts. They are penetrable and have openings that will make you feel like you’re having real sex (as real as it can get). You’ll find sex dolls mimicking the vagina, anus, mouth, and breasts! Yes they ae squishy! (some sex dolls are designed after males too so some do also have penises, or bit of both if it’s a trans sex doll!) It’s always advisable to use generous amounts of WATER BASED LUBE ONLY when using these kinds of masturbators to get the maximum pleasure!

Automatic masturbators– These masturbators have built in motors that do a few different things depending on the product. Some can have 1 function or multiple. These functions include; Stroking, Thrusting, Rotating, Compressing and of course Vibration. This also means they don’t have to be putting in as much work as it does it all for you! Some even have a locking suction attachment that is removable and adjustable that you can put on pretty much any flat surface to have a hands free experience!

How do you clean a male masturbator?

Cleaning your masturbator is a MUST! When you don’t clean your masturbator, it will invite bad bacteria to have a party with your body fluids!! Not a good idea!

Definitely use an anti-bacterial toy cleaner as they are very effective in killing bacteria lurking on/ in your sex toys! Best to also look out for toy cleaners that are safe for the human skin as well. Always do random checks after every use to identify any breakage or cutes as this is where most of the bacteria builds up. It’s most important to clean these spots really well or just buy a new toy is the damage is too big. Depending on your toy

How to warm a male masturbator

It’s always important to warm your masturbating sleeves beforehand. This gives the sleeves a more lifelike appeal and gets them in the mood right away with the familiar warmth. There are quite a few different ways you can warm up your sleeve including; using warm water, warming lubes or a warming rod.

Warming rods;

There have been some controversies on multiple sex doll/ masturbator forums about using a warming rod, so after doing extensive research, here’s what I found on how to use these safely. Warming rods or wands are basically sticks that are mostly used by Fleshlight owners to warm up their sleeves and make their masturbation session more comfortable and pleasurable. First of all, before they purchase a warming rod you have to take the material of their masturbator into consideration. Fleshlights  are mostly made out of TPE which is a material that’s incredibly soft and feels super realistic, however, its very known flaw is that it’s not handling high temperatures all too well and it can get damaged easily if exposed to direct heat. To be precise, fleshlights and sex dolls made out of TPE start to lose integrity when exposed to heat above (48°C), so as long as you keep the wand to about (37°C), which is a standard body temperature, you shouldn’t be having any issues with the material. On the other hand, silicone sex dolls can take a slightly higher temperature without the risk of getting damaged, which is already an advantage over TPE sex dolls. Furthermore, silicone is a great insulator which means once you thoroughly warm up your doll, she will stay nice and warm probably for the whole evening, depending on what’s the temperature in your room. However, warming wands aren’t very strong and it usually takes 2-3 cycles of warming (which usually lasts anywhere from 6 to 9 minutes per cycle) to warm up your masturbator to a somewhat pleasant temperature. This makes them a good and cheap option for both masturbator materials, however, their only flaw is that they can warm up one orifice at a time unless you purchase two or three wands/ rods.
