The 33 Best Sex Toys for Men—Whether You're With a Partner or Riding Solo

Is anybody having sex? Could societal decline be the consequence of a sexually repressed population? Seems likely. We see studies every week that show Americans are having less sex and wonder if that might where a lot of our problems are stemming from. Listen, we're in the business of sex positivity here, but let us, Esquire dot com, get on the record as saying: You should be having more sex.

The way men have been taught to think about sex, and sex toys, is heinously fucked up. The focus has always been on masturbators and sex dolls that promote a sad, isolate idea of sex. That's not what we're about. Jerk off 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.

Sex toys for the penis-owning population 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 33 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, get romantic, 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.) And hey, don't forget, sex is fun. Have fun.

Pros

Easy to use, great for first-time prostate-massager users

App control makes it perfect for partner play

Cons

Pricey

Straight men, trust us here. It's 2026, so we have no qualms telling you that the most pleasurable sex toys for men are actually prostate massagers made to go up your ass. 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.

Pros

Literally takes the work off your hands

A nice suite of movement and vibration

Cons

Currently only available in limited edition blue

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

Pros

One of the best silicones we've felt

Good vibrational variety for receiving partner

Cons

Flexible but can be tight on larger penises

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.

Pros

Amazingly advanced, a sci-fi sex toy

Best customization out there

Cons

A bit more techy than some need or want

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.

Pros

Tasteful shape and coloring make it all the more inviting

Cons

Just a simple butt plug, no cons really

They've done the high-design treatment with vibrators for a long time; now they're making their 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.

Material: 100% platinum-grade silicone

Insertable Length: 3.5 in.

Pros

Great entry into prostate massagers

Cons

More-expensive models have better vibration options

If you (or you and your partner) are interested in motorized prostate and perineum stimulation, Phanxy makes a simple, affordable massager with nine speeds. And its shaft will press back and forth like a finger to give you that "come hither" arousal.

Material: Silicone

Pros

Simple and great for partner play

Cons

Only marginally cheaper than nicer models with better materials

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

Pros

Classic, simple masturbator and blowjob enhancer

Great for couples or solo

Cons

Cleaning is a bit tedious but easy once you get the hang of it

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—and great quality for $40.

Pros

Simple, easy-to-use, a classic

Cons

Not made for partner play; a solo toy

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 nonanatomical, ice-blue Fleshlight, which tightens and loosens to your preference, more than gets the job done.

Material: Rubber

Pros

Looks and feels nice and sleek

Great for speed and rotation customization

Cons

Pricey

Okay, 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 sexy 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.

Pros

Perfect for those who need or want more volume

Same 34 movement combos

Cons

Not for the inexperienced

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

Pros

Simple, affordable, and so effective

Great for solo and partner play

Cons

Some may prefer more cone-shaped 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.

Pros

Easier in, still great coming out

Cons

Tapered big to small, not the reverse, if you want to start slow

For those who 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.

Pros

Great price for everything you get

Douche is a necessary buy for those new to anal

Cons

As with any kit, none of the individual pieces is incredible

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.

Pros

Improves stamina and heightens orgasms

Cons

Takes some getting used to

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.

Pros

The perfect pleasure combo

Simple to use and easy to clean

Cons

Higher price than other options

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.

Pros

Allows you to get that perfect fit

Cons

The surplus rope is a bit strange at first

A bolo tie for your dick and balls! 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.

Pros

Universal, works with whatever dildo you have on hand

Cons

Straps that hold it to the wearer aren't the best

It'll hold any dildo you want a partner to use inside you.

Pros

High-quality silicone and manageable size

Cons

Some might want more size

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

Pros

High-quality silicone

Curve makes it easier for the giver; anatomical head adds sensation for the receiver

Cons

More size than some want

For those wanting a bit more length.

Pros

Everything you need for strap-on and dildo play

Cons

Other strap-ons may feel more secure

If you want the dildos for the sole purpose of using them with a strap-on harness, this kit is the easiest option. The harness is secure, and the two dildos—with veins for extra sensation—are six and eight inches.

Pros

Amazing for long-distance couples

Cons

Too much work for solo play, in our opinion

This Bluetooth stroker is great for solo time but amazing for long-distance play. Have your partner download the app and they'll have various vibration levels and contraction settings to tease you with, from "slow wave" to "earthquake."

Pros

Great for those who have erection difficulties

Cons

A bit intense for those who don't really need it

To fully prep for a sexual encounter, try a manual pump that uses suction to bring

Pros

Incredible for couples

Cons

Not ideal for solo

This ten-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.

Pros

Great for those dipping their toes in

Cons

All the toys are a bit basic on their own

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.

Pros

Great size options

Cons

Feel cheap compared with higher-end options

Oh yes, dildo. Should you be shopping around for a dildo, this is a winner—it 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.

Pros

Great price

No need for batteries or charging

Cons

Doesn't vibrate, if you want that

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.

Pros

Perfect to have a partner control

Cons

A bit tedious for solo play

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.

Pros

Perfect for couples

Jojoba- and soybean-oil-based formula melts at a pleasant temperature

Cons

Not for solo use

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 sexy.

Pros

The best lube that's guaranteed safe with sex toys

Cons

Water-based lube takes some getting used to

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.

Pros

A holistic way to improve male performance

Can be taken every day, like a cardiovascular supplement

Cons

Not a sex toy, sorry folks

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.

Pros

Beautiful packaging

Safe for all toys

Cons

Higher price tag

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

Lube Type: Water-Based

Generally, we can break them 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: In general, 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 handjobs 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.

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 cringey names for some of these products; they do what they gotta do.
