A couple days ago I was prompted to help a guy friend find a sex toy. I had never really looked in depth at what there was out there to choose from for men. I knew about the fleshlight. I had seen pocket pussies and ass replicas. I was determined to find a really good toy for my buddy. This would mean I’d need to find something that (a)was healthy, meaning made of silicone or a material that does not contain pvc or phthalates , (b)looked appealing, & (c) received good reviews.
The health thing proved to be challenging. Silicone is the next best material for sex toys other than glass (who would want to fuck a glass pussy right?). Silicone is non-porous so you don’t have to worry about germs and things getting into the tiny holes in the toys and flourishing. Silicone can also be boiled or placed in the dishwasher to disinfect. I can find silicone dildos for days, but in my search I only came across 1 purely silicone masturbation sleeve that was appealing, the Tantus Stroker & Stroker XL which are both pictured below in the center. I think the problem with silicone for men may be the texture. It’s probably hard to make a 100% silicone toy that would have a nice feel for guys. There were many many toys out there that definitely passed the looks test. I’d fuck quite a few of them! My favorites were the realistic vaginas and ass/pussy replicas. The material they were made of though were just scary as far as what went into them. I didn’t want my friend sticking his dick in that! It was not hard to find many toys that had good reviews. Edenfantasys has a great ratings and reviews system which I found very helpful. Below are my top picks. You can click on any of the images to view the full descriptions of them, see more pics, and purchase them if you’d like!
When I found the
Tantus Stoker (the two pictured in the center) I showed it to my friend. At first be both agreed that would be the one. We also decided that he would need the
XL which is a bit longer and wider than the original stroker (he’s a great friend, haha!). But then he decided that the open ended design and non realistic look were not what he wanted after all. My search then got harder. A silicone sleeve with a realistic look. I found none. I did notice on
Edenfantasys though that they have a material safety scoring system that I fell in love with.
My next find was the Sue Johanson Big Honcho (pictured above far left). It had a materials safety score of 7 and did not contain in PVC from what I could tell. And although it was clear the opening of the sleeve was molded like a vagina. This toy came in a bit short for my guy though with a vaginal depth of 5 1/2″. So my search continued.
I then looked back at the pocket pussies that had the most realistic look and feel while still being somewhat healthy. I came across the Peach Pai masturbator (pictured far right). Made of TPE which has a safety rating of 6, and does not contain phthalates. It’s a japanese toy with a hentai/somewhat realistic look. The inside and texture of this toy just looks awesome and the closed end creates a bit of suction during use. It’s gotten great reviews. It wasn’t too expensive either. This toy is on the way!
If you’re a dude and you’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a toy for yourself, I encourage you to check out what’s out there. Do your research so you don’t end up with with something you really don’t like. Go to your local adult novelty store. Don’t be shy! The staff there are not judgmental and are willing to help you have a good experience. Keep your health and hygiene in mind when shopping.
I also challenge the adult toy industry to come up with healthier & safer, but also more realistic toys for guys. ‘Cause let’s face it, when it comes to men, the visuals are a big part of the experience as well as feel. And we want to keep those penises healthy!
Lastly, if you’d like to enjoy a sex toy, but are too shy to purchase one or just don’t want to shell out the cash, I’d like to share this cool article on the 7 Greatest Homemade Sex Toys For Men.
Happy Masturbating!! <3
