When choosing your Sex Toy
The stigma surrounding adult toys for men is entirely unfounded. There is a wide variety of sexual toys for men on the market today, and it is jam-packed with everything you need for incredible sex and endless pleasure. Sex toys for men are designed with the ultimate sexual satisfaction in mind and for keeping sex positive.
Apart from sexual pleasure, they can provide you with longer, harder erections and to enhance performance in the bedroom. Toys for men can be used solo or as a couple. The possibilities are endless!
Does the size of the sex toy matter?
Yes, size matters. We’ve all put some inflated importance on penis size at some point, but as all sex toys for men vary in function and characteristics, you should really buy something that would be a good fit for you.
A penis pump for instance comes in different sizes, so choosing a pump should be according to the size of your penis. If you fancy a butt plug, but you have never tried anal sex, starting off with a smaller sized plug would probably be the best bet just until you are more experienced.
Check the dimensions and size requirements of your men’s sex toy before investing in it.
Should I use lubricant with my sex toy?
The golden rule of sex of any kind: Lube up! Even more so when it comes to anal penetration. The canal in the rectum does not produce fluids to lubricate the rectum for penetration. The muscle in the anus, the sphincter, is also quite tight and offers much more resistance than a vagina. Therefore it is wise to use a lubricant to make anal sex safe and to prevent tears.
Water-based lubricant
Water-based lubricant is a good choice for any type of penetrative sex, masturbation or use of a toy for men. It decreases the chance of condoms breaking and slipping off during intercourse, and it is generally a good choice for use with your men’s sex toy. Water-based lubricants are great for those who have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation. This lube does not stain fabric, and it is very easy to clean.
Water-based lubes do have some downsides though. They are not good for water-play/shower sex, as they will just wash away. Also, water-based lubes tend to get sticky and require frequent re-application. So if you are planning to have marathon sex, might we suggest another type of lubrication?
Silicone lubricant
Silicone lubricant lasts for hours, and it is generally more slippery than it’s water-based counterpart. This lube is great if you want to have sex in the shower as it doesn’t not wash away as easy as a water-based lube. You do need soapy water to clean up silicone lube and they might stain fabrics.
A word of caution though: don’t use this lubricant with a silicone men’s sex toy, as it may break down the material over time. Silicone lube is however fine with glass-, steel- and hard plastic men’s sex toys.
Oil-based lubricants
Oil-based lubricants last longer and they are also quite slippery. They are great for all kinds of sex and can be used for sensual massage. Do not use this type of lubricant with latex condoms as it can dissolve the latex and result in the condom breaking. The same goes for latex sex toys for men. Always check the instructions before use.
On the downside, oil lubricants can be difficult to clean, both off your body and fabrics.
keep a few things in mind:
When choosing a toy, consider factors like comfort, material safety, and ease of use. Only use body-safe materials such as silicone or stainless steel to avoid irritation or allergic reactions.
