Part of the whole hook of male masturbators is creating something that’s as close to the real thing as possible. This stroker attached to a device that lets you set the speed and length of each stroke, so you have full control over your pleasure even while taking a more hands-off approach than usual. One of the most fascinating features of the Handy is that you can sync it up to a porn video using Bluetooth, which is about as close to partnered sex as you can get when you're all alone.

Design is so important when it comes to sex toys. Even more so when it’s male masturbators, and the way the Octopuss is designed is ingenious. The open design means it’ll fit any penis, although you will need to play around with it a bit to find the right angle. Sometimes they're anatomical looking, sometimes they're not. Sometimes they resemble a flashlight (in which case, you'd better hope the wrong person doesn't happen upon it in a power cut), sometimes they're something absolutely unique. There's no right or wrong in the Fleshlight world – just what feels best.Beyond putting a new dish on the masturbation menu, a Fleshlight can also potentially help with sexual problems you might be experiencing, like “ death grip syndrome” or premature ejaculation. “Certain patterns of masturbation, particularly manually or with rougher materials, can alter sensitivity over time,” Conger says. “A Fleshlight prevents this from happening, making sure there is no overstimulation or chafing to any part of the penis.” Of course, the best sex toys are no replacement for a doctor’s opinion, especially when it comes to a healthy orgasm. What are the different Fleshlight types? Our tester found this toy didn't gel especially well with their particular measurements, but commented that the clear design does amp up the excitement levels, and found the inner material felt skin-like and supple. Also be aware that it's not exactly the most discreet toy, being pretty large and very difficult to mistake for anything other than exactly what it is. Pro tip: If you finish first and your partner hasn’t, take the Tor and place it on your middle and ring fingers while you finger her. She’ll likely appreciate the vibrations. Finally, there’s the VR mode which, as you can probably guess, lets you hook up a VR headset for an even more immersive experience.

The golden rule of sex toy usage is to either use a condom each time, therefore throwing away any bacteria in between uses, or clean it thoroughly. No! You can't go blind from masturbating too much. Nor will your penis fall off. Unless you're a male spider. Then when you have sex it will, in fact, fall off. Sorry spiders. Should've stayed celibate. Now that you have a better idea of what to look for, here are some of the best toys in all of those major categories and more. Ease of Use: 3.5 / 5 | Durability: 4 / 5 | Fun Factor: 3.5 / 5 | Features: 4.5 / 5 | Value: 3 / 5 | Overall Rating: 3.7 / 5 Fleshlight Ice models: Most Fleshlights are opaque, but these models are translucent, so you can see yourself thrusting in and out. A go-to model if you (or your partner) enjoys a visual.Some more sensitive users find the textured canals of typical Fleshlights a little too much. But not everything has to be lumpy, bumpy, and covered in all kinds of geometric shapes –the Pink Lady and Pink Butt, the Fleshlights that started it all, keep it smooth inside.They're not exactly baggy; most men will find a reasonably tight canal (and, on the Pink Butt, a suitably small opening) gives all parts of the penis plenty to experience on the way in, but the soft material means you won't be fighting to enter, and there's a pressure relief valve on the rear with which to find a balance of suction and slide. In terms of the design, one end features a soft, non-toxic faux vagina while the insides are ribbed for your pleasure. It all works really well and feels like a real premium product.

Ease of Use: 4 / 5 | Durability: 4.5 / 5 | Fun Factor: 4.5 / 5 | Features: 4 / 5 | Value: 3.5 / 5 | Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 How to Use: Put your Fleshlight into the hole on the mount, lube up the inside of the Fleshlight sleeve with water-based lube, get on top of the mount, and thrust inside.

As a newcomer, I’d personally pass. Just get a basic fleshlight. But for people who have a draw full of toys, this is one solid investment and a great way to expand the collection further. It’s surprisingly easy to clean, though it’s worth pointing out as it makes use of silicone, TPE, and ABS plastic, warm water is the best liquid to clean it with. Also, be sure to use a water-based lube. The range has plenty of anatomical reproductions, with vagina, mouth and anus openings designed for straight, gay or curious enjoyment. Fleshlight has also reproduced the parts of various porn stars of both orientations, which might help you get a bit closer to your favourite adult material.
