The 19 Best Sex Toys for Men in 2024, Approved by Our Sex Writers
Gone are the days of sitting on your digits to numb them enough for an authentic-feeling hand job. Nowadays, sex toys — specifically masturbators, cock rings and prostate massagers — take all the hard work out of the pursuit of self-pleasure.
But it seems some of you still need convincing when it comes to accepting the help of orgasmic gadgetry. LELO’s 2023 Sex Census revealed that just 38.5% of men and people with penises admit to regularly using sex toys.
This figure is certainly progress, proving that we’re finally (!) moving away from the idea that sex tech is a mediocre replacement for a human partner, or exclusively reserved for the sex-obsessed. However, we’ve still got a majority to convince.
So here’s a logical place to start: our list of the best sex tech of 2024, so you’re not left feeling frustrated, confused and/or sore.
Keep reading for our edit of the best sex toys for men in 2024, plus a reminder of the benefits of toy play, and a run-down of the common types. You're welcome.

How We Choose the Best Sex Toys for Men
In the name of research, we tasked a team of willing volunteers — spanning the sexuality and gender identity spectrum — with testing every toy in this line-up, as well as some others that didn’t make the cut.
After an examination of each plaything, our testers went in search of some serious self-pleasure. Using their sex tech with and without partners and in various positions and locations (bedroom, bathroom, hotel balcony), our team evaluated every feature, from travel locks to Bluetooth connections.
Plus, because we’re all different when it comes to our tastes and our tackle, we also scoured the online review section for any experiences that differed from our own.
Types of Male Sex Toys
We won’t judge you for not knowing your P-spot probe from your stroker because, in recent years, we’ve been inundated with new faces launching unique takes on the classics, or totally fresh styles in the sex toy realm.
So, let’s take it back to the basics, with a quick outline of the various toy types available to men and people with penises.
Male Stroker
Male strokers, or sleeves, are sex toys designed to be penetrated. They augment traditional hand-to-penis masturbation and are often lined with ribs, dips or tight canals to stimulate the outside of your member.
Being manual toys, you decide on the speed and intensity of the action by moving the sleeve up and down. This makes them, at least in MH’s opinion, one of the least intimidating sex toys, so they're ideal for beginners.
Voy Premium Compact Stroker
The fact that airport security may mistake this wank tank for a camera lens or portable Bluetooth speaker is a major selling point — as well is the fact it delivers customisable pressure exactly where you need it.
Yep, this stroker sits at the tip of your shaft and squeezes while you stroke. Essentially, it mimics the classic hand job, but won’t suddenly lose pressure or suffer from that perfectly-timed hand cramp.
Plus, that unique Tightness Adjustment System (TAS) means users can choose from one of eight pressure settings or work their way through them all during their next manhandling.
The verdict: 4.1/5
‘We’d argue it’s a less intense route to the finish line in comparison to shaking strokers, but is primed for those working on their edging skills.’
Ghost Reversible Textured Stroker
We love the newfangled sex tech making up most of our line-up. After all, most of these clever suckers/massagers take all the 'job' out of hand job. But sometimes there's nothing better than going back to basics.
This textured sleeve is designed to treat your schlong during a standard rub. Simply decide if you fancy ribs or dips — yep, this one’s double-sided — and get to it.
Packed into a handy travel case, this stroker is also ideal to chuck in your carry-on. All that’s left to say is welcome to the Mile High Club.
The verdict: 3.7/5
‘The Ghost isn’t the most exciting addition to solo or partnered play but is a decent introduction if you’re shopping for the first time. Just be generous with water-based lube to avoid friction burn.’
Pocket Pussies and Realistic Vaginas
Rather unsurprisingly, these are strokers designed to look a little more like the real thing, with openings moulded to mimic human vaginas, arseholes or mouths.
Choose from a handheld pocket pussy, a realistic torso, a Fleshlight, or go all out and treat yourself to a RealDoll.
So, whether you’re newly single, playing the long-distance game or simply missing human interaction, consider this toy type the answer.
Hard Drive Vibrating Masturbator
Porn has its place when your imagination is lacking, and pocket pussies work in a fairly similar way. And while we’re a fan of Fleshlights — probably the most popular brand when it comes to realistic vaginas, disguised in torch-style casing and designed to replicate your favourite adult star’s anatomy — there’s no ignoring the fact they're an investment.
For first-timers looking for some lifelike fun, this Ann Summers masturbator does the job. Lined with random ribs and dips housed behind a vaginal-style opening, fans say the teaser feels ‘pretty close to the real thing.’ But if you need a little more force, this also comes with a removable bullet vibrator that makes it dance from the inside.
The verdict: 3.6/5
‘This doesn’t look or feel particularly premium, but it does the job for assisted solo satisfaction.’
Cock Rings
For chaps who hanker after a rock-hard erection and extra staying power, a cock ring can help firm things up by restricting blood flow back down the penis.
If you’re enjoying partnered sex, we suggest shopping for vibrating rings adorned with added clitoral/perineum stimulation nubs to boost your chances of a mutual orgasm.
Duelist
Forget meeting the parents or setting up a joint bank account — a moving, shaking cock ring should be the first big step in any committed relationship.
As well as strengthening your erection by limiting blood flow back down the penis, vibrating pleasure rings also deliver sweet sensations to the receiver. In the case of Satisfyer's Duelist, that raised nub seeks out their perineum/clitoris with ease.
And despite coming in at just under £34, this ring of fire comes with 12 rolling rhythms and works just as well as a finger vibrator. Simply slide it onto two digits before seeking out all 31 of your bedmate’s erogenous zones.
The verdict: 4.3/5
‘The textured arrow-shaped head offers both pinpointed pleasure and widespread vibrations depending on how you angle it. We’re also big fans of the customisable fit.’
Atom Plus Cock Ring
Our pet peeve: when your chosen cock ring decides to go rogue, twisting and turning to direct the vibrating nub anywhere but where you want it. Thankfully, Hot Octopuss founder Adam Lewis used his own experiences (both good and bad) to inform his design decisions, and this ring of fire was born.
The Atom Plus comes with two motors — one to sit on top of your disco stick, and the other under — to prevent it from spinning. However, they also deliver different sensations, the Treble emitting surface-level sensations, and the Bass offering lower-frequency vibrations that travel all the way to your toes.
The verdict: 4.2/5
‘We love that the inner ring is large enough to house one or both balls, as well as your schlong, meaning they’re not left out of the action either.’
Smart Vibe Ring
Is that a vibrating penis ring in your pocket or are you just pleased by our pursuit for intense pleasure? That's right, this circumspect sex toy (and wannabe USB?) could easily slide onto your keyring, and no one would be any the wiser.
But when used for its intended purpose, this silicone shaker, measuring up at just 3.5 inches, packs quite the punch. Simply slip it onto your erect member and prepare for delightfully rigid sensations for you and clitoral-targeted vibrations for her.
It's also waterproof, USB rechargeable, and arrives in a discreet carry case, so you can enjoy mutual orgasms with your better half almost anywhere.
The verdict: 4.1/5
‘The definition of small but mighty, this cock ring does the job of boosting your erection power and sending sweet sensations to both parties, while being small enough to fit in any pocket/handbag.’
Male Masturbators
Again, male masturbators are penetrative, canal-shaped toys, except they also vibrate, shake and change temperature. Essentially, they do a lot of the work for you, with your role limited to working the control panel.
F1S V3 Pleasure Console
All good things come from Sweden: IKEA, Spotify, Volvo; need we say more? But to really hammer the point home, Scandi sexual wellness brand LELO offers innovative, app-controlled bedroom gadgets that MH is a big fan of.
Take the F1S V3; the third iteration of the brand’s best-selling masturbator. The designers say the device ‘doesn’t try to imitate any known sensation like fellatio or penetration; it stimulates the phallus with sonic waves from all sides without needing extra thrusting motion.’ Great.
But what really cemented this as one of our favourite releases of 2024? The fact it’s fitted with AI allows it to listen and learn before offering tailor-made vibrations.
And for those worried about a snug fit, consider upgrading to the XL, which offers a more generous diameter.
The verdict: 4.8/5
‘There’s no ignoring the fact the F1S V3 is a robot orifice, that metal casing nothing like the human mouth. But we like that it learns what you enjoy before offering new unique modes.’
Pulse Solo LUX Guybrator
This is pretty aptly named because boy, does it get your pulse racing. Coined the world's first 'guybrator,' Hot Octopuss' best-selling sleeve is designed to sit around your shaft, sending sweet sensations straight to your frenulum.
If you weren’t aware — although we really hope you are — that’s the little ledge on the underside of your penis that, when stroked, sends you soaring towards orgasmic orbit.
And, thanks to its open design, the guybrator can even be applied to flaccid dongs, making it an ideal aid if you sometimes struggle with erectile dysfunction.
Let’s not forget that Apple Watch-style remote that’s included in every box too.
The verdict: 3.8/5
‘It’s a snug fit, but the oscillating movements are enough for an intense, hands-free orgasm.’
Control — Device and App
While it's not strictly a sex toy, the MyHixel package certainly puts your sexual pleasure centre stage. That's because the handheld stroker, alongside a team of (virtual) trained sex experts and an AI app, all combine to help improve your ejaculatory control.
But how does it work? You blow your load with the help of the high-tech wank tank every couple of days. Over eight weeks, the experts share feedback and guide you through a range of activities that could improve your sexual stamina by up to seven times.
So, ditch those little blue pills and watch the magic happen.
The verdict: 3.9/5
‘You’re essentially signing up to work on your stamina most days for eight weeks, but you will notice a difference at the end. Plus, the device is super discreet, so just leave it at your bedside.’
Oral sex toys
You may have heard of the Rose: the clitoral suction stimulator fascinating females and vulva owners for its speedy orgasm-inducing powers. The teaser is also classed as an oral sex toy, delivering sensations somewhat similar to those felt during traditional cunnilingus.
But what was once exclusively reserved for vulva-owners is now an option for penis-havers too.
Thanks to a heady combination of silicone ridges, textured nubs and pulsating vibrations, oral sex toys are the next best thing to a real-life orifice and will blow you like a pro — especially once dosed with water-based lube.
Warming Vibrating Male Masturbator
Vibrators are no longer just for the girls, and this one will give your partner a break from your regular requests for oral. This masturbator, as well as offering vibrating, shaking motions, warms to a toasty 40°C — a feature that had our testers labelling the sensations as ‘incredibly lifelike.’
Blowmotion’s best-selling solo satisfier consists of a three-inch canal and a single motor fitted with nine moving modes. Even on the weakest setting, we’d argue this is pretty intense, and fans seem to agree, with one leaving this review: 'It’s given me the most powerful and explosive orgasm of all time at 52.' Boy, oh boy.
The verdict: 4.6/5
‘Super easy to control via the four-button interface and fitted with a warming mode, this masturbator ticks a lot of boxes. Just beware if you’re blessed with added width.’
Prostate Massagers and Butt Plugs
For those tempted to explore their back door, prostate massagers are either single probes or U-shaped playthings (like the LELO HUGO 2) designed to hit your hidden G-spot with ease. That’s because prostate ‘milking’ can bring on bigger, bolder climaxes.
Butt plugs or anal beads play a similar role but come up a little shorter, stimulating the many (thousands) of nerve endings up your back passage.
HUGO 2 Remote Prostate Massager
Are you ready to invest in your bedside drawer? For experienced backdoor bandits, this vibrating prostate massager is designed to help you get your fill, thanks to two ergonomically designed arms.
Packed with twin motors and eight vibration modes, this puts the posh in posh wank. Just load it up with lube and hop on top — those perineum pulses will quickly send your member in the right direction.
One fan shared, 'Best orgasms in my 64 years.' Challenge accepted...
The verdict: 3.9/5
‘On arrival, this looks way too big to be sending up your back passage. But with plenty of water-based lube, the bulbous tip on the upper arm quickly makes it way to your prostate, sending you hurtling towards orgasmic ecstasy within seconds.’
The Neighbor Anal Vibrator
FYI, all Smile Makers teasers are named after common sexual fantasies — the Firefighter (a clit stim for her), the French Lover (another clit vibrator for her), the Ballerina (a handle-free magic wand for you both)...
The Neighbor, the brand’s anal vibrator, is everything you’d want to live right next door: it’s dependable, whisper-quiet and good-looking. But don’t be fooled, as it also sends sweet sensations firing up your/her/his back passage. Yep, this one’s unisex, so feel free to share — but only after proper cleaning.
Tailored to backdoor beginners, that extra-wide T-bar base prevents anything from getting lost in the mist while you’re working through the three speeds and two pulsation modes. Just be sure to slick it with the brand's Generous Gel, which is long-lasting and won’t stain your sheets.
The verdict: 3.9/5
‘We love the fact this is a treat for both partners. Plus, the extra wide base extends the vibrations to your perineum too.’
SORAYA Beads Anal Massager
In many ways, anal beads are the unsung heroes of ass sex. Yes, they look like something you might use to tweak your electric bike, but they're suited to both beginners and experienced players as you can slide as many beads in as you'd like.
In fact, LELO’s SORAYA Beads have been designed to deliver vibrations that feel just like genuine penetration — that’s the BowMotion tech for you — no matter how many beads you bring to your butt party.
And as it’s approved for use in the shower and tub, we're not sure you'll have much to moan about. Well, actually...
The verdict: 4.5/5
‘LELO’s beads might look a little intimidating but offer SO. MANY. POSSIBILITIES.’
Luxe Realistic Multicoloured Silicone Dildo 7 Inch
We're all for motorised sex tech to make us climax. But if you're a simple man who enjoys the immersive feel of penetration while you jerk off, this one's for you.
With its lifelike rounded head and curved shaft, this non-intimidating 7-inch silicone dildo is ideal for solo penetration or strap-on and pegging play with a partner.
Better yet, it's fully waterproof and comes with a suction base so you can bum yourself bent over in the shower.
The verdict: 5/5
‘I'm pretty straight but I love penetration. This simple dildo is perfect for bum fun and makes me climax super fast. It's the perfect size, feels smooth on the way in, and has a good-sized base.’
Penis Pumps
Essentially, penis pumps are pint-sized vacuums designed to temporarily increase the size of your manhood using the power of hydraulics.
While, again, these are more a sexual aid than a toy, some find the sucking and pulling sensations to be rather enjoyable.
HYDROXTREME 9 Penis Pump (7 – 9 Inches)
Following that And Just Like That cameo, penis pumps have hit the mainstream. No longer a signifier of insufficiency, the sex aid is a totally acceptable way to boost your appendage — and can even provide pleasure as well as prominent (albeit temporary) growth.
Bathmate’s penis pump harnesses the power of hydraulics to boost the length and girth of your flipper, while the transparent tube gives you a front-row seat to the action, and the metric scale helps you track your progress.
What's more, the brand maintains that with repeated use it may permanently engorge your erections. Simply slip your member inside — along with a generous dose of water-based lube — and watch the vacuum system transform your snail into a whale.
If you need a little more convincing, one fan wrote: ‘I can’t explain the satisfaction. It did a better job than my boyfriend for sure... hopefully he learns but, until then, this thing is my new plus-one.’
For those unsure if they’re ready to invest, Lovehoney does a budget bundle which includes a trio of cock rings to help you extend the results too.
The verdict: 4.4/5
‘This Bathmate set is certainly an investment, but we like the constant pressure provided by a water-powered pump, as opposed to air. Plus, the included extras make cleaning a doddle.’
Penis Extenders
If you’re self-conscious about the length of your penis (although, as we’ve said before, size is secondary to skill), you can now buy a variety of penis extenders to enhance the look and feel of your member.
Your options range from extension sleeves to traction devices, and while they may not necessarily sit in the sex toy camp, they can also provide pleasure for both the wearer and the eventual receiver.
Crusader Cock Extension Sleeve and Butt Plug
Here’s yet another reminder that most penises aren't as long or as large as you think. For British blokes, the average is just 5.17 inches when erect, and 3.82 inches when, well, not. But if you think a few extra inches would boost your confidence, you may want to consider a penis extender.
Thanks to those chunky veins along the shaft, Bondara’s Crusader looks and feels just like a real cock, while the butt plug promises to probe your prostate into submission. Double win.
Simply slip it onto your dong, pop the rounded ball into your anus and the entire thing holds firmly in place while you set about pummelling your partner.
The verdict: 4.0/5
‘If you’ve always wondered how it feels to be hung like King Kong, buy it. Buy it now.’
Couples' Sex Toys
Sex toys are a great addition to your partnered play, working to amplify sensations or provide totally new ones. Plus, they may also boost your chances of a shared orgasm.
Your options include vibrators, suction stimulators, C-shaped vibes that sit inside the vagina and remote-controlled options that allow you to experiment with Power Play.
Jive 2 App Controlled Love Egg Vibrator
C-shaped vibes were initially created with heterosexual couples in mind, as they’re designed to sit inside the vagina before sending sweet sensations to her G-spot and up your shaft simultaneously.
However, we encourage same-sex matches to get creative, too. Thanks to the addition of a wireless remote, and the option to control it hands-free via the We-Vibe app, anything goes. So, take turns calling the shots, or cycling through the 10 pulsing patterns.
Being the second iteration of the brand’s best-selling couples’ sex toy, the Jive 2 comes with some major upgrades — including a four-hour run-time, which is more than double what its older sibling could manage.
The verdict: 3.8/5
‘As with any C-shaped vibe, the Jive 2 might be a little much for beginners — both in size and power — but it’ll certainly amp up your next round of missionary. We were only left wanting when it came to colour options.’
Love Motion Warming Thrusting Sex Machine
The world of sex machines is a broad beast, with your options extending from prostate massagers to dildo chairs (yeah, they’re a thing). But if you are missing the perks of partnered play or fancy watching on as your robotic third wheel does its thing, this is where to spend your money on payday.
Included in every box — along with your automated thruster — are two dildos; one slightly more realistic option offering seven insertable inches, and a purple prong measuring up at seven and a half. Even better news: both warm to 40°C for extra authenticity.
Our tester gave it the thumbs up: ‘I recently split with my partner and was not in a hurry to find another, so found BOB: my new battery-operated boyfriend. This gives me a better orgasm than my ex and is always willing to please me.’
The verdict: 4.3/5
‘Sitting at the smaller end of the spectrum, this Lovehoney machine is primed for taking on your next staycation — or relocating to the bathroom/hotel balcony, because we all like options.’
Ultimate Wand Massager Vibrator
The magic wand may be marketed as an intense clitoral stimulator, but we’re calling this the unisex sex-essory every person needs. That's because those intense thrumming sensations feel, frankly, delicious when directed at your shaft, balls and perineum. But (and we’re talking from experience here) you will also be able to feel them deep inside your shaft when your partner uses the wand to stimulate her clit during penetrative sex.
If that's not enough to convince you, this bestseller from British brand Ricky also doubles up as a massage gun, saving you money on sports massages and space in your bedside drawers. You can thank us later.
And if you’re worried about that single, rose colourway, don’t be. It wouldn’t bother Ken...
The verdict: 4.1/5
‘The fact this magic wand is multi-functional is a major selling point, meaning you only need to clear space in my bedside drawer for one device. Plus, it works ‘wonders’ as a G-spot probe, according to my girlfriend.’
The Benefits of Experimenting With Sex Toys for Men
Everyone can agree that masturbation is great. But when you bring a male sex toy into the mix magical things can happen, so X-rated accessories should not be sniffed at.
'The benefits of masturbation are well-documented, including stress reduction, reduced risk of prostate cancer and help with concentration,' says Adam Lewis, co-founder and sex toy innovator at Hot Octopuss.
'Male sex toys add another dimension to this with benefits such as help with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and prostate stimulation.'
But perhaps most importantly of all, well-chosen sex toys can also have a dramatic impact on your sexual enjoyment. 'It’s important to note the pleasure benefits gained by using a sex toy,' adds Lewis.
'Customers have told us that using a toy prompted conversations about masturbation and sex that would never have happened otherwise. And the right sex toy can give you bigger, better orgasms!' Sign us up.
