Types of Male Strokers & How to Choose One

Male strokers are much more common than you may think. Trust me, I'm working everyday behind the scenes at the sex toy shop and I see these sex toys for men fly off the shelves. There are many types of male strokers, so how do you choose the best one for you?

Guys have different sexual pleasure preferences so today we'll discuss more about the types of men's sex toys from automatic strokers, realistic strokers, vibrating sex toys for the penis, the cheap yet effective Tenga egg and auto hands free stokers for your ultimate satisfaction.

How do you make male masturbation better? You can start with an amazing lube. Maybe get something that’s a bit warm. Then, set the scene! Dim the lights, and put on some great porn. Yes, even guys deserve to treat themselves to something more than a quick jerk.

Still, there’s one thing missing. What can enhance the ‘mechanics’ of male masturbation, and give you a mindblowing orgasm? It’s time to give a male stroker sex toy a try!

What is a Male Stroker?

A male stroker is a sex toy that includes some sort of sleeve or pocket for inserting your penis. This creates a more pleasurable, often more realistic sensation. Flesh lights, pocket pussies, and strokers are just a few names for these masturbator toys. Some are operated manually. Others have vibrating or thrusting features.

Types of Stroker Toys

You can place most male masturbators into four categories. Here’s a bit more information about each of these.

Masturbation Sleeves

This category covers a wide range of maturbators for men. Most of these are cylinders that men insert themselves into in order to masturbate. The insides of these may be made of textured material for more intense pleasure. This category includes flesh light style masturbators, They can be a simple sleeve that fits over the penis as well. Some of them may vibrate or pulsate as well!

Here's a few of the most effective masturbation sleeves for men for the best pleasure:

  • Head Honcho Blowjob Toy is the original masturbation sleeve for men from decades ago and still impressively popular to this day. Sure most male sex toys look like a pussy, but here is a blowjob sex toy that feels so you won't miss a thing when the lights are out.
  • Tenga Spinner Pixel Masturbator is one of our favorite Tenga strokers for men. It is essentially a silky soft, extra stretchy penis stroker sleeve with firm spiraled cords implanted within the tunnel. Lots of texture, lots of stimulation over the entire shaft of your cock.
  • Ultimate Male Stroker Beads is the best cheap male masturbator. It's actually quite the unique invention too, it's simply a series of plastic beads connected by stretchy elastic threads that roll up & down your cock while you masturbate.

Pocket Pussies

A pocket pussy is designed to look and feel like a vagina. Many of these are simple cylinders with labia at the openings. There are other pocket pussies that are designed to look like a lady’s entire pelvic region. There are pocket pussy masturbators that are designed to simulate anal sex as well.

  • Brown Sugar Pocket Pussy - Ever had a girl play with herself while you were inside her? The opening of this pocket pussy is designed to replicate that look.

Best Way to Use a Male Stroker Toy

Hopefully, you’ve found the perfect masturbation aid. Now for a few tips to help you enjoy the best possible experiences solo or with a partner. Here we go!

Relax And Take Your Time

One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll experience sensations that may be more intense than  you’re used to. If you aren’t careful, your perfect masturbation session could be done before you know it. That’s no fun!

So, carve out some time. Find a place with privacy, where you can stretch out and relax. Now, start slowly. Enjoy what you’re feeling. Slow down if you get too close.

Lube is Important

Not all masturbators require lube. But, you’ll be much happier if you use one each time. It brings that realistic feel. Don’t use too much! You won’t enjoy better sex, just  messier.

Switch Things Up

Learn to vary your technique to take things over the top. Try varying your speed, and the strength of your group. Spend some time making small circular motions just around the head. Instead of stroking with your hands, thrust with your hips.

If your masturbator has vibration, change things here as well. Leave the buzz off until you are close to climax. Then, hit it full blast.

Keep it Clean

When you’re done with your toy, clean it according to package instructions. Dry it with a towel. Put it away carefully. It will be in perfect order to enjoy next time.
