Have you seen sex toys lately? They’re looking pretty sick, whether you’re into aesthetic glass dildos that belong in MoMA’s Sculpture Garden or a fuckable silicone foot. But in the midst of this rising tide of horny tools, the evolution of male sex toys still tends to feel… mysterious? Less mainstream?
Female sex toys have had a glossy, celebrity-backed glow-up (hello, Dakota Johnson selling vibrators that look like they belong next to linen sheets), while male sex toys have quietly leveled up without the same cultural confidence. The products are genuinely good now—everything from simple sleeves to sleek, headphone-adjacent tech—but the vibe is still weirdly shy, as if comparing strokers is more taboo than comparing monitors.

A quick Instagram poll made that tension clear: opinions were split between fans and skeptics, with a noticeable chunk of guys curious but overwhelmed, unsure where to even start. That confusion isn’t a bad sign—it just means there are more options than ever. And honestly, we’ll take “spoiled for choice” over shame and a sad beaded-curtain selection any day. So, in the spirit of sex-positive evolution and practical pleasure, here’s a spotlight on the male sex toys actually worth your time, whether you’re spending $25 or going full Daddy Warbucks.

Best for Leveling Up Your Solo Game: LELO F1S V3
Look, most of us are pretty plugged in. We’ve been getting off to things on our screens forever, so it was only a matter of time before someone tried to turn “device guy” energy into an actual sex toy.
No, I’m not talking about cramming that in there. I’m talking about the LELO F1S V3, which is basically a next-gen stroker for people who want their pleasure to feel engineered. The big difference with the V3 is that it’s not trying to mimic oral or penetration; it’s built around SenSonic technology, which uses sonic pulses to resonate around the penis, plus these auto-adjusting liquid silicone ribs that are meant to make the whole thing feel more immersive without you having to do a ton of manual work.
It’s also app-connected, and the app is where you unlock more of what you paid for, including extra settings and an AI interactive mode that responds to your movement in real time. In non-LELO language: it reacts as you move it, instead of you just cycling through a preset and hoping you picked the right one.
VICE’s own Barney Flake tested and reviewed the F1S, an earlier model, and the general takeaway still holds: if you want increased stimulation or simply can’t go as aggressively as you’d like with your hand alone, the F1S line is a legit upgrade. The V3 just leans harder into the whole “hands-free-ish, techy, responsive” experience, for better or worse, depending on how much you want your orgasm to feel like it came with firmware.
Best For size queens (and kings): Lovehoney Mega Mighty 2 Extra Inches Girthy Penis Extender with Ball Loop
If you or your partner fantasizes about going bigger and pumps aren’t your thing, an extender is a pretty straightforward solution. This one is built to add length and girth while keeping things wearable and relatively simple.
Depending on your natural size, Lovehoney says the Mega Mighty can add up to 2 inches of additional length to your shaft, with a realistic head and texture and an impressive 6.5 inches of girth. It can also help some people stay harder longer, though bodies vary and there’s no universal guarantee.
With its veiny, textured shaft and chonky head, the Mega Mighty was definitely designed with the receiver in mind—but that doesn’t mean the wearer doesn’t get to have any fun. Simply add some lube to the inside of the extender, and you get a pleasing two-way experience for all parties involved.
We also like the clear, soft material if you’re not into the whole “mystery pink” color thing. But if you are into that, it comes in that too, plus a range of sizes, so you’re not forced into one shape or fantasy.
Most Likely to Ruin Other Toys for You: Gluck Gluck 3000
If the name isn’t enough to tell you what the Gluck Gluck 3000 is going for, allow me to clarify. This is a blowjob machine, and it is not shy about it.
It’s gone semi-viral in part because the name is… a lot, and because the reviews are even more a lot. One reviewer writes, “This thing will drain your family jewels so much that by day 3, only dust comes out when you reach climax! I haven’t left the house in 3 weeks because of this machine.”
Mechanically, it’s designed to do one thing. It’s not a classic stroker. It’s built to simulate oral with a rotating chamber and a lot of internal movement, plus vibration. It also brags about having “over 100 soft, tickling fingers” inside. Fellas, your partner is not arriving with 100 silicone fingers. That’s just math.

Best Cheap Thrill That Still Delivers: Fleshlight Quickshot
In this economy, a $2,000 lifelike sex doll isn’t always in the cards (you’ll just have to wait for that tax return). But just because you’re not dropping rent money on a toy doesn’t mean your hand has to be the whole plan.
Enter the Fleshlight Quickshot: portable, easy to stash, and one of the more approachable upgrades if you want something better than nothing without committing to a giant sleeve you have to baby. It’s soft, it’s discreet-looking, and it’s built for people who want something simple.
It also has dual entry, which makes it easier to clean and opens up some options if you and your partner both have penises. Fleshlight sells its own cleaning solution and renewal powder, but plenty of people keep it basic with rubbing alcohol and cornstarch. Clean your toys after every use. It’s not hard. Only laziness can ruin your life here.
There are also Fleshlight Girls Quickshots modeled after porn stars. One end has their lips and the other their vaginas, both molded on their own, um, features. If that’s your thing, it’s variety, and with names like Autumn Falls and Stoya, you can spice up your stroker collection with a less generic sleeve.
Best Gateway (and Endgame) Toy: Tenga Spinner
It’s a common misconception that you have to ball out to bring home a great sex toy. The Tenga Spinner is a longtime best-selling penis stroker on Amazon and has earned its laurels from its 6,000 reviewers. It has a modern, visually appealing design and is far better than your hand, but not so involved that you’ll need to give it its own room.
The Spinner has an internal coil that creates a textured spinning effect in use, which one Amazon reviewer said is utterly unique. As he writes, “There is something about the feel of this toy that drives my body wild.” It’s not exactly realistic, but not every sex toy has to mimic intercourse to be worth using.
Tenga is one of the big names in male sex toys for a reason: consistent quality, widely available, and priced low enough that it doesn’t feel like a high-stakes gamble.
Luxury Prostate Toy That Actually Earns the Hype: Hugo Massaging Butt Plug
If you’re going to splurge on a prostate toy, LELO is usually the safest place to do it, because their stuff feels intentionally made instead of flimsy, buzzy, or like it’s going to die the second it sees a little lube. The Hugo is their prostate massager, and it’s popular for a reason: smooth, manageable shape, plus dual motors that give you that deeper, rumblier vibration people actually want from a P-spot toy.
The Amazon reviews are predictably horny and dramatic, which is how you know it’s doing something. One reviewer writes, “[It’s] simply amazing if you want to be like Spider-Man, and shoot webs across the room.”
It also comes with a remote, which is genuinely useful because switching settings shouldn’t require you to contort like you’re trying to retrieve a contact lens from under the bed. It’s pricey, but it’s the kind of pricey that at least feels like you’re paying for power and design, not just branding.
Best Overall Male Masturbator: Fleshlight Flight Aviator
Fleshlight is basically the Toyota Camry of male toys: not because it’s boring, but because it’s the option people land on when they want something that works and won’t betray them. The Flight Aviator is the slightly hotter, more futuristic version of the classic sleeve, like Fleshlight decided to make something that looks less “adult store embarrassment” and more “lost piece of a spaceship.”
Inside, it’s still doing what Fleshlights do best: textured stimulation with that suction/vacuum feeling you can dial in. Reviewers are obsessed with that part. One Amazon reviewer wrote, “I really like it more than the original Fleshlight. It has a lot more vacuum/suction control.” Translation: if you like a toy that grips back instead of just sitting there politely, this one’s a strong bet.
Most Aggressive Suction on the Internet: EINSEO Male Masturbator
It’s no small feat to hit Amazon No. 1 bestseller status in the male toy category, but this powerful peen machine from EINSEO is popular for one specific reason: suction power.
As one reviewer writes, “It will suck a tennis ball through a garden hose,” and yes, that is the exact kind of sentence you only see in sex toy reviews. It has multiple vibration and suction modes, plus a “Climax Mode” that cranks things up when you’re ready to tap out in the best way.
People rave about the sleeve feel, the suction strength, and the fact that it comes apart for cleaning. Again: clean your toys. Things get grim fast if you don’t. It also has app control modes and charges via USB-C, which is honestly just nice because no one wants yet another weird proprietary cable in their drawer.
The only downside with toys like this is that they’re not always quiet. The EINSEO is marketed as reasonably low-noise, but if you live with roommates and your walls are thin, plan accordingly.
Sleekest, Least Intimidating Penis Pump: JASLAK Vibrating Penis Pump
Penis pumps are technically a “prep” toy, but let’s be real: plenty of people use them because they feel good, full stop. They’re great for edging, they’re great for warming things up, and they’re great if you like the whole build-and-tease part of sex more than the sprint-to-the-finish part.
The Jaslak is one of those Amazon bestsellers that looks suspiciously sleek for something that’s literally designed to suck your dick. It has multiple suction modes, a little digital screen so you can see what level you’re on, and a detachable bullet vibe with a bunch of intensity settings—because apparently we’ve reached the era where even pumps come with accessories.
Reviewers tend to like it for the same reason people like any gadget that claims to be “smart”: it gives you options. You can keep it gentle and steady, crank it up, use it for stamina practice, or just use it because the sensation is its own reward. The only real rule is: don’t get cocky. Go slow, listen to your body, and don’t treat it like you’re trying to jump-start a car.
It’s USB-C rechargeable and waterproof, which means you can rinse it easily and, if you’re a shower person, take the whole situation in there without making it a bigger ordeal than it needs to be.
Best Cock Ring for Extra Stimulation Everywhere: Bed Ringer
A vibrating cock ring is one of those toys that earns its keep fast, because it doesn’t require a whole setup or a personality change. You put it on, it does its thing, and suddenly the experience is louder for everyone involved. It can help with staying power, it can add extra stimulation during sex, and the vibrating part can pull double duty as a quick-and-easy clit vibe without anyone having to stop what they’re doing.
Lovehoney’s Bed Ringer is a staff pick and a bestseller for a reason: it’s stretchy, it’s not intimidating, and the little textured clitoral arm is there to actually be useful, not just decorative. Reviewers seem to agree. One person wrote that it fit perfectly on their partner and their dildo, and that it made both situations way better, which is honestly a strong endorsement for something this simple.
It stretches to fit a range of sizes, it’s rechargeable so you’re not hunting down batteries like a raccoon, and it’s controlled with one button, meaning you’re not accidentally opening a submenu when you’re trying to get off. Just stick with water-based lube so you don’t mess up the silicone, and you’re good.
Best “I Didn’t Know I’d Be Into This” Plug: Vibrating Butt Plug
We repeat: backdoor stimulation can feel amazing for men, and there are plenty of anal/prostate toys that sit right on the line between beginner-friendly and still very effective.
Consider the Butt Tingler, one of Lovehoney’s popular picks. The name sounds like a villain, but the toy itself is pretty approachable: slender, slightly tapered for easier insertion, and designed with a base that also hits the perineum while you’re at it.
In other words, it’s doing a lot for a little plug. One reviewer even points out that the button placement is clutch for switching speeds when their partner is on top, which is the kind of detail you only appreciate when you’re mid-moment and not trying to fumble around like you’re defusing a bomb.
Also: don’t make this harder than it needs to be. Use water-based lube (silicone toys and oil don’t mix unless you enjoy ruining your own things), go slow, and you’ll be fine.
It runs on a single AAA battery (not included), which is mildly annoying, but it also means you’re not staring at a blinking charger when you’re trying to get to the point.
How we evaluated THE BEST SEX TOYS FOR MEN
The first question to ask yourself when looking for a male sex toy is, to paraphrase a certain International Man of Mystery: Does it make you horny, baby? Trust your instincts. What feels hot is personal, and no one is getting graded here.
For this guide, I picked a broad range of toy types so you can see what’s out there, and I leaned on top-rated, heavily reviewed options to filter out the stuff that looks promising but ends up feeling like nothing. With so many different bodies and preferences, one person’s opinion is never the whole story.
Please follow basic safety protocols and use toys as designed to avoid injury or other less-than-ideal situations. Trust me, your family does not want that phone call. We also paid attention to quality issues in reviews, including breakage and defects, because if you’re going to spend money on any of this, you should at least get what you paid for.
