There is a huge range of sex toys for men to use whether with a partner or alone, what type and style depends purely on what the intended use is.

Realistic Vagina’s
These can get as realistic as you want but what you pay for is what you get. The more expensive toys being the more realistic and detailed. There is a huge range of materials from simple latex to the Cyberskin, which actually feels like real skin and retains the warmth and texture even while being used. The main thing to remember here is that unlike the natural thing, lubrication must always be used, otherwise you may have a painful and difficult experience.

Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are designed to fit over the penis and create a vacuum using gentle suction, helping a man to obtain an erection or give extra stimulation. They are made form a hard plastic or acrylic tubing with a plunger or squeezing bulb, which when working sucks the air out creating a vacuum. Extra blood is pulled into the erectile tissue which enhances and engorges the tissue giving a bigger erection than normal. Some models have a soft textured lining offering extra stimulation and sensation. The changes however are temporary and pumps do not offer permanent enlargement, however they are a useful aid for those with erectile dysfunction. Shaving at the base of the penis or applying lubrication at the base will help to create suction and to enable you to let go of the cylinder once it is pumped.

Many men find the intense stimulation when using the pump enjoyable and find it a useful aid to masturbation, the suction giving a pseudo oral sex feeling. Others enjoy the more intense suction and enjoy the way their penis responds and stretches within the plastic shaft. Many people include the penis pumps into their BDSM play, with various models offering different levels of stimulation and suction, making them brilliant for the first time user or for further investigations into sensation play. With any toy, care must be taken as leaving the pump on for too long or over use can lead to broken capillaries and bruising and even ligament strain at the base of the penis. When using a pump for the first time the rule of thumb is to go slowly and to stop if it hurts. Use your body as a guide, taking it as slowly or as fast as you feel is right, you also need to make sure you are familiarised with the pump before using it.

Cock Rings
Cock rings are designed to reduce the blood flow back into the body allowing the penis to become engorged with blood, giving a bigger firmer erection, greater sensitivity and ejaculation delay.

There are many different variations of rings ranging from the adjustable (which makes it easier to place on the penis and remove) to more rigid un-adjustable rings to rings that vibrate. It is advisable if you are using them for the first time to try an adjustable model, which allows you to experiment and find what works best for you.

Erections during intercourse naturally rise and fall, allowing for blood flow and toxins to be removed, therefore it is advisable to use them for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time, as extended use can lead to damage of the capillaries and to bruising. If you are using one for the first time it is a good rule of thumb to slowly extend the time gradually, increasing the time in 5 to 10 minute intervals. Once you are comfortable using them you can further explore the different varieties. Cock rings aren't recommended for anyone with vascular disease, such as diabetes, or nerve disease. If you experience any discomfort, numbness, or tingling, remove the ring and seek medical advice.

Sleeves
Sleeves are designed to place over the penis giving extra sensation, length and girth. With a huge range of materials and sizes there is an option for everyone and if you suffer from erectile dysfunction a model with a strap or harness would be advisable. Some sleeves when used with lubrication can enhance masturbation making them the perfect toy for use alone. Some come with added “ticklers” allowing for extra delight for your partner, from small bumps to hard ridges. The basic sleeve is a tube that slides over the penis and stretches to fit any girth. There are however models that are better tailored to the larger penis. Good lubrication is a must and will stop any unwanted friction or pain, while allowing for full sensation.
