Your Guide to Beginner Sex Toys for Gay Men
Looking for the best beginner-friendly gay sex toys? If you’re new to all of this, today’s guide written for our blog by Mayla Green founder of TheAdultToyShop.com covers everything from anal dildos to prostate massagers to masturbators, giving you an overview of the top choices to enhance your pleasure.
Beginners should start with smaller, user-friendly options to build confidence and comfort. The right toy can not only enhance pleasure but also deepen intimacy in relationships when enjoyed with your partner, so these are good for couples play, not just solo play!
Here are some must-have sex toys every gay man should consider for their collection. These toys are perfect for both beginners and experienced users looking to maximize pleasure and experience powerful orgasms:
1. Anal Dildos
Anal dildos are a staple for many gay men, offering a wide range of sizes and materials to cater to different preferences. These dildos are usually realistic and shaped like a penis to mimic the sensations of gay sex.
Common materials include silicone, TPE, rubber, glass, and stainless steel, each providing unique sensations and ensuring safety during use. Silicone is particularly popular due to its comfort and ease of cleaning while rubber & TPE materials tend to feel the most realistic.
New users might start with smaller sizes to build comfort, while experienced users can explore larger sizes for deeper sensations. Anal dildos make a fantastic addition to any toy collection, regardless of experience level and are the go-to choice of gay dudes everywhere.
2. Vibrators
Vibrators are another essential for exploring new levels of pleasure. These versatile toys come with multiple settings and patterns, allowing you to customize your experience to find the most pleasurable sensations in a new window. Vibrators are especially effective for P-spot stimulation, leading to intense, full-body orgasms.
A secret “Sexpert” tip is to browse women’s G-spot vibrators because, as you may well know, the P-spot is the male equivalent of the G-spot and these vibrators can be used interchangeably.
Most guys use vibrator with their partner because it’s a great way to experience multiple orgasms in one night. They’re super popular foreplay toys for pretty much everyone, hetero couples included. Whether you’re using them solo or with a partner, vibrators can enhance your sexual experiences and bring you to new heights of pleasure.
3. Butt Plugs
Butt plugs serve both for pleasure and anal training, making them versatile additions to any sex toy collection. They cater to different comfort levels and help users gradually increase their tolerance for anal play.
Butt plugs are essential for men who have not yet had anal sex – they literally train the anus to accept bigger girths gradually over time to assure a comfortable first time experience. Pick a small one first, then gradually increase sizes until you are accustomed to anal penetration with something as big as your partners penis.
Butt plugs can significantly enhance sexual experiences by providing unique sensations and helping you explore your body in new ways. How exactly? You can wear it all day long for constant rectal pressure which feels tingly and erotic all day long – but unbeknownst to the public around you!
From beginners to advanced users, there’s a butt plug for everyone. Various sizes and designs ensure that you can find the perfect fit for your needs, whether you’re looking for gentle stimulation or more intense sensations. Incorporating butt plugs into your play can lead to more fulfilling and enjoyable experiences.
4. Prostate Massagers
Prostate massagers feature a curved tip that targets the prostate gland, located a few inches inside the anus. Beyond pleasure, prostate massagers are also linked to improved prostate health, making them a valuable addition to your collection.
Stimulating the prostate with a massager can lead to powerful, full-body orgasms, often described as more expansive than typical ejaculations.
Vibrating massagers feature curved designs that make it easier to target the prostate, delivering deeply pleasurable vibrations. You can also engage in prostate milking with your lover, a popular way to enhance foreplay, but this “rocking” milking motion can be enjoyed solo as well, and you can use any prostate toy to do it. (Basically, anything with a curved tip.)
Incorporating prostate massagers into your routine enhances sexual pleasure and offers significant health benefits. Whether you’re using them solo or with a partner, these toys can help you enjoy transformative intimate experiences.
Cock Rings
Cock rings enhance sexual activities by increasing sensitivity and intensifying pleasure for both partners. By constricting blood flow, cock rings can lead to firmer erections and may prolong the duration of orgasms, so it;s a popular choice for men with ED.
Even if your penis can get rock hard as-is, wearing a cock ring provides hands-free stimulation during sex. Many men also wear a ring during masturbation as the pressure boost pleasure and makes your ejaculations feel much more powerful.
Cock rings are a great addition for enhancing sexual experiences. When used correctly, cock rings can significantly boost sexual satisfaction, making them a must-have in any sex toy collection. They offer a simple yet effective (and cheaply priced) way to elevate pleasure and explore new sensations.
Strokers
Strokers offer unique sensations that can elevate your solo play to new heights. These are basically a masturbation sleeve with ribbed or suction that you use to jerk off with. Even though your hand works just fine, the extra padding of a male stroker is a great way to make masturbation feel so much better.
Use it with your partner too, get this to use it on you and vice versa. The best advantage of strokers is there are a plethora that do not look like a fake vagina, most are gender neutral and well suited to gay men. Some even vibrate, rotate or have thrusting action to mimic a blowjob or deepthroat oral.
Importance of Lubrication
Lubrication enhances comfort and pleasure during play. The right lubricant reduces discomfort and makes the experience more enjoyable. It’s an important aspect to consider when using any sex toy, ensuring a smooth and pleasurable experience.
You can use hybrid or water-based lube, just stay away from Vaseline because oil based products will degrade any sex toy material.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance prevent bacteria buildup and ensure safety during use. Most toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, but it’s important to ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing. Antibacterial cleaners (or hand soap) is a good option to be sure that fecal bacteria is not only flushed off but sanitized after every use.
The best way to store sex toys is to put them back in the original package it came in. The other option is to store each one wrapped in a lint-free towel but make sure they don’t touch each other while stashed in your bedside drawer.
