Ask anyone which gender has the best sex toys and they’re likely to say “women. Of course.” The fact is that when we think about adult toys or sex toys, we immediately think of vibrators and dildos designed primarily for women. When most of us try to think about a sex toy designed specifically for men we usually conjure up images of dodgy looking blow-up dolls. But oh, the times have changed!
The Evolution of Male Sex Toys
The male sex toy market evolved a little in the early years but, let’s face it, men have never demanded much in terms of sex toy accessories. Instead, their interest was focused more of adult entertainment in general since men are generally more visual based when it comes to getting turned on.
Still, there’s always been a market for masturbation aids and sex toys that men can enjoy and, for a long time, there was a small but interesting selection. Blow up dolls, of course, are the most common form of male sex toy most of us are familiar with. But often we think of these as sketchy in appearance and not especially fun to actually use. Early sex dolls were, in fact, notorious for feeling strange, being hard to clean and, quite frankly, not being especially appealing in the looks department.
The Doll That Changed Everything
Then RealDoll came along. The RealDoll is, just like it sounds, a sex doll that actually looks like a real person. RealDolls were first introduced in the late 1990s and became popular and internationally known by the early 2000s. The dolls are life-size mannequins are incredibly realistic and dramatically changed the landscape of male sex toys. Not only did men now have something that actually looked appealing and was made to be high-quality, they were also willing to pay more than $5,000 for it.
The sex toy industry took notice.
Since then, sex toys for men have become absolutely prolific. Today, companies know that not only do men want toys for masturbation and to use while having sex, they’re willing to pay top dollar for products that are the best quality. So today, men have more choice than ever.
Three Male Sex Toys You Never Thought You’d See
While some sex toys for men have simply been upgraded, there’s now a whole new generation of toys that will probably surprise most readers.
The AutoBlow 2
What do men want? Blow jobs, of course. So a toy that mimics the sensation of oral sex for men was always bound to be a top seller. The makers of the AutoBlow knew they were onto a good idea with their first toy and the original AutoBlow did sell quite well. But the company upped their game by using feedback – positive and negative – from men who purchased the original toy. They used that feedback to create the AutoBlow 2 which addressed a number of issues including ease of use and cleaning.
Prostate Toys
Stimulating the prostate, located inside a man’s anus, can give a man the most earth shattering orgasm he’s ever experienced. As a rest, there are now dozens of different toys designed specially form men to use to stimulate their prostate. Anal play aimed at heterosexual men is a relatively new area for male sex toys, but it’s one growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. As more and more men become comfortable talking to their partner about what they want, there’s been an increase in anal play. Toys range from small vibrating bullets for men who are new to anal play to plugs and vibrating wands for those more comfortable with the practice.
Ball Bags and Vibrators
Vibrators designed to stimulate a man’s testicles have also become popular. These “ball vibes” fit snugly over a man’s sac and can be controlled by remote by him or his partner. The intensity can be dialled up or taken down a notch in order to prolong sex or simply drive a man wild. This latest development has gained attention since it finally proves that vibrators aren’t just for women – everyone can enjoy them!
