Sex Toys

Gay sex deserves accessories designed for it

The penis, testicles and urethra are central to male pleasure, so it makes sense to give them accessories designed specifically for those areas rather than generic toys. Every item featured here acts directly on this zone, with a clear purpose: to make an erection harder, stretch the scrotum, extend stimulation or push a limit. Follow the guide — your cock is going to appreciate it.

Cock rings and cock & ball toys: more strength, more stamina

Nothing replaces a well-chosen cock ring when the goal is to keep an erection harder for longer. Placed at the base of the erect penis, it helps retain blood in the erectile tissue and prolongs that moment when the cock is at its firmest. Soft silicone rings adapt to most body shapes without much calculation; rigid models in metal, wood or studded leather, more striking visually, require more precise sizing before purchase.

To find the right size, measure the circumference of the erect penis with a flexible tape measure, then divide that number by 3.14: the result gives you the diameter you need. Cock & ball toys go further by also enclosing the testicles, adding a pulling sensation to the support effect.

A ring works best over a short period: twenty to thirty minutes is more than enough. Beyond that, blood flow can become restricted and the penis may suffer. Pain, numbness or a ring that will not come off are the only warning signs that should make you seek medical help immediately.

Ball stretchers: stretching and sensitising the testicles

A ball stretcher targets an area that cock rings do not work in the same way: the base of the scrotum. By pulling the testicles downward, it stretches the skin and increases sensitivity to the slightest touch. Magnetic models avoid the sometimes awkward step of passing the testicles through a closed ring; steel versions or weighted models focus instead on continuous tension, which becomes more intense as the weight increases.

Diameter, height and weight are the three settings that make all the difference between a pleasurable stretcher and one that gets in the way more than it excites. It is better to start light and increase the load over several sessions than to end up with an exhausted scrotum from the first use.

Fuck machines and slings: letting the machine take over

Fuck machines take over from hands and body movement, delivering a thrusting rhythm whose speed and depth you adjust according to your desires, with interchangeable attachments to vary the sensations. A sling, whether suspended or mounted on a stand, is the perfect companion for this kind of toy: it positions the body at the ideal height without any muscular effort, leaving the hands free to focus entirely on pleasure. A protective sheet placed underneath absorbs lubricant and fluids, making cleanup much easier once the session is over.

Masturbators and strokers: hands-free stimulation

Masturbators and strokers offer an alternative to the hand for stimulating the penis, with sensations the hand never quite reproduces: suction, textured interiors, rotation or automated movement depending on the model. An open sleeve remains fully hand-controlled, including pressure and rhythm. A motorised stroker handles the movement for you, leaving all the focus on sensation. The material in contact with the glans often makes the difference between a toy you keep reaching for and one that quickly gets forgotten.

Chastity cages: locking pleasure away for longer

A chastity cage works on a completely different rhythm: it prevents a full erection until the key is turned, extending anticipation far beyond a single session. A base ring surrounds the flaccid penis, a cage encloses it, and the whole piece locks in place to remove control from the wearer. The cage length and base ring diameter must match the body precisely when measured at rest; otherwise, the cage will either become uncomfortable or fail to hold properly. Steel brings weight and coldness, while resin or silicone makes the device lighter for wear over several days.

Sounding and urethral dilation: pushing sensation further

Sounding and urethral dilation explore an area few toys can reach: the inside of the urethra itself, stimulated with a sound or metal dilator. This is not a practice to rush into. The urethral canal is narrow and delicate, and using the wrong technique, moving too fast or preparing poorly can lead to irritation, bleeding or infection that may require medical attention. Strict hygiene before every use, generous amounts of sterile water-based lubricant and very slow progression starting with the thinnest diameter are the three habits that make the difference between a successful discovery and a trip to the emergency room.

E-Stim: electrostimulation applied to the genitals

E-stim offers another kind of intensity by sending gentle electrical pulses through the penis, testicles or perineum via conductive electrodes. The sensation is unlike anything else and should be discovered at low intensity before gradually increasing the level. Electrodes should never be placed on either side of the chest or near the heart, and this practice should be avoided by anyone with a pacemaker.

Frequently asked questions about male sex toys

How long can you wear a cock ring?

Twenty to thirty minutes maximum. After that, reduced blood circulation in the penis for too long can lead to pain, numbness or even tissue damage if the ring is used for too long or repeatedly without being removed between sessions.

How do you calculate the right cock ring size?

Measure the circumference of the erect penis with a flexible tape measure, then divide that number by 3.14 to get the approximate diameter you need. For a rigid metal model, it is usually better to round slightly down rather than choose a ring that is too wide and quickly loses its support effect.

What should you do if a cock ring gets stuck?

It is rare, but it can happen, especially with rigid, non-stretch models. If the ring will not come off despite plenty of lubricant, and numbness or discolouration appears, seek emergency medical help: it is the only safe way to remove it without risking injury to the penis.

Is sounding dangerous?

It can be if hygiene, sterile lubrication and slow progression are not respected. Documented complications range from simple irritation to urinary tract infection, and even more serious injuries if a sound is forced or poorly sized.

How do you clean a masturbator or stroker?

Rinsing it with warm water immediately after use, then allowing it to dry completely before storage, helps limit residue buildup and extends the life of the product. A cleaner designed specifically for intimate accessories is gentler on certain materials, such as TPR or UltraSkyn, than standard soap.

Can you wear a ball stretcher every day?

Daily wear may be possible with a lightweight, well-fitted model, provided regular breaks are taken to check the condition of the skin. Added weight should always be increased gradually, never by jumping straight to a heavy load without intermediate steps.
