Let's Talk Strokers

Strokers, or masturbators are male sex toys that stimulate the penis with different textures and sometimes vibration. But are they for you? After all, you have your hand right? If you already know all about strokers, you can get straight to the toys with the links just below, or scroll further down to learn more. 

Are strokers better than your hand?

We think of strokers as being different to your hand. Whether they're better is really going to be down to personal preference, what you're in the mood for, and how much prep and cleanup you're up for. All strokers offer soft, textured interiors that give you a variety of new sensations to enjoy and that's something we love. Some, like our Wild Secrets Instinct, come with a suction cup so you can mount it to the wall for hands free fun!

What do strokers feel like?

In short? Soft, squishy and hugely arousing! The insertable part of strokers tend to come in either TPE/TPR or Silicone. TPE and TPR are the soft, squishy, 'real-feel' materials, and silicone is a soft but firm material with less stretch. Most people with penises find real-feel materials more stimulating, but silicone is non-porous, so it won't harbour bacteria, and typically last longer than the real-feel materials. If you're sharing your toys with casual partners, we recommend silicone. TPE/TPR toys are safest when kept to yourself or within a monogamous relationship. And please make sure you use plenty of lube and clean your strokers between use with anti-bacterial toy spray.

What about vibration?

Powered strokers, AKA masturbators offer thrusting, vibration or automatic stroking - or sometimes all three! Men like powered strokers because it means they don't have to do all the work, and the vibrations offer sensations your hand can't replicate. It's a bit like when your partner humms around your penis during oral sex - only their jaw never has to get tired! Some masturbators even offer you an AI powered blowjob! The downside is you have to charge them before use, so if your solo times are completely spontaneous, you may want a battery powered option like the Apollo Hydro Power.

What's the best stroker?

That really depends on what you want. Fleshlight are a leader when it comes to strokers, and their Launch mounts give you the ability to turn a non-vibrating stroker into a powered option. The Arcwave Pow is a best-seller and has a great internal texture while being super quiet, while at the more feature packed, sex tech end, there's the PDX Ultimate Milker which features moaning and thrusting, or the Moto-Bator 2 which has an intense suction that a lot of guys love.

Ultimately, strokers are about variety and sensation - and what you want to slide into in the moment.
