Which Accessories Are Worth Trying During Masturbation?

How can you make masturbation even more pleasurable, exciting, and satisfying? The selection is huge, but how not to get lost in the jungle of erotic toys and find something for yourself? Let’s be honest—every guy sometimes needs to go wild solo or at least test out a new toy in private. Since everyone has different needs, the market offers something for everyone—but how do you find what’s right for you?

Dildo – The Classic That Always Works

Dildo is the undisputed classic that’s always good to have at hand. Whether you’re a fan of intense sensations or prefer subtlety, you’ll really find everything on the market. I always recommend silicone dildos—they’re soft, safe, and very easy to clean (and if you’re wondering: yes, you can sterilize them with boiling water—highly recommended!).

Why a dildo?

• It lets you experiment with different depths and angles of penetration.
• Suction cup versions free up your hands (so you can use a vibrator at the same time or… reach for your phone, if you like).
• It’s very easy to choose the right size for your needs—don’t start with the biggest, seriously, tried and tested, better to begin gently!

If you’re just starting out, pick something slim with a rounded tip. And definitely use lots of lube—you won’t have a good time without it!

Anal Plugs – Discover New Sensations

Anal plugs are a great option if you want to experience a sense of “fullness” and experiment with sensations that are really different from what a penis or dildo provides. First time? Go for a small, smooth plug—preferably made of silicone.

Benefits of using plugs:

• You can wear them for a while during everyday activities (like cleaning or watching a movie—don’t ask, it actually works great!).
• A great way to relax your muscles, especially if you’re planning on anal sex later.
• A perfect addition to classic masturbation—I recommend combining it with a dildo or your hand.

The most fun are the vibrating ones because they let you explore erogenous zones you didn’t even know existed. Seriously, I recommend it!

Penis Rings – The Simple Way to Stronger Sensations

An inconspicuous gadget that can work wonders. Wearing a penis ring (preferably silicone, easier to fit) prolongs your erection and intensifies your orgasm. Vibrating models are a total blast—double stimulation, and the end result? Hard to describe, you have to try it yourself.

Benefits of using rings:

• Your erection is harder, and the orgasm is more powerful—I can confirm!
• Easy to combine with other gadgets, e.g., a perineum vibrator.
• Simple to clean and very discreet.

Don’t wear them too long! 20–30 minutes is enough. Taking off a ring that’s too tight is an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Masturbators – A Whole New Level of Solo Pleasure

And now for the crème de la crème: masturbators—classic, with no electronic frills. These toys take the place of your hand and really do the job. The best? In my opinion, the HannX sleeve or Tenga Deep Throat Cup—they might look simple, but provide an intense suction and tightness sensation.

Why try a masturbator?

• The inside is textured and soft, so each session feels different.
• You can easily control the intensity—squeeze harder or softer, change the pace.
• Lube is a must—without it, it’s just so-so (preferably water-based, so you don’t damage your silicone toys).

Tenga Deep Throat Cup can make quite a “sucking” sound while moving. If you have roommates, close the door or turn up the music. Tested at home—wouldn’t recommend if you want to be discreet.

How to clean a masturbator?

• Wash sleeves under running water with soap, then let them dry.
• Tenga disposable ones—you can try using them a second time, but at your own risk (not recommended, hygiene comes first).

When is it worth reaching for a masturbator?

• If you want something more than just your hand.
• When you’re looking for new sensations but don’t feel like going through the whole “ceremony” with a dildo or plug.
• Simply whenever you want to treat yourself.

Other Interesting Accessories Worth Considering

Masturbation isn’t just about dildos or masturbators—the world of erotic toys is much wider and can truly surprise you. If you’re in the mood for experiments, be sure to check out these categories:

• Ball stretchers – a treat for advanced users, but really gives a different kind of tension and pleasure. If you’ve never tried, start with a soft silicone model—just put it on your balls and feel how everything “stretches” with every movement.
• Flavored lubricants – you don’t have to tell anyone, but a flavored lube can totally transform a solo night—sometimes even “simple” strawberry notes make the whole session feel fresh. If you haven’t tried it yet—go ahead, it’s fun just for the experience.
• Popperbating – of course, always use with care and safety, but poppers are one of the most popular additions among gay men. Used moderately, they can really intensify sensations. I was skeptical at first, but now I have my favorite brand—just always remember to follow safety rules!

How to Take Care of Hygiene and Safety?

• Always wash your toys after use—not just for yourself, but for your own comfort.
• Use lube to avoid irritation or micro-injuries.
• Don’t share your gadgets—this is intimate, don’t even share with your best friend.
• If you feel any discomfort—put the toy aside, sometimes you just need a different size or type.

Joy in Every Inch

Masturbation isn’t just a quick way to relieve tension—it’s also a chance to get to know yourself, experiment, and take care of your own needs. Dildo, plug, ring, masturbator, or a simple lube—choose what suits you best. Don’t be afraid to try new things and listen to your body. And if you want to experiment—seriously, go for it! Trying out different accessories can be great fun and a source of new, unexpected pleasures.

And remember: nobody knows your body better than you do, so don’t listen to advice that doesn’t work for you. Try it yourself—and when you find your favorite gadget, throw it in your drawer and enjoy it whenever you want. That’s it!
