15 Best Male Masturbators and Strokers for a Solo Sex Upgrade

Maude is our preferred brand for any sex toy, because it actually makes beautiful objects. The male sex toy industry (especially the stroker world) trends heterosexual and ugly as hell. Maude was founded by Éva Goicochea—and now co-creative directed by Dakota Johnson—on the principles of good design and inclusivity.

The Dome is a simple and incredibly effective sleeve. See, even the term sleeve makes it feel more upscale than stroker or masturbator. The textured interior is one of the best we've used, and the whole thing is easy to clean. And to top it all off, it's double sided, so it's useful or solo or partner play.

Lelo's Pleasure Console has ten sensitive sensors inside the sleeve to provide feedback on speed, stamina, and skill straight to the Lelo app for a completely customizable experience. That'll either sound terrifying or thrilling. Act accordingly.

The issue with a lot of strokers is that they encourage solo sex too much. Yes, sometimes you need to get it in alone, but your Blowjob Simulator 4000 shouldn't be so techy that it replaces real human touch.

Lovehoney's Head Master is our answer, because it's perfect as a blowjob enhancer or a solo-time stroker. It's cheap, reversible, and easy to clean. With some lube, it makes for a great first stroker or a nice couples toy.

The Tenga Flex is like a classic Fleshlight, except it's made to look a tad more discreet. Plus, the Flex is, well, flexible. If the internal ribbing isn't doing it for you in a regular up-and-down motion, you can flex it into more of a spiral or block the air hole for more intense suction.

The Pulse can, we're not lying, make you orgasm without you having to touch your own penis. We love a prostate massager, but if that's too exploratory for you, this is the guybrator for your dick.

There are other models, but we especially like this interactive one because it can be controlled with an app. You can give those controls away to a partner, and they can give you a good time from across the room or across the world.

For in-person couples play, this version of the Pulse has a local remote control.

Not sure you want to shell out for a proper stroker? Try out the Tenga Egg. It's stretchable, but it's really meant for hitting the most sensitive parts of your head. So, it's not a majorly different experience to good old hand and lotion.

The only downside is that it's a one-use stroker. There's no cleaning and reusing. Fine if you're a clean freak, but ultimately it's a bit wasteful.

It's got targeted stimulation and is quiet enough not to intrude on your imagination. Plus, looks-wise, you can just tell any unsolicited houseguest that it's a high-tech smart mouse.

The devil is in the details with this oral-sex simulator. It tries to be extremely life-like in its re-creation with the exception of one detail: You can manually adjust the suction level.

Manta will hit the spot—wherever that is for you. (It's "ergonomic," shall we say.) Even better, it's designed for couples play, to turn moments with Your Someone up a notch.

When you're edging, the focus is always on the head of your penis. You want something that is quick-on, quick-off so you (or, ideally, a partner) can take yourself all the way to the edge, quickly cut the fun, and take you back a bit. For that, this little warming masturbator has six vibration modes, the ability to be squeezed, and a short 3.5-inch chamber. It's the perfect tool.

On the go? Or just low on space and looking for something that stores easy? Arcwave's Voy Compact is a great low-key option with an easily storable shape. It's only about 3.5 inches tall, but since it's open-ended, the Voy Compact can accompany any length. As for girth, Arcwave uses an ingenious Tightness Adjustment System with eight different pressure settings, which will accommodate just about anyone.

On the outside, this device looks sleek and very high-tech. But when you flip it open, it looks like, Holy shit I'm supposed to put that where?! Every centimeter inside is tightly packed with just about every stimulant you can think of—ribs, nubs, gates, flaps, pumps—to blow your mind.

I've said this a few times here, but let me do it one final time: Don't let a stroker or masturbator replace a real-world sex life. If you think a full-entry masturbator is too goon-pilled for you, consider a vibrating cock ring.

This one from Maude looks good and is easy to use, and it's got life-changing vibration levels. It'll give you the best solo sex of your life, but it's equally useful in bed with a partner.

I mean, you see it. Simple as that. But upon experimentation, more nuance is revealed. Of the adjustable inner pressure regulator. Of the grooved texture. And more, plus it's cost-effective.
