Boys and their toys

by Lavanya Trichinopoly – Krishna

Porn and Viagra – two things commonly associated with men and sex.

But it’s impossible to discuss male sexuality without taking a look at the range of products available today specifically for male stimulation.

What was once an industry primarily focused on women now offers a number of sex toys, each with different methods and purposes, for men.

Other than your usual vibrating rings and Durex Play concoctions, there are a variety of toys catering for male needs.

Sex dolls

First up there’s the sex doll.

Of course there are the cheaper vinyl inflatable dolls available even in certain mainstream shops as novelty items, but if you want a more realistic sensation (and don’t want to be doing the blowing yourself before getting any) there are a number of products you’ll want to try.

What are known as ‘sex dolls’ aren’t always a whole doll, but can be imitations of a woman’s parts or mouth.

Life-size pelvic replicas are available, some with the option of both front and rear penetration and some even to fit with one’s ethnic preference.

Though pretty unattractive to look at, these ‘female body’ replicas are made of high-quality material that provides the sensation of the real thing.

TENGA

Japanese company TENGA offers a variety of both disposable and re-usable toys specifically designed for men.

TENGA ‘Eggs’ and ‘Onacups’ are designed for single use, but come in a variety of types to suit one’s preference, and can be reused once if a condom has been worn.

The TENGA Egg, which once opened reveals a silicon device which stretches to fit any size of penis, is available in Clicker, Wavy, Silky, Sparkle, Twinkle, Twister, Stepper and Spider (or even in a six-pack egg box), each delivering a different type of orgasm.

The TENGA Flip Hole, described as "the hottest selling sex toy in Japan", is re-usable and available in two colours.

Just like TENGA’s other products, the outer design is sleek and stylish, while the interior is made of silicone, with "nubs, nodules, bumps and ridges."

At £79.99 it’s a big investment.

Monkey Spanker

If you want something cheaper and are not afraid of a little electronic action try the popular Monkey Spanker.

At a recommended retail price of £19.99 it comes with a removable vibrating bullet, and can be used when alone or combined with other sex acts to provide an even more stimulating experience.

Despite today’s society being far more liberal and open, anal stimulation for men still remains fairly taboo.

For those more open-minded males, stimulation of the prostate can prove an incredibly rewarding experience.

There are a variety of butt plugs available in different shapes and sizes, as well as anal beads for those who are just starting out.

Vibrators

However, the real excitement comes with the number of vibrators on offer.

The Pulsatron works at different speeds and has several functions for customised masturbation, while the pack contains a vibrator probe, two eggs, bullets and sleeves.

Nevertheless, those who want serious pleasure should check out the Rocks Off collection – the Rude-Boy, the Bad-Boy, or the Naughty-Boy, the latter of which is specifically designed for beginners and are available in different colours.

The range of sex toys available for men today is diverse and allows men to explore their sexuality more than ever before.

G-spot

There is a common misconception that anal sex toys are for gay men, but how can this be true when all men have a G-spot in their rear?

Many men are too shy, closed-minded or apprehensive about using toys, but they are missing out on a whole side of their sexuality that could show them a world of never-before-experienced pleasure.

But why should single people have all the fun?

If you’re in a couple and are looking for a way to liven up your sex life, why not try a penis pump to make him that bit bigger?

Or if you’re in a heterosexual relationship be the man for once and don a strap-on. The possibilities are endless!
